This week's topic is settings I'd like to see more of when reading. I don't have many ideas for this one so let's see if we can come up with at least three.
Snowed in places - It's no secret I love snow in books (though not as much in real life). I love it when the plots take place in isolated, snowy locales and honestly can't get enough of them.
Spooky castles - The locations can be so eerie and atmospheric and I'd love to see more books take place in these types of manors.
New Orleans - Though I've never been to New Orleans, I think it provides a perfect backdrop for a multitude of genres.
So there you have it. It's the best I can do. I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with for this one!
Yes to snowed in places for horror, apocalypse and scary thrillers! There is just something silent and deadly about snow. It's a favourite thing for me! I've read a ton of stuff set in New Orleans over the years!
ReplyDeleteI knew we shared a lot of commonalities with setting we enjoy.
DeleteI've been to New Orleans! It's definitely a cool place to set a story.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
I'd love to visit one day.
DeleteOoh, New Orleans is a good one! And I just read a story with a snowed-in setting, it was really fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHave you read The Hunting Party? It was really good and it had that setting.
DeleteGreat ideas. My settings are all countries.
ReplyDeleteI like how you did yours. That required too much thinking for me :)
DeleteThat's because I love to read about different countries and have a list already. LOL.
DeleteFinding any other settings would have been too much thinking for me. ;)
But I love how we all had different ideas and that way we get to talk more about books.
Thanks for your post.
These are all great settings. I particularly love New Orleans as a setting too. I think it all goes back to Anne Rice and Interview With the Vampire😁
ReplyDeleteYep, you nailed it. That's where it all started with me too.
DeleteSpooky castles and haunted lighthouses are two I'd love to see more of.
ReplyDeleteHaunted lighthouses - yes please!
Deleteoooo yeah, new orleans. everything about that place lets you know where you are when you're there.

I'd love to visit and do some cemetery tours.
DeleteYou can have all the snowed in places, ha ha, although they might be a good thing to read when the temps are in the three digits! ⛄
ReplyDeleteA big yes to NOLA! I love that setting. 👍✨
I like them in books, not in real life :)
DeleteOoh snowed in places are always a great scene setter!
ReplyDeleteI know you enjoy that setting as well.
DeleteI agree -- I love a nice, secluded, preferably haunted setting! They always make for shivery reading :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
And shivery reading is great!
DeleteYup, snowy settings will do it for me every time. I don't know what it is about a horror or thriller set in a wintry place, it just makes me want to read it!

I think because it makes a bad or scary situation seem that much more desolate.
DeleteAll of these settings are big draws for me too.
ReplyDeleteI love these - New Orleans in particular.

So much history there - and potential for scary stories.
DeleteI would genuinely love to visit New Orleans some day -- though I am also aware that what i have built up in my head might not be the reality. But still -- one day!
ReplyDeleteOh spooky castles, yes!
