Listmania: Young adult novels by country

Similarly to my young adult state list, I also started a list of young adult novels located outside the United States. Again, if you would like anything added, please leave a comment or contact me via Goodreads, twitter, or email.


*A note abour organization: Since I do have the state list, novels located in the US will be left off the country list, unless the setting moves to a location out of the US. Ex. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series takes place in the United States, Mexico and Turkey. Just like with the state list, any novel set in two countries will be placed under each country AND a category at the bottom of the list titled Road Trip.

*Note 2:  As much as I enjoy creativity and imagination, I have not included made up countries such as Genovia and Schwerinborg. Alagasia, Middle Earth, the Seven Kingdoms/The Graceling Realm, the Dells, and other awesome yet imagined countries/worlds are not on this list; however, books such as Harry Potter, which are located in actual countries are included. Pretty sure you don't exactly need a list to tell you which books go to each location I just named. A list would defeat the awesomeness of you knowing all that.
