Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the awesome people at The Broke and the Bookish
This week’s topic is: Top Ten Settings I’d Like To See More Of
1. The South
I always love a good book set in my neck of the woods.
2. Stars Hollow
You guys, I loooove Gilmore Girl! Wouldn’t it be amazing to read a book set in a town like Stars Hollow?! YES!
3. Summer Camps
I adored summer camp! I ‘d love to revisit that.
4. Road Trips
Everyone loves a good road trip book.
5. Backpacking
Same goes for backpacking. Who doesn’t love reading about that?!
6. Australia
I don’t think I’ve ever read a book set in Australia (or by an Australian author) that I didn’t like.
7. The Beach
I know there’s tons of books set at the beach, but I can’t get enough of them.
8. Rome
I love, love, love reading about Rome.
9. The Wilderness
I’m a very outdoorsy person. I love the woods and the mountains and all the gritty stuff that comes along with that.
Stars Hallows-like towns made my list as well! I want to read about a small town filled with quirky characters *so* much. It was such a great setting for my favorite show ever, and every time I watch it(which is often, since I have all the DVDs and pretty much watch only two other TV shows besides) I always wonder why more TV shows/books/movies don’t utilize the idea of the quirky small town.

Road trips, the wilderness, the South, backpacking, Rome… Yes, all of them. Especially the wilderness, because I too am an outdoorsy girl and really like the nature scene. Not many YA books include that aspect unless the person is on the run, or unless it’s some horror scene.

I love Stars Hollow and used to wish it was a real place so I could move there

I could totally do with some more books set in the wilderness although I didn’t add that to my list. ;p

A summer camp book would be fun to read about… especially if the characters were the camp counselors. Hmm I may need to look into this & see if there are any out there like that. Great idea!
Yes to Summer Camps!! I love camp settings, it’s so fun. And road trips are always really fun too!! Great list Lori!

The Wilderness is actually a much better way to describe what I meant by The Woods haha. I love survivor stories! I’d also love more road trip/back packing books (maybe in Australia?) and stories set in Rome. And as always, I love how you formatted this.

Summer camp! I never went to summer camp, Lori. I think that your yet to born son should go to summer camp because of this. haha. I did really love reading The Lost Summer (set at camp) and The Summer of Firsts and Lasts if you haven’t tried those out.
Also! THE SOUTH. Love it. (Have you read Queen of Kentucky?) I would like some south with a dose of country music, please!

YESSS to Stars Hollow! in my Gilmore Girls heyday, there was nothing more I wanted to do than live in a small town like that. I don’t know if I can do that right now but it does seem very lovely! LOVE Rome, backpacking, and road trips!

Oh I love the road trip idea! So many different places to drive through, break down in, unusual sights to see…plus just think of the humanity you’d come across! I am loving the summer camp idea as well.
Here’s mine: Top Ten Tuesday
Audrey @ Ink and Page recently posted..Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Settings I’d Like to See More Of
Oh I totally agree about Stars Hollow! In fact, I kinda want to live there
Great list!
What a great list, Lori! And I like all the outdoor settings. Lots of story potential! Summer camp counselors sounds fun- maybe in Australia to combine a couple settings! This week’s topic is so fun and makes me realize how many great setting opportunities there are.

Stars Hollow YAY It is so much fun to see people refer to my favorite series. I saw someone mentioning Haven earlier. I guess the small town setting has something special.

Sigh, Gilmore Girls. There are still seasons that I haven’t watched yet and I should totally catch up. And I want to read Jellicoe Road so bad!

I’m loving the GG reference! Plus Im for the South [Texas] also. I love reading a good southern story!
Awesome list.
Stars Hollow! What a perfect setting – I would love to read a series that took place in a similar town! I love all of your choices! I’m a fan of travel, so they’re all right up my alley!

Summer camps!! I haven’t thought about this one. I’ve never read any books set in a summer camp, and I think it could be completely awesome.
Great list

Thanks for stopping by my TTT! I completely agree on the summer camps, I think the last one I read that briefly involved a summer camp was a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants novel! -Beth

I love your list!!! It has an outdoorsy-theme to it.
Do you like reading books about Rome in the present or Rome in the past? I’m not ashamed to say that Gladiator is my all-time favorite movie…

Australia and road trips are on my list too; I’d love to see more books set in the wilderness, I just got ‘Boys, Bears, and a Serious Pair of Hiking Boots’ from my library!

I have actually never read a road trip book before. This is kind of pathetic, because there are quite a few. I’m going to have to get on that this year! Great picks.

So happy to see Australia making it onto so many lists
Even us Aussies want more books set here

Summer camps! Read “I Want To Go Home” by Gordon Korman. Hilarious MG/YA summer camp story. It’s probably my favourite book of all time. My TTT
Janita @ Book, Interrupted recently posted..Top Ten Tuesdays! (4)
Summer camp!!! That would be an awesome book! In the TV series Awkward the series starts out that the 2 m/c’s hooked up at summer camp, I would love to read a whole book about something like that! Good idea!

Sadly I’ve no idea what Stars Hollow is but I do love a good road trip book any day. Beaches and the wilderness sounds like great settings as well. I am all for nature!
P.S. I love the graphic you made for the post! Also, did you get a new blog design? I totally love it! =D
