History

[close] The Goodreads page for BBC World Book Club - the BBC World's Service podcast where the world's best authors answer your questions. Here you'll get updates about our upcoming authors, suggest books you'd like us to feature, and share your thoughts and questions on the books we'll read together.

[close] Hi everybody 🤓📖 In MBC we read different types of nonfiction books.I also do polls and my book club is only available on Goodreads and not on any social media websites so feel free to join the group and share the group link on social media.

[close] This is a group for people who enjoy books that transport them to a different time and place through time travel. We have a monthly book club, offer monthly book giveaways, and try to keep the discussion lively.

[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.
