T10T: Books Set in Places on my Bucket List

     

Welcome back to Top 10 Tuesday, following the list from That Artsy Reader Girl! I've been pretty busy lately, so I am happy for an easy prompt

This week's prompt is..... books set in places on my bucket list


These are in no particular order

  1. Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood (Toronto, Canada)
  2. The Unhoneymooners by Chirstina Lauren (Cancun, Mexico)
  3. Someday in Paris by Olivia Lara (Paris, France)
  4. The Map of Love by Ahdaf Soueif (Cairo, Egypt)
  5. The Sword And The Scimitar by David Ball (Malta)
  6. Garnethill by Denise Mina (Glasgow, Scotland)
  7. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides (Detroit, USA)
  8. Heidi by Johanna Spyri (Switzerland)
  9. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty (Sydney, Australia)
  10. Omeros by Derek Walcott (St. Lucia)
There are so many gorgeous and fascinating places I hope to experience someday. Do we have any in common?

Here it all is in a pretty lil' graphic as always



While I may not be able to physically travel to any of these any time soon, I can at least go there through books.

    1. I feel like it is absolutely one of the big place to want to visit in general. I really want access to the patisseries there myself

  3. Living in North America (Canada), I've visited many places in Canada and the US. I want to visit Paris, Australia, Scotland (again), and Malta. I just spent 10 weeks in Cancun (for the winter) and highly recommend it. Nice list.
