*****NOTE- NEED NOT BE THE SETTING...JUST MENTIONED IN A 1001 BOOK!!!!!*****

A-Z Challenge: Locations Edition

Read a book from the combined 1001 book lists with a specific location name to fit for each letter of the alphabet. Each location must be a proper noun and begin with that letter of the alphabet. You may only use one location per book, but that location can be real or fictional. Locations may be, but are not limited to, countries, cities, villages, bodies of water, mountains, states, provinces, fictional realms, planets, etc. The entire book does not need to be set in the location, it merely needs to be mentioned by name somewhere within the book. This does not need to be done in a particular order. It's your challenge, and your rules.

Here are some examples using non-1001 books:
A: Austria in The Story of the Trapp Family Singers
B: Boston in Love Story
C: Caribbean or Cuba in Our Man in Havana
D: Dahomalia in Stand on Zanzibar
