Group Reading Map (2016)
Updated through Message #753.Let me know if you're still having difficulty Pyewacket. You should be able to see it here.
Hi Emm, no I cannot see the map. "We are sorry, but you do not have access to this service." I am sure it has something to do with my google account which is managed by the service provider cpa.com. No big deal - thank you very much for your efforts.
Perhaps if you're signed out of that Google account you could view it?
Mod
Highgate Cemetery West, Swain's Ln, London N6 6PJ, United Kingdom
Thumbprint: A Story by Joe Hill
It doesn't give a specific city but we can use:
Old Forge, New York
Is that really where it's set, Laura? Or is that just where you want to map it? Curious for my personal map.
Dietrich & Riefenstahl: Hollywood, Berlin and a Century in Two Lives by Karen Wieland All four cities are of major importance in this book:

Map is being updated now.Adding for myself ...

London, England ... and the wide open sea, but I'll stick with London.
V for Vendetta by Alan Moore
Mostly London too, I'd say. A lot of things get blown up there so I'm going with that.
I'll also add myself to Laura's post for The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Okay, everything through message #770 is added.I am not sure I ever mentioned it (although you can all see for yourselves) that we have read every continent! :D This is largely due to Adam reading a book set in Antarctica. :D
It seems the U.S. and the U.K. are popular destinations. As far as the U.S. is concerned, South Dakota appears to be the only state we've missed to date.

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles DickensCan you please add my name to the locations (London and Paris) that are already up there, as previously added by Jody?
Many thanks!
The Book of Negroes - There are quite a few settings for this one. I'd say the main ones are: Bayo, West Africa (Aminata's hometown), South Carolina (her first home as a slave), and Birchtown, Nova Scotia. There are also quite important parts of the story that take place in Sierra Leone and London, England, but I'm not sure if those would be classified as primary or secondary. I'd say if anything London is primary, and Sierra Leone secondary.The Thirteenth Tale - England. I haven't found anything more specific yet.
