Top Ten Places In Books I'd Love to Live

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and The Artsy Reader Girl. This is kinda a hard one. I honestly love where I live now. That said, there are a ton of places I'd love to visit or stay for a few months! Give me idyllic countrysides, foreign cities, and ancient monuments any day!

1. Magical Toronto from A Dark and Hollow Star by Ashley Shuttleworth - Not only does this have the big city fun of Toronto, I would love to explore the fae court and the magical underground!

2. Night Court from A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas - We're first introduced to the Night Court, specifically the Court of Dreams, in A Court of Mist and Fury and I've wanted to visit ever since!

3. Scotland from This Scot of Mine by Sophie Jordan - There are so many places in Scotland that I'd love to visit! Edinburgh would be a most-stop, but I'd love to see the countryside as well!

4. The Witchlands from Truthwitch by Susan Dennard - I maybe wouldn't want to hang around while all the conflict of the series is going on, but once Safi and Iseult have tidied things up I'd love to stop by!

5. Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth - While this book takes place in a specific small Irish town, I'd love to explore Ireland as a whole!

6. Magical London from All That Glows by Ryan Graudin - Emrys is a faery guarding a British prince, but I just want to explore London and occasionally party with a faery!

7. Luna and New Beijing from Cinder by Marissa Meyer - While the first takes place entirely in New Beijing, I'd really love to explore this whole sci-fi world. There's so much to see and learn in the future!

8. Paris from Die for Me by Amy Plum - I'm not particularly interested in the City of Lights itself, but I would *love* to explore the Catacombs under Paris! And while I'm in the city I'd pig out on some delicious food!

9. Egypt and Rome - Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran - Starting in Egypt (AKA one of the places I most want to visit in the world) and then spending the rest of its time in Rome, this book an amazing piece of historical fiction. I will take the modern world over the ancient one to live in, but I would *love* to visit these ancient places in their heyday!

10. Ancient Greece from Daughter of Sparta by Claire M. Andrews - I would love to travel to Greece someday and spend a month traveling around and exploring all the ancient ruins. There's just so much to see!

Where would you like to travel or stay from books? Would you choose a real-world location or somewhere in a fantasy novel?

Books That NEED More Attention

Yes, I've been making a lot of lists lately, but I'm lazy and it's easier to make lists than to write reviews while I'm adjusting to high school. So there.

Anyways, here's a list of books that I think aren't getting enough attention!

The Archived by Victoria Schwab-After the end of the second book, I need to know what happens next. Currently, there's no info on the third book, except that it *might* happen.

Greta and the Goblin King by Chloe Jacobs-Basically, if it's published by Entangled, you must read it, this one more than most. I mean, come on, there's GOBLINS in it!

The Girl Who Never Was by Skylar Dorset-For all I know, this might be some widely read phenomenon, but I only just heard of it this summer, and it's AMAZING!

Boneseeker by Brynn Chapman-Another publisher you must read everything they publish! Month9Books is not only amazing, but local for me. Boneseeker is perfection in every way imaginable!

Daughter of Chaos by Jen McConnel-I've met Jen on multiple occasions, and she just rocks. Daughter of Chaos combines witches and all the gods, which is insanely cool!

Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran-This book is more adult, but everyone must read it. A fictitious telling of what happened over the five years Cleopatra Selene VIII was in Rome that blows my socks off every time.

Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon-Here's the thing. These books rock. Yet not enough people are reading them, so the third book hasn't been picked up, and I NEED it! So let's gather the troops and do this thing!

Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins-Just read it. Kai is the son of the demon of lust. 'Nuff said.

Vivian Divine is Dead by Lauren Sabel-This is amazing and wonderful and all around perfect. You never know who's evil and who's good or what's going to happen next!
