Once Upon a Time in Hollywood starring [famous people]. Something about something in the 1970s. I think.
Downtown Abbey: the motion picture starring [actors]. Film version of a popular TV show. I finally watched the film version of Miami Vice a few months ago. It was OK. I recall reading that Edward James Olmos was asked to take a role in the film and his rejection response was done as a video of him silently staring into the camera. I never found verification of this.
Star Trek Discovery: season two starring [humans and aliens]. 14 episodes from a TV show from a subscription channel.
The Orville: the complete second season starring [more people and aliens]. What is this anyway? A Star Trek ripoff with comedy? I'm not sure.

Tell Me No Lies by Shelley Noble. "A Lady Dunbridge Mystery". The cover has illustrations of hot air balloons and people wearing hats.

The Paris Seamstress by Natasha Lester. Wait a minute... which one of these books was first? A-Ha! It's this one! The author bio in this novel has more information than the other book. Same author photo though. Perth, by the way, was a fantastic city when I got to spend a semester of school there. That was 27 years ago though, so I don't know what the place is like now.
Sherlock Holmes and the Christmas Demon by James Lovegrove. I suppose this is a mystery. Let's skip straight to the author photo... Nuts! There isn't one. Let's check online... it is black and white and small.
Girl: a novel by Edna O'Brien. Girl is kidnapped by Boko Haram. O'Brien lives in London. I've never been there but sure have seen a lot of photos.

Fiction
Curious Toys by Elizabeth Hand. Hand has won a lot of literary awards. But, has she won the Ice Cream Eating Championship at Knickerbocker Days in Lake Mills?
Nothing More Dangerous by Allen Eskens. "Eskens lives ... in outstate Minnesota." Outstate? What the heck does that mean? Outside the Twin Cities? Outside any city over 40,000 people?
The House of Brides by Jane Cockram. This woman's last name is completely covered by library labels all over the outside of the book. Jane Cockram just sounds English but she is from Australia.

That's about 830,000 square miles (using Daft Logic area calculator).
