Top 10 Tuesday: Travel Inspired by Books

On February 26, 2019 By Jane @ Greenish BookshelfIn 2019, Top 10 Tuesday

Welcome back to Top 10 Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! I am really excited about this week’s theme: Places Mentioned In Books That I’d Like to Visit.

Such a fun list to put together. I decided to focus on places in our world. Certainly, there are plenty of places in novels that I’m still hoping to find my way into (Hogwarts, Narnia, Fablehaven, Middle Earth and more). But I’m keeping it more realistic this week 😉 I hope to travel to these places someday!

Oooh, my family is planning to visit the Isle of Skye later this year, so I will have to check out Five Days in Skye!

    Nuts! It’s being republished later this summer so that may make it tricky to find before then!

I’d like to visit the Juffure village in Roots by Alex Haley. Other than that, I was surprised to realize that I’ve read about some really seedy locations in 2019!

  Nice! And haha it’s funny to realize when we read in phases. I definitely do that!

Oh hell yeah. Staying overnight at the Met sounds so cool. I loved that book as a kid.
