Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!
Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.
This is wonderful. I luv to think about settings in books.
ReplyDeleteOne day in the future I'm going to come back and tell you that I have visited it to every one of those locations. Soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! As I was making my own list, I realized that I really need to expand my setting choice when reading books. :o)

I've had my eye on Travels in Siberia. Somehow I'm really drawn to cold places.
ReplyDeleteThese are all places I would like to visit. I mostly had imaginary settings on my list, or settings from a different time.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I'll have to check some of those books out! Thanks!!

Family Matters is a great book and really describes life in India well. I like your choice of Japan. Why didn't I put that on my list?
ReplyDeleteGoodness, so many different and exotic places! Japan, South Africa, and Canada especially. :) This list was a little tough for me, but I found my 10 settings, too. Thank you for sharing, Deb!
ReplyDeleteYou're setting yourself up for a round-the-world tour! Great list!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/06/top-ten-tuesday-favorite-setting.html
I've heard of some of these books, but I haven't read any of them. Just from some of the covers, the settings look interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour books make me want to travel, even if only in an armchair. My latest trip took me to Ward Island just off the city of Toronto!
ReplyDeleteI almost put Vietnam down as well. I love O'Brien's books and, even though they are violent and heartbreaking, they make me really want to visit Vietnam which, I've heard, is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! I love the titles you have showcased too!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely intrigued by the cover of Never Cry Wolf!
ReplyDeleteYou always have such wonderful, unique choices. I just picked up a copy of Travels in Siberia and I'm really looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my list here
I love the International feel to your answer!
ReplyDeleteI'd so love traveling to ANY of the aforementioned places! Seriously, Take Me Away like Natasha Beddingfield always says! Great choices - I feel bad not being there at this moment.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for stopping by the blog earlier!
Great list. So many fantastic settings I would love to visit. I loved Year in Japan.
