Thanks Paula! I got lucky with the X because I was reading A Court of Wings and Ruin at the time and Xian came up and I went with it. Good luck with your challenge!

Read "Little Deaths" by Emma Flint, great book! Finally got the "Q" done! LOL Queens, New York. Edited message 56.

[Sheryl_at_Ubookquitous]

Although past the halfway point, I'm posting this for anyone who is still looking for books to fit A-Z.

I just came across this infographic (and subsequently the original of it and the blog post that provides way more detail) by Global English Editing of the "Most Iconic Book Set in Every Country". I believe there are 150 (so not EVERY country).

https://geediting.com/blog/most-iconi...

Please note - these are based on the setting, not the author's country or the country of publication.

[Paula]

Thank you, Sheryl, that's very useful.

[Eirelyn]

Thanks, Sheryl! I bookmarked the site. :D

I'm thrilled as I thought Z was going to elude me for a while longer. I didn't even plan it, but got very excited when I started The Diviners and it starts in a place called Zenith, Ohio.
