Cheryl (cherylllr) Die Lauscherin im Beichtstuhl: Eine Klosterkatze ermittelt?

Well, I just finished American Gods and to be honest, he didn't really cover that much the country. I know that wasn't the point, exactly, but I can say my main character spent most the story in northern Wisconsin.

I recently started with The Serpent on the Crown a Amelia Peabody mystery. I love her stories even as the pattern is quiete similar ""Every year another dead body" said Abdullah"
So my Chars are in Luxor and in the Valley of Kings on the West Bank of the Nile.

Is it a bookring? I never heard of a book about bookcrossing.

Chana | 30 comments Uh oh, let's see if I can remember where I am without looking at the book. I think that I am on a boat called the Play Pen at a dock in Bahia Mar, Florida. I am a good guy but for the sake of taking down a bad guy I have just drugged a girl and am getting ready to, I think, hit a bad guy with a lead filled sock. he,he,he
Should I check and see? Yup, I'm on the Play Pen, and prior to clocking the bad guy I am conducting a whirl wind search of the boat while the bad guy is off on a set up errand.
Can you guess what I'm reading or who wrote it?

Bookguide | 46 comments I'm an American journalist visiting various white people living in Africa. I've talked to an eccentric Englishman living on an island off Tanzania, hunters turned safari-leaders and sculptors, I've walked in Nigeria, visited gorilla conservationists on the Congo border, and now I'm talking to Richard Leakey, discoverer of a treasure trove of ancient hominid bones.
No Man's Land by John Heminway. (Sorry, can't remember how to make links).

Easy Bookguide: Above the comment box, towards the right, you can see "add book/author". Click on that and the "add a reference" screen comes up. Type in the name of the book, click search, and choose the book you want to link.

We're in Verona and we're falling in love! I'm reading Romeo and Juliet.

I'm also reading about two older lovers in Sussex: Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson. Absolutely charming. A must read.

PS: You're welcome Bookguide and Feodora.

Now I am in Goteborg and my character is Irene Hus a criminal inspector. I like the stories about her from Helen Thrusten. Normally I am not a fan of scandinavian authors but she is good.

Nancy Brady (minesayn) | 162 comments My main character is deep underground somewhere in Kentucky (but not Mammoth Cave) and is going under the Beyond...having an adventure where he is just seen giant brightly colored mushrooms! He is a young man that now looks about 85-90. It is the novel, Etidorpha: or The End of the Earth, one of the first sci-fi books ever written, if not the first!
