Around the World in Books discussion

Seems that no book has been selected for June, no polls for July. Has the group disbanded?

Hi, Everyone,

I apologize! The club is not disbanded. I got suddenly and severely sick and did not keep up! I am so sorry, but I am back and will try to get a book for July. Look for the poll today or tomorrow.

Laureen

Glad you are feeling better!

Hi all
I just wanted to highlight the 666 reading challenge that is running for 2016.
The aim being to read 6 books which are set in OR are written by an author from 6 different countries in each of the 6 continents within the 12 month period of the 1st day of 2016 and the last.

This challenge is hosted through BookCrossing, which is free to join, and can be found here:

If you're on Twitter the hashtag is #666for2016

I hope some of you will sign up and join us in 2016 ;)

Hi Josie..... thanks for the challenge info...but the link you gave is for a discussion of favorite books released this year. I see nothing about the 666 challenge.

Oops, not sure what went wrong there

Yes...that worked...thanks.... I was already going to do a mapping challenge for one of my reading groups...I'll add this.

Great, glad you'll be joining us
Please do post your interest in the BookCrossing thread ;)

This reading challenge sounds perfect for the Goodreads Around the World in Books group. Will try to find selections from the different continents listed for those interested in participating!

If anyone is looking for inspiration, here is the #666for2015 thread
