Goodreads Choice Awards Book Club discussion

I was wondering where in the world you all live? How many different countries are we from?! I live in Mississauga, Ontario and I'm from the UK.

I live in Western Australia and am Australian (Aussie for short) born and bred.

Hi
I'm from Pacifica, California - just south of San Francisco. I enjoy this area & my view of the Pacific Ocean.

I'm from Egypt..

Hmmm...maybe this is going to end up as a list of all the places I want to go!! I best get saving!

Boston, Mass. USA

Los Angeles, but family is from the Philippines :)

I live in Phoenix az but am originally from Orange County New York on the Hudson River

I'm from Poland, and live in Warsaw (capital city) :)

Im from INDIA, and residing in Bangalore(India)

I'm from the Philippines, Manila :-).

York, Yorkshire, England

I live in Paris, France but I come from the south east: aix-en-provence...

from Hong Kong, well.. part of China

From San Francisco, CA, grew up north in Sonoma county's wine country, currently living in Prague, Czech Republic.

I'm apparently the only one living in a boring place!!!!

LOL, it probably isn't boring to someone else Chris?

So where is it?

a small bitter little town, called Indian Head, Saskatchewan.... 45 minutes from the capital city. I also have a farm in the middle of... a wheat field... I am definitely willing to trade either places with someone... lol

I would gladly trade with you :), although perheps not for a life time. We all need a change from time to time :)

I live in Auburn, NY - my children would call it a "boring place" but I'm a history nut, love old things (including people). Auburn is rich in history, being the home of Senator William Seward and Harriet Tubman - just a couple names to drop LOL. The city is kind of small town now, but it was quite a hub at one time. I love it!

I live in Sussex County, New Jersey....much prefer to be in New England or out West

St Louis, Mo

I live in High River AB Canada, a small town just south of Calgary, the home of the Calgary Stampede and the jumping off place to Banff and all the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Our view to the west is of the Rockies and it is beautiful!

good ol Indiana. USA

Manhattan, KS, USA.

Philippines.

Small cold city - once a huge prehistoric swamp - called Bandung. It's on West Java, Indonesia. Yes, those group of islands on the bottom right corner of the world map.

New York USA

Mount Annan in Camden Sydney NSW Australia ! We are known for our beautiful botanic garden

I was born in Holland, yes Holland, Netherlands. North Holland to be precise. Alkmaar, the city, has a very old cheese market where they used to weigh the cheese and sell it to retailers. Now the ceremony using a kind of barrow with shoulder harness is just a tourist thing. You can see canals and "grachten" (smaller canals within the city) and "singels" (which used to be a moat around the city). You can take a tour boat on the grachten but be sure you duck your head when you come to a low bridge. We moved to Grand Rapids MI, where most of my family still lives, but I live in Canada now. So I'm multicultural--my outlook is more European than not.

Tres chic. Paris est la cite la plus mondiale et congeniale du monde. Sauf les garcons dans les restaurants, qui ne veulent pas travailler beaucoup. Et la presence de steak-frite partout.

Provence. How would anyone want to move away from the enchantment there? You wd have to choose Paris or perhaps Dijon.

Just reading a book set in Sanfran, with Kate Martinelli as a detective (Laurie King). I wonder how accurate her place descriptions are.
Do you like Praha? My sister was there and said it was
old but too old, and kind of depressing.

I am from Yemen but living in Kenya :3

Seattle, Washington. Not too much of a coffee addict.

From Los Angeles but currently live in Washington, DC
