The Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen is partially set in 1830's London, it flicks between that time period and the present and is a cracking good read if I say so myself

Ahaha, me too! Are you my Irish twin? :D

There seems to be 2 different spellings, some have Pajamas and other Pyjamas, my book has the Pyjamas spelling, but any amazon have it listed as Pajamas, I'm guessing that's a difference between UK and American english?

Oo! Thanks for the reminder!

Yeah, that's a great film, in fact I might watch it now!

Well you can make the thread if you want and i'll just help you fill it in as much as we can and then we can just add any contributions the others have, and as for finding them, all i've done so far is go through my tbr pile, google/wiki the authors to see their country of birth and then for the foreign ones Ernie suggested this which is fantastic, if you google/wiki the authors again then you can see their countries

How about like this: 1. Afghanistan - A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini, next book etc etc 2. Albania - Chronical in Stone - Ismail Kadare, next book etc etc 3. Algeria - The Attack - Yasmina Khadra, next book etc etc So just a list after the bolded country? Then people can leave a comment saying, which book and country and it can easily be added in, although for countries such as US, UK, Ireland etc in which there are thousands of choices maybe just put like 5 or something and people can search them out themselves if they want something else

I think I'm going to do it by the country they were born in, makes it a little easier for me But yeah I agree, buying them will be the hardest part but I'm going through my tbr pile, if I can fill some in with books I've already bought then it's going to be a little cheaper! lol

Do you know of ReadItSwapIt? I'm not sure if you part with books when you're done, but if you have books that you didn't really like, or wont read again, then it might be worth swapping them out for something else you'd like

Ahh yes, I know that only too well

Just randomly, I'm assuming is has to be the country the author was born in? Rather than the language it's released in etc? As I have an author that was born in Peru, has Chilean parents and describes herself as Chilean and publishes in spanish? So I think that would count for Peru? But I agree, we should start a thread and we can add books from each country, it could be a great resource if looking to read something new

Is there none on amazon?

That sounds really interesting

Well in some of the bigger countries that translate lots into english, it wouldn't be too hard to find 3 seperate books to read, but in the smaller ones we may have to read the same ones, but some countries rarely print into english lol

Yeah that's not a bad idea!

I'm quite lucky that my BF is so used to my crazy little obsession phases that he just ignores them now though I've loved vamps for like 7 or 8 years now <3

Oh ty! That's great!

No problem It's a great idea! And I like YA books too, though for some reason people who don't read that see someone who is above 17 reading them say they are "childrens" books (my BF included) and it drives me bonkers! I find they are just as enjoyable if not more so in some cases as "adult" books, and there are books like Harry Potter/Twilight that are promoted as YA books but I think they are aimed at adults just as much

Ohh! I love Underworld and will definately want to watch Rise of the Lycans I do believe The Spirit is done in the same style as Sin City, as in all black and white with splashes of red here and there. Not sure what the storyline is though

Yeah I think I might buy it, I doubt it's very expensive, and I kind of have a love affair going with vamps

The read all the countries one does sound very intriguing, I might give that one a go!

Me either, I've never heard of this series before I came to this forum
