The Broke and the Bookish ask us today to consider our top ten books with X setting. It’s been a long day and I still have to write a blog post for work (well, first I need to finish researching it, and then I need to write it, so I’m procrastinating by writing here, of course), so I’m stealing TBatB’s interpretation of Top Ten Books with Settings I’d Love To Visit<\/strong>, but specifying it has to be a place I haven’t visited yet:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Prince Edward Island\/Anne of Green Gables<\/em><\/strong>: Karen and I were just contemplating a trip to PEI as something we could manage, but then we looked at how much it would cost us to get there, and we decided we’d have to back-burner it for now.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. North Carolina Coast\/anything by Sarah Dessen<\/strong>: I like, but don’t love her books, but they all take place in the same (or the ones I’ve read all just seem the same?) small beach town off the Carolina coast. I’d prefer NOT to visit during hurricane season, though.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. Yorkshire\/The Secret Garden<\/em><\/strong>: I want to hear the wind howling through the moor.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. Florence\/Love and Gelato<\/em><\/strong>: I just read this one this summer (which you’ll hear about when I get to my June reviews). The area sounds lovely. Or maybe just the gelato. Hard to say…<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. Guernsey\/The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society<\/em><\/strong>: Definitely not during wartime, and probably also not immediately afterwards, but otherwise it does sound like a very nice place to visit.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. Melbourne\/Cocaine Blues<\/em><\/strong>: Okay, so I get that this may be more influenced by the imagery of the tv series, than the book itself, but still…<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  7. Yorkshire\/The Secret Garden<\/em><\/strong>: I want to hear the wind howling through the moors.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  8. The Luberon\/A Year in Provence<\/em><\/strong>: I’d prefer not to visit when the Mistral is blowing, but any other time seems like a good time to play boules or walk amongst the grape vines. (This is very nearly cheating, since I did visit Aix and Avignon in Provence because of their proximity to the book’s location. Shhh! Don’t tell Rudi that’s why I suggested them!)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  9. The North Pole\/The Polar Express<\/em><\/strong>: Wouldn’t you like to see Santa’s village, particularly on Christmas Eve? Also, I’d like to drink hot chocolate on the train.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  10. Hogwarts\/The Harry Potter series<\/strong>: Just because it doesn’t exist on any map I’ve seen doesn’t make it any less appealing. In fact, it’s probably exactly the opposite. Do you think the Knight Bus stops in the U.S.?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How about you? Where would you like to visit (that you haven’t yet), based on a book you’ve read that was set there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
