It’s been a while since I’ve done a Top Ten Tuesday but since I love the idea of book traveling I thought this weeks topic would be fun.
So 10 probably seriously questionable places mentioned in books that I’d like to visit.
Wonderland
Let’s tea party with the Mad Hatter in a place where everyone’s a little odd. Speaking of…
Fairyland
An adorable little world full of sweets and giving me some Candyland vibes. Gert was playing it all wrong. I’d never leave.
Versailles/Paris Pre-Revolution
Sign me up for the aristocracy (it’s just a vacation after all!)
Pemberley
I still remember watching the miniseries with my mom and agreeing Elizabeth only wanted him after she saw the house 🙂 I’d put up with a lot of crap for Pemberley.
Westeros
I mean pre-war of course. Sometime when Ned and Cat where still in the North and Robert was only pissing off his wife.
Derry
Which may be a little odd but those kids were adorable and there’s something so creepy about a Stephen King book coming to life. I really think Maine should get on that for tourism.
Middle Earth
Such a lovely place 🙂 And actually I do hope to visit New Zealand and the film set one day soon!
Gotham City
Ah, the people you would meet! The friends you would make!
Green Gables
And Anne’s world of Octobers. Seriously troubling thought but how much fun would a Harley/ Anne crossover event be???
And lastly, and this may be cheating just a little bit…
Atlantis
I mean even if I’m going with the one envisioned and inhabited in the film it’s not like it was never mentioned in the comics! 🙂
Lol about Pemberley. A frickin ogre might be worth it for THAT place! And Middle earth for sure.
Westeros too but yes before the war. Maybe a nice quiet corner of Highgarden or something.
Highgarden definitely seems the popular choice! Plus I don’t think it’s going to go as badly for them in the books as it does in the show 🙂
You should try Richard Brautigan’s “In Watermelon Sugar.” The setting is hippie-magical.
Thanks! I’ll check it out.
I want to go to Atlantis, Green Gables and Hogwarts. I literally want to visit every single book place!
Great list!
Reblogged this on LIVING THE DREAM.
Great choices! I would totally visit Westeros, Pemberly, and Middle Earth <3
They are the best spots 🙂
Excellent choices! I love how you think! 😉
Thanks!
I’d go to these places out of curiosity but I doubt I would get much of a vacation in – I feel a lot of running away (or swimming away) from things would be involved at almost all of them.
I’ll take the lot! Also, maybe add Hogwarts as an 11th?
I’d probably never leave Hogwarts 🙂
Yes for Pemberly and Gotham City! Love me some DC villains, they are the best
I think I put DC villains about the heroes in some cases 🙂
I am this close to trying to find Atlantis in my bath tub or something 😀 3 more years to the sequel! JESUS!
On the bright side the movie will be available in a few days! I’ll probably be able to write a dissertation on it at some point and then there’s Dune 🙂
Great places to visit!
“Elizabeth only wanted him after she saw the house” 😂😂😂 so true! Great choices, I’d love to live in The Shire ☺
I’d love to visit Westeros, but then, even pre-Game of Thrones it would probably be too dangerous 😀
Atlantis, yup, I’m coming with you!
haha this is a brilliant interpretation of the topic! I really like the sound of fairyland and definitely want to go to Pemberley. Yeah pre-war Westeros would be pretty good. And I’d like to go to Middle earth/new Zealand too!!
Omg so many amazing places! And great point about Pemberley, her reaction in the film adaptation was one of much awe and she did kinda soften after that. 😉 JUST IMAGINE being one of the Stark kids before Littlefinger did his thing, they had such a tranquil life… if not that, Dorne looks so beautiful. Wonderland, yes, yes, yes, that’d be one heck of an adventure. And the Shire at the end of the trilogy where everyone is partying… ah, that gave me life.
