Literary Vacation
Many of the historical books I’ve read are set in Europe, particularly England. A large part of my focus of my English minor (and English teaching degree) was focused on British literature (and American). I discovered some books that will stick with me for the rest of my life, such as Remains of the Day, which I still own all these years later. The Secret Garden is perhaps the first book I truly remember peaking my interest and realizing how different the British lifestyle is – or just the European lifestyle in general.
I’d also like to visit Venice. I’ve read several books set in this beautiful city, as well as a few historical period movies.
How awesome would it be to just take a book vacation, visiting all those spots from great books along the way?

London.
Scotland!
I think the primary reason London is so high on my list is because it figures so prominently in so many of the books I’ve read and loved!
I picked London because of Sherlock Holmes and Jack Shaftoe {Baroque Cycle}.
I think Italy for me, or maybe Greece (how about both??).
It would be amazing! At that point, I would go to Hogwarts, Narnia, Middle Earth… oh the endless possibilities 🙂
[…] Thoughts on Thursday ~ Literary Vacation […]
I think Prince Edward Island would be highest on my list. I know I’m cliche, but oh well! 🙂 Thanks for sharing with us at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com this week!

Yay, Prince Edward Island! I am an Alabama boy, but my Dad is from the island. I went there when I was twelve. I remember sulkie-cart horse races, lobster, and red potatoes. Gosh, that place is little more than a sandbar. I understand that there is now a bridge connecting it to the mainland. When I went, it was by ferry. {Dad got seasick.}
You are probably referencing ‘Anne of Green Gables’ as your literary stop.
Happy Reading, Mommynificent!
