[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.

[close] Welcome, our Beauties and Beasts to a world of pure imagination (and maybe a few non-fictions tossed in there). We will post our reading suggestions for the month in the "reading now" section but do not feel like you have to read it. Time is a struggle and we completely get it! We are moms so we get it. But reading is our safe space so expect a LOT of book options!

[close] Are you having difficulty recalling the title of a favorite romance novel? Here's the place to post your plot(s) and let fellow romance readers help you identify your book. Every new book search should be a new topic! Also don't forget to edit the book search title and put SOLVED once it has been solved. This way it will be easier to see which book searches have been solved. Every author (in What happened to... folder) should be added as a new topic! That way we will avoid duplicates. Please come back often and check whether your elusive title has been solved. It can be solved in a minute, an hour, a day, a month, a year or two or more. It can be solved by a new or old member of the group or by you. Please do come back and let us know whether your book search has been solved. Tips: When posting a book search try to write down everything you can remember about the book. Be clear and specific as possible. How old is the book? Is it from the 70s, 80s, 90s or 2000? What is the cover like? How thick was the book or how many pages? Was it a hardback? Did you read it on Kindle? Any detail no matter how small might trigger someone's memory and help in the search. Thank you.
