Hour 1: Where are you?

[Iluzija]

Hello readers!

Do you like to travel? I do. By train or by plain or by book. Yes, I said by book. Because, it is true, we travel to another place or another time with every page we turn.

So, here's a question, where are you now? Where from and where to did your book take you?

I just cracked open Blood of Elves. While siting on a sofa in Split, Croatia, I traveled to Northern Kingdoms.

[Maddie]

I'm almost halfway into Vampire Diaries #3 audiobook, sitting at my desk playing Candy Crush. And I'm now in Fell's Church with vampires.

[Nikki ~ The Nocturnal Bookworm]

Laying on my couch in Louisiana and my book has taken me to Detroit.

[Samantha]

I'm experiencing a heat wave at a crime scene in Boston, while I snuggle on my sofa in Wales.

[Karsyn]

I'm in NC, but my book takes me to Washington D.C. - in Sacred Sins. Needed to go there for a Challenge. :)

[Pam]

Upstate NY at the base of the Adirondacks. Reading Aftermath by Chuck Wendig. I am bouncing from planet to planet in the Star Wars Universe. In my happy place!

[Elsi]

I'm reading a Finnish book Ainoa taivas that takes place in a small Finnish town. I'm just 40 pages into it and already crying.

[Liora]

I traveled to the Thumb Islands off the coast of Connecticut whilst reading A Likely Story by Jenn McKinlay

[Avid Reader and Geek Girl]

I'm at home in WI, I'm from WI and my book is taking me to Weep!

Hi from Wales!

I'm prepping lunch on my kitchen in Wales while I alternate between Ghana and the US

[Dannii]

I've just come home from walking my dog on the mountains behind my house but my head was in Hogwarts <3

[Jamie]

I started in a Graveyard, then paused and moved back in time to Elizabethan England. Now I am about to face a madman in a place I know not.

All while sitting at my desk or couch here in California :)

[Joi]

I'm sitting in a chair in my dorm common room. I went to a small town in Kansas.

[Nadia]

I'm traveling across America with America's Most Haunted: The Secrets of Famous Paranormal Places all the way from Portugal :)

[Ritika]

Currently on my bed, travelling to Red London!

[N.]

I'm reading in an attic on a house in the middle of a big city in Canada, but my book has taken me to an isolated house in the countryside of Kent, England.

[Pachy]

I'm in Spain but my book is taking me to England, where i hope to really travel next year!

[Jade]

I started at 10pm here in Australia, in my bed with my two doggies cuddled up next to me :)

[James Dweck]

I'm in the US at the moment. About to start reading, so not sure where my book is going to take me!

[Andrea]

I am relaxing with my book just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While my book whisks me away to France at times, it also brings me back to the Philadelphia of olden times as well as many other historical American locations.

[Kate]

I'm in my lazyboy in northern California while my mind takes me to a made up world in Queen of Shadows

[Book Bunny]

I'm physically in Finland but a couple of minutes ago I was in Fairyland (I Hate Fairyland vol 1).

[Emma]

I'm in Australia, but I just travelled to the Middle Kingdom of 14th century Ireland

[Jana]

I woke up this morning in Wisconsin, but Anthony Bourdain's Hungry Ghosts took me to Japan before breakfast!

[Méliane]

I'm in Quebec but The Kiss Quotient brought me to Silicon Valley

[[deleted user]]

I'm in 1970's Colorado with the audiobook Black Klansman: Race, Hate, and the Undercover Investigation of a Lifetime.

[Susan]

From Maryland to Washington, D.C. where my book is set is not so far physically, but this is the only way I know to time travel from 2018 to 1880!

[Camilla]

I'm physically in Bruxelles, Belgium, but my book is taking me to Victorian England and on a tour through Europe!

[Dallas]

I'm sitting in my armchair in Atlanta, but according to my ears, I'm at a poetry slam in Harlem, trying to recapture my passion after my hellishly Catholic mother burned all my poems.

[Jennifer]

I'm at my dining table in Wisconsin, but my book has taken me to the 1880s in Whitechapel, England and the beginning of Jack the Ripper's terror!

[Virginia]

I'm in Atlanta, GA, and Invisible Man is taking me to 1930s NYC and Harlem. I've been listening to this audiobook on and off for awhile. I won't finish it today, but I'm making progress!

[Julie]

I'm in Denmark but just visited Stratford-On-Avon in the company of Washington Irving :-) Next I'm going off to USA with Robert Penn Warren

[Kerry]

I am reading in my living room on the east coast of USA but my book is taking me into the history of Scotland by Andrew Fisher.

[Abbey]

I'm in a hotel room in Kansas City, but I just left Florida by way of Merci Suárez Changes Gears!

[Amy]

I'm in Tennessee, but my book is taking me to Caraval. ;-D

[Sarah]

I am reading from my couch in Texas, USA. I'm originally from Milwaukee, WI (Go Brewers!) and participated in my first readathon while living in Lucca, Italy. So yes...I love travel. My current book has me traveling to a fictional land called Drieden, which I imagine is near England/Scotland.

[Alix]

I'm moving between Oz and the Czech Republic. (My literal bottom is sitting in bed in White Cloud, MI, US.)

[Courtney]

I’m in Bali and my book took me to North Jersey, USA

[febriani]

I'm in Tangerang, Indonesia. My current read's setting is perhaps in France, the same as where the author wrote it. Identity by Milan Kundera.

[Elizabeth]

I'm reading from Massachusetts. My current book has me traveling to 1950's Des Moines, Iowa.

[Lee]

I am on the road between Jonesboro and Batesville, Arkansas. We are heading to see my grandma so she can keep my son and wife company while I hide out and read. I’m listening to King’s Cage while I drive.

[Susy]

I'm on my sofa in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, travelling to the US together with the American Gods.

[Cora]

My book took me to a magical library, where those that go in don't always come out in one piece. Max's book took him to outer space.

[Merry]

I missed being on time for this hourly question because I was just heading out the door to head into town to run some errands - with "into town" being in southern Germany. I'm currently in a coffee shop and my book (Claudia Rankine's Citizen) is taking me to the US.

[Ann A]

I've been reading in bed (in Utah), and my book Between the World and Me has taken me to growing up in Baltimore.

[Vicki Willis]

I was in my chair, reading The Window which placed me at Fenway Park in Boston.

[Dana]

On my couch in Canada, listening to The Rules of Magic in NYC & Salem/MA

[Katie]

I'm cozy on my couch in Santa Clara CA and my book The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter has taken me to 1838 Northumberland England and 1938 Newport Rhode Island.

[SadieReadsAgain]

Physically, I'm in Scotland. Near Loch Lomond.

My books today are mainly taking me to the US. That wasn't intentional, as I much prefer to travel around my own country or to places very different from where I live. I've been to the US and all over the UK this year, but also lots of other destinations like Iran, Afghanistan, China, Australia, Ireland, even another planet and cyberspace (both called Oasis...).

[Angie]

I just had a visit to Fabletown! Or, really the Farm owned by Fabletown and other places in NY. :)
