Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Fictional Worlds I'd Love to Visit

 


The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews asks that you share your link on their weekly post on their website (it will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Visit the other bloggers participating to see what they discuss that week. Comments are appreciated. 

Happy Wednesday! Hope you're having a great week. Today, we are discussing fictional worlds we would love to visit. In a vague sense, I could say books that take place in small towns, especially if they are by the water. Here are some examples:


Though I don't have any desire to live on the West Coast, Cedar Cove is a beautiful town in Puget Sound where Debbie Macomber's characters live and work. Especially since the television show, I would love to visit it or the real town that inspired it, Port Orchard, Washington. 


Brambling Falls, the setting for Selling Christmas by Angelina Goode, is a small fictional town with historical homes. The book is set during Christmas, which makes it even better. Would love to visit this one and spend the holidays there. 


Promise Lodge is an Amish community founded by three sisters. It is my favorite out of all Charlotte Hubbard's fictional Amish communities. Would love to eat there, shop there, and spend some time with these characters.


HollyHaven is a magical town that is home to the Claus family. For a Christmas lover like me, it would be an exciting place to visit.

What are some fictional worlds you would love to visit?

It’s cool that you love Christmas so much. I feel the same way about Halloween.

Halloween is my second favorite, Lydia. Thanks for visiting.

Definitely, George. Though we have fewer trees these days, I usually have at least six. Thanks for visiting.

I definitely love the small town / village setting. Wendell Berry's "Port William" series comes to mind.

All those small towns sound absolutely lovely. 100% see why you'd want to visit them!

Lots of people like visiting Debbie Macomber's imaginary world. I like that she's a fellow knitter!

They are so charming, aren't they, Stephen? I will have to check out Berry's series. Thanks for visiting.

They are, Michael. Thanks so much for visiting.
