I am still in Willie Lincoln's grave, but only for 30 more pages. It would probably sound weird, but I don't want to leave! This book is fantastic.

Also, I am still into an autistic brain, and the short stories collection I am reading is bringing me around different places.

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm glad you're enjoying it Sandra!

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm in China today.

[Peggy]

I'm in the US, but I'm not sure if the city/state was mentioned.

[[deleted user]]

I am in (Saint) Petersburg, Russia, Cornwall, England, and Chicago, Illinois (US) but not all in the same novel.

[Lori Z]

I'm in a French chateau with vampires and witches.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I’m heading off to India for a while.

[Esther]

my eyes are still in Ghana and my ears are about to go to China.

[Tejas Janet]

I started the day in Catalonia, Spain. Then went to Paris, France. Finished up spending some time in the streets of Manhattan. Lots of good food and drink all day : )

[Kristie, Moderator]

Just spent some time in New York.

[Cherie]

I am in Deseronto, Ontario in Janurary 1918. It is so hard to comprehend that it has been 100 years ago since WWI. Only 100 years ago?

[Sarah]

I was in Oslo, Norway.

[Travis]

On my flight which could be yesterday or today depending how you looked at it since switched time zones at some point I was listening to Wayward which I believe is set in wayward pines. Now I'm trying to think where that is or would be. Was there some mention of Oregon ? Anyone who's read the series know?

[Travis]

Actually they just told me. Wayward Pines, Idaho. Eh I was close. Pacific Northwest anyway

[Cherie]

Here is the first line from the story summary from book #1, Travis. "Secret service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a clear mission: locate and recover two federal agents who went missing in the bucolic town one month earlier. "

I do not think it is a real town in Idaho.

I have all three books marked as TBR, but what I want to know is the time frame. Is it in the future, if yes, does it say what year or is it contemporary time?

[Travis]

Where I'm at Cherie it's 2013. I'm not sure about Pines but I'd say just a tad earlier. Maybe 2011-2012. I haven't figured how much time has gone by since the last book started . I think he just set them around the year he was writing them

Oh no I know it's not a real town in Idaho. One guy has been in Washington Oregon and California

[Travis]

Truth is Cherie. Upon further review I'm not sure what the mention of 2013 was for. And to reveal the actual time is kind of a spoiler

[Cherie]

No spoilers, please. I was only asking because someone was asking for a book set in the 2030 time frame. I thought it was in the future, but not how far in the future.

[Travis]

How about 2035. The Martian

[Cherie]

Thank you, Travis! You are the best. Honestly, I did not ever know the timeline for that one. If I heard it , I never picked up on it.

[Peggy]

I'm packed like cattle on a train in Russia.

[Sarah]

I just solved a crime in Norway.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

I'm in the middle of County Wicklow, Ireland trying to solve a murder.

I am super lucky I visited Wicklow National Park, and a village just like the one described when we were there in August, as I am totally sucked into the location.

[Sandra, Moderator]

I am in NYC, 1917, looking for a missing girl.

[Sarah]

That's a bit of luck Rusalka. I like knowing the locations personally in books. It definitly helps to create a better image in your mind. I had visited Prague just before reading Daughter of Smoke & Bone and it really added to my experience.

[Jayme, Moderator]

I am in a coal mining town in the Appalachian Mountains.

[Jackie]

I am at a dig at Ur, in ancient Mesopotamia (current day Iraq).

[Margo]

I'm bi-locating between Kelsigra, (city of dragons), and an intergalactic empire.

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm in Seattle, overly concerned about a dog instead of solving a crime. I'm also about to put another crime on hold in Los Angeles so that I can blast out into space.

[Lisa]

I'm in England in the 1550s, trying to fight my ever growing attraction to a Benedictine monk.

Naughty!

I know! 😊 I'm trying to be good, I really am. Honest.

[Lori Z]

I'm in London hanging out with witches and vampires

[Kristie, Moderator]

I’ve been in outer space.

[[deleted user]]

Like Lori, I am in London, but there aren't any vampires or witches to be found. Also, I have been to Olomouc (Olmütz) in the Czech Republic.

[Mariab]

I'm orbiting the Earth and in my way to Paris

[Esther]

i am trying to solve a mysterious case in Paris.

[Anne (Booklady)]

I'm in Ohio. Zeke is a cop and a Biker. IA is gunning for him.

[Cherie]

I have been lost, high in the desert of Southern Arizona/Mexico, with a group of people, waiting for the fall rains to make our way out and back to Forlorn River. Fantastic western saga, first published in 1913. Zane Grey's Shower of Gold.

I was somewhere in outer space, earlier this morning, but the desert story called to me.

[Janice, Moderator]

It sounds forlorn where you're at Cherie.

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm splitting my time between Los Angeles, solving a crime, and Toronto where things are getting a bit weird.

[Peggy]

I'm in California but I doubt I'll stay there long.

[Lisa]

I'm in Amsterdam in the year 1686. My new husband has just given me a miniature house as a wedding present and now strange things are afoot.

[Lilisa]

From digging a well in Ongoren, Turkey, to spending the night with the red-haired woman, I now seem to be moving up in the world visiting museums around Europe. I think I'm fixin' to come crashing down to reality soon...

[Sandra, Moderator]

Still in NYC 1917. Part of the mystery is solved, but it happened to be only the point of an iceberg...

[Margo]

I am in (sounds like) Dejellibaby, on the discworld. It bears a remarkable resemblance to ancient egypt :-)

[Rusalka, Moderator]

I'm in South London in 1922.

[Mariab]

I'm lost in the desert, somewhere in North Africa

[Cherie]

I was resigned to be IRL today, but I could not go a whole day without reading something, so I am in Spain at the Guggenheim Museum.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I was stuck IRL today too, though I have to admit it was a nice, relaxing day. I think I'm heading to the North Pole before I head to bed though.
