The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho is another of my TBR books that needs to be moved up.
Fits here nicely.

I'm reading Shalimar the Clown by Salman Rushdie, which so far has action in Kashmir, Los Angeles and Strasbourg... I will share my review! I think I will read more than one book that fits this challenge...

Just finished The Duke of Shadows by Meredith Duran. Part one takes place in India and part two is in England. :D

I read this over the weekend and adored it to the tune of a full 5 stars -- so funny, and it's on sale for $1.99 right now. It's set in mostly in Australia with a trip to New York City toward the end.

Here's my review of Shalimar the Clown... I haven't made much reference to place in this one, but I may read more relevant books and post them here too

It's a great review as well! Reminds me this book has been on my own TBR list way too long ... especially given that I rather like Rushdie's writing (and tremendously respect his political and social stance).

Thanks! = D I prefer it to his other work so... seems to have honed his craft even more = )
