Top Ten Tuesdays: Favorite Settings

A weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish, we answer the weekly prompt then visit others who have as well. Come have fun with us, meet new friends and discover new-to-you blogs and books!

So this week is to focus on a setting but I actually wrote this as settings in general--so bare with me! I did not realize I wrote it differently until this evening and since I am on vacation this week, I am not going to re-write it. So, here are settings I typically enjoy:

1) Regency Britain: I am a fan of this historical time period

2) Nantucket or coastal towns in general: I'm enjoying books set in coastal towns. I think I would like to live in a coastal community 

3) Ireland: a longing to go home, my Irish ancestry is something I am proud of and really only starting to explore...so I love reading books set within Ireland

4) Paris/France: I had the pleasure to visit France during high school and would love the chance to travel back. Right now, I live vicariously through stories set within France

5) Road Trips: perhaps a slight cheat but I do love a great road trip novel

6) Small Town USA: what can I say, I am a fan of books set within a small town. 

7) for Paranormal and Dystopian...I prefer the settings to be something known or recognized. So it does not mean that I won't be able to appreciate worlds that are much different than ours but it might take me a while to get into it.

8) England: present day England is a favorite setting too and it is on my bucket list as a place to visit

9) Professional Kitchens: be a bakery or a kitchen in a restaurant I enjoy books with a cooking/baking theme to it

10) Sports Venues/Practices/etc: what can I say--I like sports stories most of the time :)

So these are the settings that make me pick up the book and consider reading it. None of them are a sure bet but I will at least consider them most likely.
