An Introvert's World of Books discussion

As a group, every time you read a book set in another country add it to this folder and let's see how far we can travel. Repeat destinations are allowed.

The searcher by Tana French takes place in a small village in Ireland read in January

The Dry by Jane Harper takes place in fictional Kiewarra Australia. I just finish this one

This is a great start. And I just finished Shadow of the Wind - Spain.

We can add London to the list: The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah.

Song of Achilles is set in Greece.
Invisible life of Addie LaRue takes place in Paris, London, New York.

In January I read: Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier and it's set in Cornwall, England, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen set in England, and The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide takes place in Tokyo, Japan

In February I read: Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows- Guernsey - British crown dependency and London, England

Hope I'm not being too chatty. :)

Not too chatty at all. Rebecca is on my to-be-read. How was it?

Oh, I forgot to add my book... Ireland : An Irish Country Welcome by Patrick Taylor

I read Rebecca in high school over 50 years ago! I loved it and want to read it again.

Miss Benson's Beetle was set in New Caledonia. I didn't even know where that was until I read the book. I loved this story! (The author also wrote Harold Fry and it's sequel about Queen.)

I definitely want to read Addie LaRue.

Me too. :)

Just finished The Secret Recipe for Second Chances by J.D. Barrett set in Australia.

Just finished “the world’s strongest librarian” by Josh Hanagarne

Took place in Utah, USA.

Just finished A Lifetime of Impossible Days by Tabitha Bird. Took place in Australia.

I haven’t finished it but I wanted to add, “Soul of an Octopus” by Sy Montgomery. It’s in Boston, US

(4 hours left on the book.)

Got it :)

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs is an amazing series. The first book was in Wales

Miss Benson's Beetle takes place in England and France.

I've just finished Princess: The True Story of Life Inside Saudi Arabia's Royal Family, Now Updated by Jean Sasson which is an interesting book set in Saudia Arabia and tells the experience of women's oppression.

I added the book to the list. That does sound interesting!

I just finished Flight of Dreams by Ariel Lawhon. It mostly took place in air but I will categorize it under Germany.

This is one of those books that linger after you turned the last page. And speed-read the last chapter. The mix between fact and fiction was seamless and very believable. An interesting explanation of the Hindenburg explosion.

I added Scotland to the list. I just finished Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy.

I finished The Kite Runner last month and forgot to add it. Powerful but very heavy if you are sensitive, like me, to bullies.

Starting The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang and it takes place in China

I finished Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata and it takes place in Japan

In chapter two of El Filibusterismo by Jose Rizal which takes place in the Philippines.

I finished reading The Island of Missing Trees a few months ago and it takes place in England and Cyprus.
