A new weekly theme here on Bookworms and Tea Lovers to document my fictional travels. For my Book Around the World I have a list of specific books I want to read, one for each country, based on setting. But of course I read much more than just those books. So this weekly theme will follow me on my fictional travels of all the books I read. So, where do my books take me this week?
I’m playing a little bit of catch-up this week, as I’ll be talking about all books I read since the year began. At the start of 2012 I was in Washington, D.C. with Flowerbed of State by Dorothy St. James. I stayed there with my next book Affairs of Steak by Julie Hyzy.
And just yesterday I finished my visit to the Balkan with The Tiger’s Wife by Tea Obreht. There are no further specifics of where in the Balkan this takes place and the place names that are mentioned are invented. Still, this book has a very good sense of place – some reviewers even place it in Yugoslavia, though I wouldn’t go that far.
My current reading has me traveling various places in the USA, not Washington D.C. this time, and also Iceland. But more on that next time!
