Novels

[close] Are you a proud member of the Bookaholics Anonymous, who believes that "Winter is Coming" is the perfect excuse to curl up with a good book? Do you think that "To Read or Not to Read" is never the question because reading always wins? If so, then "Let's gab about BOOKS!" is the place for you! Join our merry band as we embark on epic adventures from the comfort of our cozy nooks. Whether you're a muggle exploring the wizarding world of "Harry Potter," solving mysteries with Sherlock Holmes or Pippa (if you like AGGGTM), or traveling through Middle-earth with Frodo and Sam, our club has something for every literary taste. Each month, we select a new book to devour and discuss, from classics like "Pride and Prejudice" to contemporary hits like "Gone Girl" Our meetings are filled with lively discussions. So, if you're ready to swap "Once Upon a Time" stories and dive into the pages of "The Great Gatsby," come join us. We'll provide the books; you bring the wit and wisdom. Let's get lost in a world of words together! Remember, as J.K. Rowling said, "When in doubt, go to the library"—or in this case, join "Let's Talk Books."

[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
