I think you could do a nearby town/city.

Well these sorts of challenges are about finding new books so how about....

Canberra

Or even a travel guild, you may even learn something new about your town.

There is also this one. Billy Connolly's World Tour of Australia. He does visit Canberra.

Ashleigh wrote: "I think that will have to do, I don't think I could find any better, even though Canberra where I live is the capital of Australia I can't think of any book other then the one I just said and that'..."

How about something like this?
/book/show/2...

There is no mentioning that it has to be your hometown today and not in the future :D

I will suffer through the one playing in my hometown because all we have there are some bad local crime books...

Me too. We only have local crime books as well

Maybe because most german books suck :D

I am going to read one on local history, the only other option is Santa is Coming to Basingstoke

So true, especially German books set in Germany lol

What's your local town?

Hey guys, I am new to the group but can never seem to say no to a challenge!

I am up for this one :)

I finished it. It was awesome, although the ending annoys me a little bit

In my comic whodunit Death in the Sydney Opera House there is a chapter set in Canberra.

Ashleigh wrote: "Yeah I agree! I wish that the group stayed together. What did you think about what happen to Clancy in the end?"

Although I did feel sorry for him, I still think he deserved a bullet to the head.

It means that one or more non-human characters are in the book, it doesn't have to be all of them

Yeah I would say at least 2 non humans are needed. Cress would count seeing as there are lunars and androids.
