So this week we are sharing places mentioned in books we'd like to visit. Now here's a small yet ironic secret. I grew up in a VERY small town. And I hated it. I'm sure I even harassed my parents about it at one point. Yet now that I'm an adult, I love reading about small towns. Especially quirky little ones featured in cozy mysteries. Maybe because at least in them there is always something interesting happening. So on to the locations!
BRIAR CREEK CONNECTICUT - Such interesting characters, most of whom work at the local library or diner. What's not to love?
SYLVAN CREEK PENNSYLVANIA - A VERY pet-centric town. Sign me up!
THE OVERLOOK HOTEL/COLORADO - Because I'm weird like that. Also, I just learned that the exterior of The Stanley Hotel is actually the Timberline Lodge in Oregon. Hmmmm....why did I always think it was actually in Colorado. And when I visit, please let me see the twins!
HOGWART'S - And yes, I'm sure it will be on tons of lists this week. But it would still be cool. I'd like to spend the day chatting with Hagrid. I'm afraid Harry and Ron would irritate me in real life.
PROVIDENCE NEW HAMPSHIRE - I've always to visit and I loved this book.
BLACK DOG BAY DELEWARE - More dogs. Is anyone really surprised?
RIVERDALE - I want to "chill" with Sabrina and hangout with Jughead. Now I would probably end up ignoring Veronica and Betty but who cares. And yes, I feel like a cougar but the guy who plays Jughead is actually 26 so at least he's legal.
CAINSVILLE - Because it sounds cool and I want to count the gargoyles.
MISTLETOE MAINE - I love the setting and the characters and would love to play the reindeer games.
PAISLEY PARK - No explanation needed I'm sure.
HONORABLE MENTION: STARS HOLLOW
So there you have it. Mostly cute adorable places with a few scarier ones thrown in and one outlandish pop star palace. Not a bad variety.
Where are you visiting this week????
Most of the interesting places in books I read are horror settings so I wouldn't be that keen! I end up putting down the same list of ten so I changed it up a bit! I used to want to see those steps beside the house in The Exorcist but there is rumoured to be a curse with people getting pushed down the stairs by something invisible so maybe not!
ReplyDeleteOh yea, those steps would be cool. Wouldn't surprise me if they were cursed though.
DeleteI'd love to visit the Overlook, but I'm torn on whether I'd want to actually see those twins or not. LOL
ReplyDeleteI want to see them, but then I'd run!
DeleteI like small-town settings, too, where everyone knows each other and all the secrets!
ReplyDeleteYea, those types of towns are so fun to read about.
DeleteYay for Hogwarts! I thought you would have Christmas Street from A Dog Called Jack :)
ReplyDeleteDid my list before the book was done or I would have added it!
DeleteYes, Hogwarts was on tons of list so far this week. It would be such a cool place to visit.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday post.
I knew it would be a popular choice.
DeleteHogwarts is popular this week for a reason😊 Oh and you've reminded me I need to read Providence!
ReplyDeleteYes you do. I do think you would enjoy it!
DeleteYes to Briar Creek and Sylvan Creek! :)
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd visit those places with me.
DeleteAwwww, yes! Stars Hollow!
ReplyDeleteI feel a Gilmore Girls rewatch coming up.
DeleteI always wanted to read Providence because I work there. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought that book was about Providence, RI because it's about Lovecraft :) I didn't know there was another Providence city in the US! I couldn't find it in he list :)
You know there's a chance I typed it wrong :)
DeleteHogwarts (and Diagon Alley) made my list, too. I mean, who wouldn't want to go there? :)
ReplyDeleteI know. It would be so much fun.
DeleteYes I would love to visit Hogwarts!

Guess that's why there's a theme park based on lots of the locations huh?
DeleteMistletoe Maine would be a fun place to visit. I would love to visit small tow anywhere :)
ReplyDeleteThey are so quaint in books. Growing up, not so much.
DeleteRiverdale! I laughed so hard at your comment there. :) Cainsville sounds pretty great too (and I'd add rockton from her Casey Duncan series maybe), and Briar creek sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteGlad you appreciate my humor. It's true, I always feel so old when I enjoy that show.
DeleteI live in a small town on the bay. It's actually a single tax colony. Take too long to explain that. It's quaint and there are lots of writers and artists here. There's also a lot of cafes and small shops just like in the cozy mysteries.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you live in a really cool place!
DeleteLOL the Overlook Hotel, nope nope nope nope nope :P
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Ah come on!
DeleteI would love to visit Hogwarts too.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
I knew it would be a popular place this week.
DeleteMistletoe Maine just rolls off the tongue!I love your Christmassy picks!
ReplyDeleteI've read some really great Christmas cozies lately.
DeleteSome of the locations I read of in books I would never want to visit. lol
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Yea when you read thrillers or horror, sometimes it is hard to come up with locations.
DeleteI started reading The Most Beautiful this morning. 👍✨
ReplyDeleteOooohh, can't wait to hear what you think. My review for that book has gotten more likes than any other I've written. I still love Prince and always will, but I was able to better see and understand his flaws once I read this. And ended up with a new appreciation for Mayte.
DeleteLOL that's too funny about loving to read them. Though I am NOT a sports person but love me some sports romances so... lol
ReplyDeleteYes on Stars Hollow! Me, too!
I think lots of people would like to go to Star's Hollow.
