I attempted to choose fantasy worlds for this week’s topic, but I quickly realized that a lot of fantasy worlds are dark and horrifying and not places I’d like to visit. So, I went with real places for this list!










Putting this list together made me realize that there are a lot of places I would love to visit but I have never read a book set in those countries! Maybe I should do one of those “Around the World” reading challenges next year!

I want to go to Hawaii with you! 😁 I love how you made this post with the views from the places you like to visit!
I would be so up for it! This places are all gorgeous! I just had to include the pictures!
The images really add to it! 😍 What eye candy. The ultimate challenge is reading a book set in a place when you’re also in that place. 😁 And I also had that same thought of how scary fantasy worlds are… But ours definitely can be too haha
I had the same thought about our world. The devil you know I guess!
Ain’t that the truth lol
Love your locales and how you’ve set this up, Kristin💜
I knew I had to include pictures of the locations!
I’ll take all the tropical locations, please!
Yes! That is my ideal vacation tbh.
I’d love to see Tobago someday!

It looks absolutely beautiful! I’ve read a few books set there and I always fall in love with the setting.
Nova Scotia is somewhere I’d love to visit!
As a Canadian, I’ve seen so little of Canada!
What a great idea – I’m also more of a fantasy reader but would definitely not want to visit somw of those places hah

I love that you added photos. It makes me want to visit everywhere. I definitely want to visit San Francisco and Tobago.
Both are high on my list. I need to read more books set in those places!!
Hawaii, Japan, Scotland, Ireland… count me in!
I agree with you on the fantasy worlds. Some are too scary!! Except Hogwarts perhaps… (Voldemort is still dead right? No resurrection the last time I checked.)
Here’s my list: https://thebookdecoder.com/2022/08/02/top-ten-tuesday-2-august-2022/
Yes!! Let’s go!
This is such a cool concept! I’ve been to a couple of places these books are set it, but not all. I’m definitely interested in reading more books that take place in them 😃
This post inspired me to make recommendation lists about books set in these places, so I’ll be sharing those soon!!
I can’t wait to see them 😃
So many of these places are on my travel wishlist, too! I’ve been to Hawaii, though (it’s lovely) and I live near San Francisco, so I’ve checked those places off the list. 🙂 I hope you get to visit some of these places soon!

Love that! I fell down a rabbit hole of looking at photos of Hawaii. It truly is stunning!
These look like the COOLEST postcards, I love them!
That’s what I was going for!
I love how you did the pic of the book with the pic of the place. Great post!
It was fun to look at photos of all of these places!
Beautiful!! I’d love to go to Ireland too! And Sweden as well. It’s beautiful there!
Ohh Sweden! I’d love to go there as well.
I’ve been to San Francisco, and Paris and I live in Hawaii. But the rest on your list are places I’d love to visit as well, especially Scotland, Ireland, Amalfi Coast and Japan.
Amazing! I’ve been close to San Francisco but never took the time to actually go there. I need to change that!
Amalfi coast and Brazil are places I’d love to go to
Stunning places! I have been to the Amalfi Coast but it was a class trip so didn’t get to spend as much time there as I would have like. It’s gorgeous though!
This is wonderful!
Thank you!
I would love to go to Japan too! I love how you paired the covers and photos. Great post! 🙂
Thank you! Japan is high on my list!
I could visit just about an CLo location and be happy, but Hawaii seems even more beautiful after reading The Unhoneymooners! And your reading challenge sounds super interesting. Great list!

True! Their books are always set in interesting places!
And they’re described so beautifully you want to go there!
Take me to Tobago with you! Lol! I love this post and the pictures accompanying the books.
Yes!! It looks so beautiful there.
San Fran, Hawaii, and Ireland are all places in my list I want to go!!
Hopefully we both get to visit those places one day!
wow your post is so cool. I love the pictures with it. I want to go to Nova Scotia so bad!
Here is my post: https://abookiesbooks.com/book-places-i-would-love-to-visit/
I need to explore more of Canada!
Nice! I’ve been to half of these places, although Japan was just in the airport. Nova Scotia is a place I definitely want to visit, not just because of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, but also because I have ancestors from there. Plus, it looks beautiful! I hope we both get to see it someday 🙂
Happy TTT!

I’m so envious! Nova Scotia really does look beautiful. I know people who go every year because they love it so much. One day!
Love this!
San Francisco is a really nice place! I went back in 2016 I believe and I enjoyed my time there. Hawaii would be an amazing place to visit. I’ve always wanted to go to Japan since I was a teenager haha. I really need to travel more.
The Girl from the Sea looks so cute! Was it good?
Also the Travelling Cat Chronicles, is it worth it?
– Liz
The Girl From The Sea is a graphic novel and it was adorable and sweet!
The Travelling Cat Chronicles is one of my favourite books. It’s heartbreaking though!
Only places listed here that I have visited are Japan (I was actually born there and lived there for seven years), San Francisco and Hawaii (I was too small but then I have been there). I always wanted to visit Amalfi Coast and Scotland though — never been to Europe.
That is awesome! I’ve actually been to the Amalfi Coast but want to go back. It’s beautiful!
Great post! I always find that reading about a place you want to go to just intensifies your need to go! I love reading about the different streets and the culture when reading about a different place.
I feel the exact same way!
I have driven across the Golden Gate Bridge. I’ll post the amateur video I did on my phone!
That’s on my bucket list for sure!
I love this idea – I often read a book and think about how much I’d love to travel to the destination I’m reading about! I’ve been to Scotland and Paris and I’d love to go to Japan. One day 🤞🏻
It is really interesting to think about where books are set!!
All of these titles seem very interesting.
