This week the topic is: Top Ten Settings I'd Like To See More Of
This is a good but a tough question because I rarely think about setting when I'm picking out a book to read.
1. I think the first one has to be Wisconsin. I always get a little bit excited when authors mention the place I live in their books - when I'm able to recognize or say 'hey! I've been there too!' And being in the midwest, we kind of get lost in the Chicago bubble!
2. Paris, France - Anna and the French Kiss, The Revenant Series... both books I love and both set in the lovely city of Paris. Come on... it can be romantic and plus, I've never been there, so living vicariously and all that.
3. Summer camp type place - I don't think I've ever read a book where the story takes place at a summer camp. Maybe I've missed what's out there?
4. Ireland! - I visited there once and I can just imagine the amazing backdrop it could make for an incredible story.
5. London - I want to go, therefore I should read stories that are set there right?
7. College! - I'm a sucker for a good New Adult book - college age story and I need some good ones!!!
8. The Country or a rural setting - I'm not talking straight up cowboys... instead, something not in a major city.
9. Restaurants - I'd love to see something written around the restaurant industry... chefs, waitstaff, students... I want it!
10. Airport/Airplane - There is so much potential with this setting!
What kind of settings would you like to see more of?
Awesome post!
Love the Wisconsin idea - lived there when I was younger & have never read a book with the setting in Wi.
Ireland looks beautiful - I've been wanting to go ever since watching p.s. I love you.
Country /rural = cowboys, so Yes please (:
& love love love airport setting!!
I always pick a book with a London setting! Well, actually England in general and of course Scotland. Also, Maine & Alaska are 2 of my favs. If I ever found a Cincinnati setting I'd probably adopt the author hahaha
I enjoy B&B locales....hmmmm...I know of a fic like that lol!! Hotels always get me since I spent much of my life working in them.
Airports are awesome as well, but anything re: travel is a top pick for me.
Lastly, I have to say that a good bookstore or library does me in, even if it is a fairly common setting.
