[close] Welcome to Sisters in Books, a friendly Prague-based community for all bookworms who love reading and discussing books! This group aims to build friendship, support, and empowerment for women (non-cis + non-binary friends welcome) who wish to share their love for good literature. Join our circle as we explore acclaimed literature and share our thoughts and insights with one another through monthly book discussions and meetups. In this group, we read various genres - fiction and nonfiction, fantasy, contemporary, or historical - with a focus on popular reads (BookTube & Goodreads favorites), especially books that promote women's and queer voices and stories. This group runs on mutual respect and encouragement, and we support women’s rights, queer, trans, and POC rights. Thank you for being a part of the community. PS: We are all about friendship and building a community, not about networking, business, or sales. #nospam

[close] Ve výzvě "S knihou kolem světa" se každý měsíc vydáme do jiné země a čteme knihu od autora této národnosti, ale navíc k tomu se věnujeme i dalším činnostem - pustíme si film či seriál pocházející z této země, uvaříme si jídlo typické pro tamní kuchyni a seznámíme se s člověkem, který z této země pochází. O mé vlastní zkušenosti s touto výzvou píšu blog (https://sknihoukolemsveta.wixsite.com/page), ale mimo to můžeme sdílet naše zážitky s výzvou přímo zde.

[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.
