Hello friends!  It's book chat Thursday!  As many of you know, I'm currently in transit.  This week, we are traveling our way up to Baltimore where we will fly out of to Germany.  Are you sick of hearing about my move to Germany yet?  Too bad.  It's going to be like this for a while now.  The theme of the month seems to be this move, so I decided to make today's book chat a similar theme.

First, I have to introduce our book chat co-host!  Seema is adorably sweet and I'm so glad that she asked to co-host.  Please go see her cute blog and add her to your blog roll.





As for today's topic, I want to know your favorite novels set in Germany.  I love books with real cities as the settings.  I love romanticized cities.  Prague, Barcelona, Paris.  There is magic in old cities and they make for excellent settings.  I love books with settings that are practically characters.

Here are my favorite...



The chilling, romantic city of Barcelona made the perfect setting for this story.



























The Scottish landscape was nearly as sexy as young Jamie Fraser.















I would love to follow in Robert Langdon's footsteps in this novel.  That's what I love about Dan Brown's novels.  He really brings the setting to the forefront of the story.


















This is where my obsession with Ireland all began.











Sadly, I don't really have any good German settings.  I have plenty of Holocaust novels that were set in Germany, and I guess the Book Thief would count, but I don't really count those.  I'd like to read a story set in Germany that makes the country look, you know, good.

Brownie points to the book chatter who can find me a good Germany-set novel that isn't about the Holocaust.
