It's always fun to see where people go in their books. Reprieve had a lot of settings. You could also add Washington, DC, and Thailand.

>2 sturlington: I added Washington D.C. and Thailand to the travels for Reprieve. Thank you for letting me know.

I'm pretty certain the setting for The Bluest Eye is Lorain, Ohio.

>4 threadnsong: Yes, it is. I found it.

I just left Sweden!
