Janell | 57 comments I'm from North Carolina, and I'm sorry I waited until book #44 to enter my locations.

So far this year:
Australia: Victoria - Flying Too High
Canada: Ontario Indian Horse
France: Paris - Dreadful Company
Greece - The Gentleman’s Guide to Getting Lucky

UK: England: London - The Amulet of Samarkand; The Right Sort of Man; How to Stop Time; Strange Practice
UK: England: Oxfordshire - The Winter Siege; La Belle Sauvage
UK: England: Suffolk - The Crime at Black Dudley
All over the world - Chasing Venus: The Race to Measure the Heavens (which is too bad, because there are some major chunks in some pretty obscure locations).
And several with fictional locations (Discworld, Hogwarts, Miraji, etc.).
Although Japanese Cooking Made Simple: A Japanese Cookbook with Authentic Recipes for Ramen, Bento, Sushi & More kind of feels like it could be listed for Japan, it's really more about people outside of Japan cooking Japanese food, and it doesn't really have a narrative location, so I don't think I should include it.
