PopSugar Reading Challenge 2021 discussion

What book have you read that takes place in multiple countries? Do you know which countries?

I will be reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer.

Here Comes the Sun by Nicole Dennis-Benn
Setting: Jamaica

The Athena Protocol by Shamim Sarif. Set in Cameroon, United Kingdom, and Serbia

The Kennedy Debutante by Kerri Muher

Cutting for Stone takes place in India , Ethiopia , and the US, plus it can be used for a title with mineral or rock....and it’s a great book, if you don’t mind a little “bleed” as there is a lot of discussion about surgical procedures.

I read What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami. The book is a memoir that follows the author's journey with long-distance running. He runs marathons and other races primarily in Japan, but also in various parts of the US, and Greece.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is set in France, US and several others.

I have selected The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzie Lee for this prompt. I very much enjoyed the first book in this series, The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue which would also be a good match for this category.

Americanah is set in the US and in Nigeria

I read, and LOVED, When We Believed In Mermaids. It's set in the US and New Zealand. I loved the majority of this book but the ending felt abrupt.

I read Afropean: Notes from Black Europe by Johny Pitts. The British author visits Belgium, France, Germany, Portugal, The Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, and Spain, examining black communities in those countries. Not as heavy as it sounds, and very interesting.

Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros takes place in Mexico and the US

I read The End of October for this prompt.
