Do you like to read books that set in a certain city, state, or country?
I love to read books that are set in Maine. I've never been to Maine, but I REALLY want to vacation there someday. So, anytime I discover a book is set there, it makes me want to read it that much more. Books like Not My Daughter, The Secret of Joy, and Eternal on the Water are a few that come to mind that are set in Maine. Can you recommend any others?
I also love reading books set in coastal North Carolina (i.e. Nicholas Sparks). We have vacationed to the Outer Banks every year for the last 17 years and I just love it there. I'm not a big "lay on the beach" girl, but I love the sound of the ocean and waves crashing on the shore. I love the feel of the cool sand on my feet in the evening and watching the moon's light reflecting off the water. But, I digress...
Another place that is my dream destination is Ireland. I haven't read too many books that are set there, so if you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them!
What are your favorite settings in books? What location would you love to visit?
I actually just had an idea! Would anyone be interested in a "Traveling Through Tuesday" meme where we would spotlight the setting of the book we are currently reading?
