World Literature

[close] I'm hosting a readathon from August 1st- 31st. The aim is to read diversely across the world, with the aim to read at least one book by an author from each continent (or a book about that continent. I'm looking at you Antarctica). You can sign up via the link-up post on my blog : https://thebooktower92.wixsite.com/thebooktower/post/readathon-announcement-diverseathon You can sign up with any social media link, Goodreads, Twitter, Instagram, Blog etc... Wherever you talk about books! Be sure to use the #Diverseathon when you talk about the readathon on social media and follow me on Instagram for the most up to date info at the_book_tower.

[close] The challenge: Read 12 books in 2018 from 12 different countries

[close] I am making this group to gather a handful of people to read an agreed book and later discuss, however serious or silly. Because my interests skew toward foreign and translated literature, that is the main theme. But given that good lit is everywhere, there will of course be American lit or reoccurring lit from the same country. Examples of this include, Marlon James, Chigozie Obioma, Haruki Murakami, Eka Kurniawan, and so on.

[close] A group for New Zealand book lovers (and authors) and lovers of New Zealand books (and books in general). A place to share what we are reading, introduce books we have written, and to discuss and recommend books. The more members joining in on discussions the better, so please recommend us to your friends. You do not have to be a New Zealander to be a part of this group.
