[Sandra]

Antarctica The worst journey in the world.

[Nadine in NY]

Sandra wrote: "Antarctica The worst journey in the world."

Parts of The Obelisk Gate take place in Antarctica too! I read it for this challenge, but didn't mention it since I don't see Antarctica on your map. But if you're adding it ... here's another book!!

[Sandra]

The Obelisk Gate doesn’t take place on Earth. I suggested outer space be added and non-Earth planets should too!!! Great book (and trilogy).

[Nadine in NY]

Interesting. I completely read that series as being a far-future dystopian set on Earth.

[Milena]

Nadine wrote: "Interesting. I completely read that series as being a far-future dystopian set on Earth."

Me too!

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Palestine - Salt Houses (set in Mediterranean area -- There were a few settings but this was the main one)

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Wizard of Oz would be a great one for the children's classic! I've read it already so I can't use it, but I recommend!

[Lizzy]

I think I saw that Kathy was reading Wizard of Oz, so that pesky Kansas should be taken care of soon. Wouldn’t you know that I saw a WoO prequel on sale today as well.

[Kathy]

Yes, I'm nearing half way through The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

[Nadine in NY]

Kathy wrote: "Yes, I'm nearing half way through The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"

phew! I hate seeing that one gray splotch right in the middle of the US! :-)

[Kathy]

Finished The Wonderful Wizard of Oz so Kansas can be marked off!

Too funny - I am incorrect, you are correct. Duh - it is called The Broken EARTH trilogy. I am the one that was off all along. Ha! Thanks for setting me straight.
