Group Reading Map (2016)
I can't remember if I've submitted my books yet, sorry if I did:The Gospel of Loki - Asgard (fantasy location)
Hollow World - Primary : Detroit, MI & Secondary : Paris, France, but both 2000 years in the future
The Dragon Keeper - Realm of the Elderlings (fantasy location, I had to look up the name and found this source)
Coraline - Somewhere in the UK, couldn't find another location
I don't know if you want to list everyone who read Attachments, but if you do, I'm in ;)
White Fang, by Jack LondonPrimary: along the Mackenzie River in the Yukon Territory, Canada
They travel to Great Slave Lake (also Yukon Territory), so I am guessing towards that end of the river.
Secondary: Dawson, Yukon Territory

Just one question: How do you know if the book it's included in the ATY challenge? I mean, I am including all the books reported here in the Group Reading Map in the Progress Post and also in my personal plan, but I am not always checking if they are included in the alphabetic section. So, please, tell me how they qualify, so I can make sure, my books always meet the requirements :)
Silvia - Members should only submit the books they're reading for this group and this challenge. That's what I meant by only books in the ATY (Around the Year in 52 Books) Challenge. Some members are doing other challenges alongside this one or read extra books that are not related to this challenge. It would be too much to do every book every member is reading for every challenge they're doing. Does that make sense? :)
If you're including only the books you're reading for this challenge then you're doing it right. You do not have to make sure they're listed in the alphabetical section (unless you want to discuss them).
