Since I'm now reading a book which takes place in Mali and will read one shortly which takes place in Suriname, it seems like a good time to give this a try...
1. Voetstappen in het Zand by Sarah Challis (5-11-2016) - Mali

I have recently read Private India: City on Fire by James Patterson taking place in India. And Private taking place in the U.S.

If they're retellings, that would be fine. But with other book it would be preferred if the book says the Location.

Maybe we can help each other with finding books for the more difficult ones?!



Lol, that's alright, Dave! ;-)
I wonder how many years it will take to finish this one... :-)

Lol, that's alright, Dave! ;-)
I wonder how many years it will take to finish this one... :-)"
I can see a long and winding road ahead, most of it is uphill but by leaning on one another and taking a few breaks to enjoy the view, we will reach the summit and plant our flags declaring "we did it!"
:o)
I have recently been to my library and collected a book set partly in England and also in India by Hanif Kureishi called The Last Word
scrub that, it's set in England mainly, so it won't count towards India :o(. Back to the drawing board.



check out the blog under the heading 'the list', for inspiration :o)



Lol! Glad to hear you decided to join us, Angelique. Hop on board! :-)
I would love to join this too might take me a while though.... :)

And I do have a book for that!
