✩ A location can be as broad or as specific as you want...anything from a country (or I suppose even a planet - especially for Sci-Fi fans) down to a specific building. The one limitation is in order to qualify the name must be capitalized in normal use. For example, "amusement park" would not qualify, but "Disneyland" would.✩ For the letter "X", any location with the letter "X" in its name is acceptable.

Danielle's 2016 A-Z Location ChallengeDuration: January 1, 2016 - December 31, 2016
The Goal:
✩ Read 26 books in which the location names begin with the letters of the alphabet.
The Guidelines:
✩ A location can be as broad or as specific as you want...anything from a country (or I suppose even a planet - especially for Sci-Fi fans) down to a specific building. The one limitation is in order to qualify the name must be capitalized in normal use. For example, "amusement park" would not qualify, but "Disneyland" would.
✩ For the letter "X", any location with the letter "X" in its name is acceptable.
✩ Feel free to join the challenge any time during the year. As long as the books were read in 2016, you can go ahead and backdate.
✩ Have fun! Be sure to check out the lists of other players...it's a great way to find new TBR's!
✩Feel free to update your posts if you like, but please repost when you complete the challenge - it makes tracking so much easier and reduces the chance that your accomplishment will be missed!

I'm in!!!2016 2016 A-Z Location Challenge
Duration: January 1, 2016 - December 31, 2016
The Goal:
✩ Read 26 books in which the location names begin with the letters of the alphabet.
The Guidelines:
✩ A location can be as broad or as specific as you want...anything from a country (or I suppose even a planet - especially for Sci-Fi fans) down to a specific building. The one limitation is in order to qualify the name must be capitalized in normal use. For example, "amusement park" would not qualify, but "Disneyland" would.
✩ For the letter "X", any location with the letter "X" in its name is acceptable.
✩ Feel free to join the challenge any time during the year. As long as the books were read in 2016, you can go ahead and backdate.
✩ Have fun! Be sure to check out the lists of other players...it's a great way to find new TBR's!
✩Feel free to update your posts if you like, but please repost when you complete the challenge - it makes tracking so much easier and reduces the chance that your accomplishment will be missed!

This is a fun one! I'm enjoying spotting place names in my books, trying to see where I can use one :)I've got 8 done so far this year :)
I am wondering how others are choosing the location. Does the majority of the book occur there, or just a chapter or a place where something significant happens in the book? How is everyone else deciding?
We didn't really make any solid rules about how to determine whether a location qualifies or not, so it's pretty much left up to the individual how they want to interpret it. Personally, I tend to go with either a large portion of the book (maybe over half if it's an average length novel, less if the book is particularly long) if it's a geographical location like a state or country. For a smaller site (like Disneyland, mentioned above), I will use it if something very significant to the storyline happens there, even if only a small portion of the whole story takes place there. Hope this helps!
I'm with KarenH - going for majority of book taking place at location. or for letter of alphabet which may be harder to find.
