A book set on every continent

[Stina]

Curses upon Goodreads for putting this in one of their summer challenges. I guess you could always read a geography textbook. The only fiction work I know of that does this is Space Opera, so that's what's on my TBR.

Wait wait wait wait, hold up! Does 17776: What football will look like in the future do this? Hmmm....maybe I can take this off the list!

This one confused me -- I wasn't sure if it meant 6/7 books total, one on each continent, or one book that covers every continent.

There was a great deal of heated discussion along those lines that summer! And then Goodreads quit posting summer challenges altogether. I wonder if this is at least partly why. This, and the significant push-back from the bulk of the Southern Hemisphere because Goodreads called it a summer challenge during their winter.

If you want to spread this prompt out over multiple books, I certainly wouldn't fault you for it. You can get off to a decent start with Where'd You Go, Bernadette if you haven't already read that one.

I have always pondered the proper placement of Great Britain on these things -- not least because the first time I counted it as part of Europe, I was reproved by a Brit. And now, with Brexit complete, I am even more uncertain.
