[close] **Welcome to Books and Bakes!** If you’ve ever found yourself saying, "I'd rather be reading... and eating a cupcake," then you’re in the right place. Welcome to Books and Bakes, where we mix two of life’s greatest pleasures: devouring books and devouring baked goods! We meet on the last Tuesday of every month in the cosy nook of Little Pickers, where the smell of freshly made grazing boards mingles with the aroma of literary discussion. Here, we promise delightful reads, delectable food, and perhaps an insightful debate or two over which was more satisfying—the plot twist or the cheese. So, grab your favourite bookmark and your best baking pan, because at Books and Bakes, we believe that a good book is best enjoyed with good company and an even better brownie. Whether you're here for the literature, the lemon bars, or just to laugh with friends, we can't wait to see you at our next meeting. Happy reading!

[close] Reading takes you places. Where in the world will your next book take you? If you love world literature, translated works, travel writing, or exploring the world through books, you have come to the right place! ATW80 began in 2009 as a challenge on TNBBC. The separate group was established in 2011. Anyone can join and participate in the challenges or readings at any time. Challenge participation is not a requirement of joining. Anyone who loves reading books from around the world is welcome here. The main purpose of this group is to travel the world through books, experiencing new authors and cultures along the way. Want to read about the world? We have close to 50,000 books cataloged by setting and more are added each week. I personally started reading around the world in 2008. This venture has introduced me to far off lands, fresh viewpoints, and many new authors I might not have discovered otherwise. Here is a record of my travels since 2009: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/18478768-diane-s-world-travels-by-book I have worked very hard gathering resources for others to use and coming up with new activities.

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” - Dr. Suess “There are too many books I haven’t read, too many places I haven’t seen, too many memories I haven’t kept long enough.” ― Irwin Shaw Globe Stand Photo: Daniel Loiselle/Getty Images
