This week's theme is a fun one: BOOKS SET IN PLACES ON MY BUCKET LIST.
The hardest part for me was narrowing my list down to just 10 titles because there are SO many places in the world I want to visit someday. But here are my top 10:
1. A Thousand Days in Venice by Malena de Blasi
2. A Street in Marrakech by Elizabeth Warnock Fernea
3. Easter Island by Jennifer Vanderbes
4. The Dubrovnik Book Club by Eva Glyn
5. A Castaway in Cornwall by Julie Klassen
6. The Orkney Scroll by Lyn Hamilton
7. The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies
(Wales is high on my bucket list, but I couldn't find any good book titles with the word Wales in them, so I had to go with Welsh instead.)
8. The Highgate Cemetery Murder by Irina Shapiro
9. Cry of the Kalahari by Mark & Delia Owens
10. The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris by Daisy Wood
(I've actually already been to Paris, but I really want to go back, so that's why it's still on my bucket list.)
Happy Reading!
I hope you're able to visit some of these places. I've been to Venice and Dubrovnik and both are beautiful cities!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful cities! I really hope to visit both someday.
DeleteThis is an ambitious bucket list! I'd love to visit Venice someday😁
ReplyDeleteIt's such a cool-looking city. And with such history. I hope we both get there someday.
DeleteBunch of those are on my list, too! Hope you get to Wales, it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteWales is high on my list! I'd love to do a walking tour, and see all the castles, and visit Hay-on-Wye!
DeleteWhat a great list! I'd love to go to Venice one of these days! :D
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be cool?
DeleteI want to visit Easter Island too! I didn't know which book to add to my TTT post that would be a good fit for Easter Island.
ReplyDeleteI almost did The Moai Murders by Lyn Hamilton because that's set there, too, but then went with the Easter Island book instead.
DeleteThat's quite a wonderful list and I hope you make it to all of those places!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! :D
DeleteI’d love to visit Easter island someday!
ReplyDeleteIt's such an amazing place. I really want to go there!
DeleteWhat fabulous choices, Lark. I hope you get to all these places.

Thank you! I hope so, too. :D
DeleteI've been to Venice and Paris but not to any of the other places listed. Hope you get to visit them and get back to Paris! :)
ReplyDeleteParis is the best. I'd go back in a heartbeat. :D
DeleteA very interesting list, Lark. I also had a hard time narrowing it down. Oooo, Easter Island would be a great place to visit. I hope you get to visit some of these places.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really hope I can, too. Someday.
DeleteI would happily go to any of these places (including return trips to Venice and Paris, where I've been but so long ago that I'd love to go back). Great list!
ReplyDelete:D You had a great list of places on your TTT this week, too. Scotland is a country I'd happily revisit. :D
DeleteWales! Orkney! Ack dreams
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteScotland would be the only place I'd want to go.
ReplyDeleteScotland is amazing! I got to go to Edinburgh once and I loved it. I would go back in a heartbeat. And there are so many other places in Scotland I would love to see. :D
DeleteI hope you get to visit all of these places! I'd love to travel more eventually.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to spend a year traveling around the world and seeing everything on my list...I just haven't figured out how to do that yet. ;D
DeleteCornwall is high up on my Travel list - ever since I read The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pilcher. And I would love to visit all the other places you have listed. We haven't traveled much internationally (unless you count Mexico and an assortment of Caribbean islands) but I have a list I'm working on. Great list!
ReplyDeleteIt was Pilcher's books that first made me want to go to Cornwall, too! :D
DeleteYes to Paris.

I've been to Cornwall, Wales and Paris, but that's about it. Interesting list. We all have places we still would like to see.
ReplyDeleteHere is my list:
