copy/pasting from the other thread...

Finland: Your Presence Is Requested at Suvanto: A Novel by Maile Chapman

Iceland: Ice Land by Betsy Tobin and The Sagas of Icelanders (no author)

Russia: anything by Tolstoy and Dostoevsky

Sweden: Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist and the Millennium trilogy (Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, etc) by Stieg Larsson

Iceland: Zen and the Art of the Vampires by Katie MacAlister

I think I've gotten them all.

Romania- Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey (the last part of it)

How do we deal with books that take place in multiple countries?

Norway: Out Stealing Horses
Denmark: To Siberia (maybe Siberia, too, I don't know, haven't read it)
Albania: Broken April (if you really must, it was a pretty awful book)
Bosnia/ Herzegovina: The Cellist of Sarajevo
Spain: The Sun Also Rises
Ukraine: Everything Is Illuminated
Greece: Four Walls
Vatican City: Angels & Demons

Thanks Jennifer. I'll start adding them.

I definitely would add Zlata's Diary to to the Bosnia list.
It was written by Zlata Filipovic in 1994 when she was 11 years old, about her experiences living through the war in Sarajevo.
For teachers too, this would be great to compare/contrast with Diary of Anne Frank.

I just read Postcard Killers by James Patterson. It mainly takes place in Stockhold, Sweden.

Thanks Sheila

No Greater Sacrifice takes place mostly in France but some in England

Ireland: the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning
Russia: Shadow Touch by Marjorie M. Liu

Here are a couple.. I know I have more, but can't think of them right now:-)

Andorra - If You Dare (historical romance)
Germany - The Book Thief
Poland - The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Ireland - Uncertain Magic (HR), Angela's Ashes
Italy - Your Scandalous Ways (HR, but not my fave by this author)
France - Rescue Me (romantic suspense)
Switzerland - check out Ramuz (swiss author)
Hungary - most of the PNR series Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter takes place there.
Romania - Christine Feehan's Carpathian series (I know the first book, Dark Prince, is set there).
Wales - When Beauty Tamed the Beast (HR)

I think they are updated now. Thanks everyone.

A little late, but I still think I can be of help -

Bulgaria - Ballad for Georg Henig. It's a lovely book, if you're able to find it.
Slovenia - Paulo Coelho's Veronika Decides to Die takes place there.

Spain: For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway
France: Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo, I will Repay and Sir Percy Leads the Band and The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy, The Forbidden Rose by Joanna Bourne, The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
UK: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, anything by Georgette Heyer (historical romance, mystery), The Fashion Police by Sibel Hodge (chick-lit mystery)
Austria: The Reluctant Heiress by Eva Ibbotson (YA)
Italy: The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone

The books I'll suggest are not only located in Greece, they are also written by a Greek author, and translated in several languages. The author is MARKARIS Petros and my favorite book of his would be Si è suicidato il Che.

Also, Scarabeo and other books of Michele Guittari, located in Italy and, to be exact, most of them in Florence.

I'm not sure if this is a new feature on goodreads but I've never seen it before. I thought this was the perfect place to share it. It's a comprehensive list of all the "set in" locations.
