North America

[close] Canadians, please come and share your favourite national literature on the group bookshelf... whether it's books by Canadian authors, those featuring our home and native land, or topics near and dear to our Canadian identity.

[close] Dig deep into the past with us! This group is for the discussion of all things Native American (Indian) in North America prior to the 1900's and as far back into the past as you'd like to go when native man was upon the lands of North America.

[close] Now collecting nominations for books. Will read stories about humans in a different era of time each month. In each era will try to find stories about humans from different continents to create a cohesive history of humanity over the course of 3 years.

[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.
