Augustus: The Life of Rome's First Emperor is non-fiction. As is The Shawnees and the War for America.

Do you want me to remove them, Gina?

If you're able to, then yes please! Thanks!

This is turning out to be a great list. I only wish there was a way to see why people added each book, like the specific reason that it's appropriate for the list...

Alright, I've removed both Augustus and The Shawnees and the War for America.

Devil in the White City shouldn't be on list. it is non-fiction

Removed. Ditto Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China (memoir).

Removed Isn't It Pretty To Think So?. Spam. Author is from SoCal and writes about SoCal.

Thanks for the upkeep! :)

You're welcome. :)

I have removed Good Morning, Mr. Mandela, which is a memoir. I was the flake who added it in the first place and was the only one who had voted for it, so its removal should not cause a ripple. Mea culpa.

I strongly question the addition of what appears to be about six books in the same YA series at the end of the list. I know, the ends of lists sometimes get a little bit questionable, but I thought I would mention it since this list is young. I have not read anything by Ally Carter and for all I know, perhaps each and every one of those books is set beautifully in a different, well-defined international location...but I sort of doubt it. Just sayin'.

Donna, I agree about the Ally Carter books. For some reason, I cannot delete books even though I created the list, but please go ahead and do so if you'd like. Thanks!

Wondering why futuristic dystopias and fantasy - like the Lunar Chronicles, Divergent and Percy and the Lightning Thief are included in this list about countries.
