[close] Join me in my goal to read a book from every country in the world and share your favourite international reads!

[close] Hi, welcome. Bored? Looking for somethin' to do? Somethin' to keep you occupied? Search no more my friend. Updated daily (hopefully) and with lots of help of fellow goodreaders like you (also hopefully) we can have some solid good times. So, as the name says, join us.

[close] Welcome Tree Fronds! This is a small, cozy book club for people who love trees, forests, and the more-than-human world. We read both fiction and nonfiction that deepen our relationship with nature, and we pair books with simple practices you can do from wherever you are. We read 1 book every 1–2 months and you’re welcome to join even if you’re reading slowly or just lurking.

[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
