message 301: by Abby (new)

Abby | 270 comments It's 1984 and I'm in Oceania writing in a diary about Big Brother, the Thought Police, and the Party. It's a little scary tbh


message 302: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15864 comments I'm in Chile, and I'm also learning about nearly everything, but that's just all over the place.

Kristie | 18703 comments I've been at Cambridge University in England where two college girls have been murdered.

I'm heading to Malibu, California in August of 1983 where my husband and I just split up and I need to prepare for our big annual party tonight. Also, in the 1950s when my parents met and just got married.

Sharon Hopper | 2314 comments I am in the Snowdonia mountains investigating a murder at a religious retreat.

I am also along with Jane Goodall as she travels touring.


message 306: by Margo (new)

Margo | 11429 comments I'm in a temple in Ancient Greece, I've just been raped by Poseidon and, because it happened in her temple, Athena has turned my hair into snakes. So much for female solidarity! I think I'll turn into a monster and, to be honest, no-one can blame 👎


message 307: by Esther (new)

Esther (nyctale) | 5161 comments My eyes are in London. I have been ask to help in the investigation of Jack the ripper (still not name this way) after its third murder. I am not helping much...

My ears are in an alternate Cairo, investigation a strange murder. I am currently arguing with an annoying Djinn.


message 308: by Rusalka, Moderator (new)

Rusalka (rusalkii) | 19159 comments I'm finishing up the last Toppler read which is flitting between southern Laos and a refugee camp in northern Thailand.

Once I finish up there I'll head back to Algiers, Algeria where there is an Islamic revolution brewing.


message 309: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 18703 comments I never made it to Malibu today. I think I'll try to give it a brief visit before I fall asleep. I got stuck in Cambridge where things are picking up.


message 310: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm in Lancashire, thinking about past cases where children were buried alive in caskets!


message 311: by Marnie (new)

Marnie (marnie19) | 3136 comments I am not sure who or where I am but I’m trying to figure it out. I think I’m in space. Omg I’m in space!!


message 312: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments My ears are currently in Chile with Victor and Rosen.

My eyes will soon be back in Russia. I want to know what happened to Leo and Raisa after they were put on the train.


message 313: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 58953 comments I'm in the middle ages. Can that be a place since I time-travelled there? I'm keeping a journal of my experiences there.

I'm also in Malaysia looking for a finger. Can someone point the way?


message 314: by Amanda (new)

I'm also in 1800's Germany, mourning the loss of my husband.


message 315: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Hopper | 2314 comments I am in a small village in Cornwall and an outsider. I am trying to figure out what these weird things called hexes are doing on all the doors.

I am also still in the jungles of Africa with Jane Goodall as she remembers her journey so far.


message 316: by Abby (new)

Abby | 270 comments I'm in Illyria pretending to be a eunuch so that I can work for the Duke until I'm ready to reveal my true identity. I've gotten myself caught in the world's most confusing love triangle ever.

message 319: by Esther (last edited Jun 20, 2021 01:27PM) (new)

Esther (nyctale) | 5161 comments My eyes are in a hotel in an island in the middle of nowhere BC. Who wrote these words on the window. Is it really Paul?

My ears are 13 yo and somewhere in 1912 England. I just learned of a strange disease that affects my family. My father says I should be ok if I follow the rules.


message 320: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 18703 comments I was just in Maine where I was an attorney representing a man who was charged with a double homicide. I watched him rescue a dog that was being abused and just can’t believe he’d be capable of that, so my wife and our team investigated.


message 321: by Jackie (new)

Jackie | 290 comments I'm in a tour group in Atlanta. We are at the Museum of Gone with the Wind. They have reenactments of scenes and the staff are dressed in the appropriate costumes. Unfortunately, there has been a murder and all of us are being questioned. People are also reporting items that are missing so there is a thief among us.


message 322: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 18703 comments I’m in Boston where my friend is missing and I’m investigating. Also, my father is an police investigator and has to go to court for an incident that happened at work where someone was injured.


message 323: by Marnie (new)

Marnie (marnie19) | 3136 comments I am dead but still hanging around to watch how my people are dealing with that fact.

Kristie | 18703 comments Marnie wrote: "I am dead but still hanging around to watch how my people are dealing with that fact."

If you just died in a snowy car crash, then I think I know where you are and it's a really good book. I was just there recently.


message 325: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 18703 comments I've just moved into a gated community (I think in the UK) and I'm getting to know my neighbors.

I'm also heading back to Malibu. I seem to keep leaving this place for other destinations, but I'm hoping to see what there is to see here soon.


message 326: by Marnie (new)

Marnie (marnie19) | 3136 comments I was hit by a car while out for a jog. It’s summertime here so we must be thinking of two different books.

Margo | 11429 comments I'm in hollywood and my dog is a space alian!

Yup, different book, similar theme. Hope yours is excellent too.


message 329: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 58953 comments I just spent Christmas in 1320, and it's made me homesick for lights and music.

I'm also in Boston, preparing to lead an expedition to the frozen north. Some of us won't be coming back.


message 330: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Hopper | 2314 comments I am in a different world. I just found out I am a princess and the queen, my aunt, is trying to kill me. But I have some major gifts so we shall just see about that!

Esther (nyctale) | 5161 comments I am all over today.

-I am in my real life turf. I am a biologist working by the St-Laurent river and really annoyed at the state of the ecosystem.

-I am also in Spain slowly figuring out my friend past story.


message 332: by Janice, Moderator (last edited Jul 04, 2021 06:55AM) (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 58953 comments I'm in Malibu at a party to end all parties. It's 2:00 in the morning.

I'm also just getting off the train in Brighton. I think it's the beginning of a journey.


message 333: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Hopper | 2314 comments I am San Bernardino County helping investigate the many deaths of a serial killer. I have a “personal� connection.


message 334: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15864 comments I just left Lagos. Nigeria, where I covered up my sister's serial killing.

Now I'm heading to a new place. According to the blurb, it's an alternate universe, a place vaguely reminiscent of 19th-century England.


message 335: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 18703 comments I am in the Mojave Desert where I'm trying to help locate the bodies of the women that my father murdered.

I'm also in Malibu getting ready for the party Janice is currently attending. (We are apparently in different time zones. lol)

I am in the same two places Kristie!


message 337: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 58953 comments I just arrived at the house my father owns in France. I'm going to fix it up and sell it. I don't know, there are mushrooms growing in one of the bedrooms. I think it's going to take a lot of work to renovate this.

I'm also in Louisiana, rummaging through another old house. This one has a great library that has some gems in it that might reveal some secrets from the past.


message 338: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 18703 comments I'm in Nevada. I just rescued 7 puppies that were thrown into the river in a sack. The shelter won't take them and I don't have the kind of home that I can bring them back to. I'm not sure what to do with them. That old cabin up in the woods is abandoned, isn't it...?

I'm not sure where else I'm going today.


message 339: by Ayacchi (new)

Ayacchi | 1673 comments I was going to say that I could adopt one if you want Kristie, but then, I just moved out of my house in Bag End and in my way to Bucklebury. Just now, I saw a huge man in black robe riding a horse, and having a dog with me would only tell my hiding place.


message 340: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments I am in London seeking an ABC serial killer.


message 341: by Jackie (new)

Jackie | 290 comments I'm in Massachusetts, in multiple places, from boarding schools to the family compound in Hyannis Port. I'm the youngest child and my mother always writes little notes for ways to improve myself.


message 342: by Amanda (new)

Amanda | 1732 comments I'm in Birkenau in 1942, tattooing numbers on my fellow prisoners.

I'm also in Iran in the 1970's, trying to figure out what to do now that my boyfriend has been arrested.

Definitely not good timing fo you to get a puppy!


message 344: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 18703 comments I decided to visit British Columbia. My father recently passed away and I've gone to live with my aunt and her new husband. He's a jerk who likes to intimidate people. Since the story opened with me being dead, I feel like things might not go well for me...


message 345: by Marnie (new)

Marnie (marnie19) | 3136 comments I’m in Nigeria cleaning up my sister’s mess.


message 346: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 58953 comments I'm in the Rain Wilds getting reacquainted with Paragon, Althea, and Brashen. It was rather shocking to meet a ship whose masthead is an exact replica of my face.

I'm also in Nigeria cleaning up after my sister's murder.


message 347: by Margo (new)

Margo | 11429 comments I'm in the Rain Wilds with Janice.
