Romance

[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] There is at least one reading challenge within the group per month as well as quarterly reading challenges, buddy reads, book of the month group discussions, non-competitive challenges, read to reviews, and more. Group Rules Please be respectful of this and other groups. Spamming other groups and other members will not be tolerated. Reviews must be original, new, and not be a synopsis of the book. Anyone not following these guidelines will be removed from the group after three infractions. If you have questions feel free to contact a moderator.

[close] This is your official invitation to spiral over fictional characters with other obsessed readers!😁 We read books, we overanalyze everything, and we absolutely will judge your favorite tropes (lovingly… mostly). Expect emotional damage, unhinged opinions, and at least one book that changes your brain chemistry. Join if you’ve ever said “just one more chapter” and then ruined your sleep schedule

[close] If you love to read romance novels, or just read, and you like reading challenges, come and join this group. If you look at your TBR list and don't know which book to start with, worry no more. We will give you a reason to jump into your next novel. We have a variety of reading challenges, monthly book recommendations, buddy reads, book-and non-book-related discussions, author interviews/giveaways and plenty of fun and games to keep you entertain while hanging out with a bunch of people that love to read and talk about books. We know some members like to promote their work or a project but we ask that all promotion is posted in the allocated (Self) Promotions folder only. Happy Reading!
