Finland

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.

[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

[close] Welcome to the Scandi Book Club! 🌲☕ Our club was created for everyone who is in love with the atmosphere of the North. We read and discuss books by authors from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. There is a place for everything here: from chilling Nordic Noir and gripping psychological thrillers to cozy contemporary fiction in the spirit of hygge and lagom, sweeping family sagas, and rugged Northern history. (And sometimes, as an exotic exception, we will visit our neighbors in Iceland and Finland to experience their volcanic noir and deep forest magic!) What we do in our community: • Book of the Month: We cooperatively choose and read our main book through our community voting. • Spoiler-Free Discussions: We share honest reviews and thoughts in dedicated discussion threads. • Curated Recommendations: We build helpful bookshelves featuring the best authors of the Scandinavian trio. • Cozy Chats: We chat about all things bookish over a cup of hot tea. Join us, grab a warm blanket, and let’s read together! It is always warm in here, despite the northern winds. ✨
