Michelle (girlvsbook) | 1173 comments Completed! Updates for Stacey, Babitix, Francesca, Marina H, Laura, Adam, Kathy, Zaz, Aglaea, Kiki, Stephanie, Sarah, Jody, and Katerina.

Kathy - You did not include an author so I did a search. I'm assuming Kate Carlisle is correct.

Aglaea - It counts if you think it counts. I added it. ;)

Katerina - Some of your towns were fictional and I had to give it my best guess from what research I could do. I haven't added Leaf by Niggle yet because you didn't give me a fictional place name. We can add fantasy places but I'm not familiar with the book so I do not know what to label the place as. :x

Adam - Added Fool Moon. Sorry I missed it.

Babitix - Maycomb, AL is fictional. But it is based on the author's hometown of Monroeville, AL.

message 547: by Michelle (last edited Apr 25, 2016 06:57PM) (new)

Michelle (girlvsbook) | 1173 comments All done. Phew, the map is really filling out. It's lovely to look through. I cannot wait to see the finished product.

Added for Estelle, Sarah, Kelly, Debra, Marina H, Laura, Babitix, Jody, Laura, Veronica, Adam, Michelle, Pauline, Kathy, and Rachel. I believe that's everyone.

Veronica - If Broken Wheel, IA is a real place, I cannot seem to find it on the map. I did a Google search and there was a post on the author's blog that suggested it was not a real place but closely resembled a town called Clarence, IA. That's where I put it. If it is a real place and you have a better idea of where it is, let me know and I'll change it.

Adam - In typical Stephen King fashion, Harwich is a made up town. I put Harwich in Hartford, CT because Hartford has a Harwich St.

Michelle - Genovia is one of those places that is fictional but co-exists with real locations. Since it is meant to be a fictional country between France and Spain, I added it to the border of those two countries.

Pauline - I'm not sure if Boise, Colorado is a typo or if that's an actual place in the book. I assumed it was a typo and it should be Idaho but if I'm wrong let me know.

Michelle (girlvsbook) | 1173 comments Oh! Also added my book.

message 549: by Veronica (new)

Veronica (ronireads13) | 816 comments Emm- sorry about that! Guess I didn't research thoroughly in that one! Thanks for correcting it.


message 550: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (girlvsbook) | 1173 comments Hey, no problem. It was a bit confusing, even after research, I'll admit. I might have thought the same thing if Google Maps hadn't been so stubborn about it.
