Top Ten Tuesday: Settings I’d Like to See More Of

I love when the setting because almost like a character in a book I’m reading. If authors can make me feel like I’m in the book and can picture where the characters live their life – that’s the perfect setting to me!

Some of these are generalized locations or while others on my list are great places I’ve been to and a few are places I’d love to visit someday!

• Country Life
  • My parents moved out to the country after we had all left the house. They live on beautiful acreage and it’s so peaceful when I visit.
• Island Life
  • I love the idea of living on an island – the sandy beaches, the sunsets, the beauty that you’d be surrounded by every day. Seeing characters living in this life would be so great.
• Small Town Life
  • I grew up in a small town – we could walk or ride our bikes to pretty much anywhere, the movie theater, the library, school, etc. Small town life includes the eccentric neighbor, nosy shop owner – everything you need for a perfect setting.
• Tiny House
  • The idea of tiny house living fascinates me – I’d love to try it for a few weeks or see a character live in a tiny house on wheels traveling around the country.
• Appalachian Trail
  • I live very close to a part of the Appalachian Trail and I know people hike the whole thing from Georgia to Maine. What an interesting fascinating location for a character to be in!
• Charleston
  • I got the chance to visit Charleston for a long weekend with some friends and just completely fell in love with its deep history, oceanfront access and I’d love to see a book set in this beautiful city.
• Chicago
  • I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Chicago. I was born in Chicago, by my parents moved before I was 2, so I don’t have any memories of this great city.
• Ireland
  • My brother’s been to Ireland twice and absolutely loved it. I’d love to see the foggy cliffs of Ireland with beautiful green grass.
• Okefenokee Swamp
  • I’ve read a few books set in the Okefenokee Swamp and this setting just fascinates me and I’d love to see more books in this area.
• San Francisco
  • I haven’t been to San Francisco yet, but it’s a city that fascinates me – being on the bay, with the fog and hills. So until I can get to San Francisco, I’ll have to read about it in books!
