Book Places I Would Love To Visit

“Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring book friends together.” -That Artsy Reader Girl

This week’s theme:  

Books Set In a Place I’d Love to Visit (real places or fictional)

I remixed this one a bit and made it places I wanted to visit. I am only doing this because I totally messed up the theme haha.

This theme isn’t totally new; here is a link to another TTT where we did book places I want to live. A lot of these answers in this last post are still true, but I wanted to change it up a bit. As you can see, some are similar and some aren’t.

empire state building new york, a famous spot for many book locations

  • New York- That is always in my top ten list with this subject. I was just there and of course, I want to go back.
  • Doon from the Doon series– I have always wanted to visit Scotland and a mystical kingdom that comes only once in a while? Uh yes!
  • Hogwarts- While the author is crap, the world of Harry Potter has always held a special place in my heart and I have dreamed of getting my letter since I was a kid.
  • London- I mean who doesn’t want to visit London.
  • Austermeer– A place where books are magic? I love that. I want to go there.
  • Mount Olympus-whether the one from Lore Olympus or Percy Jackson I just want to go there.
  • Erilea- Again author might be problematic but her character Aelin showed me what being a strong unapologetic female really was. I want to meet her.
  • Gail Carriger’s Universe– I would love to be in London with vampires and werewolves running amuck of the place.
  • The Midnight Library– While yes I know that means I will be dead, it would be cool to see the other versions of my life I could have gone with
