This week's topic is Bookish Places I’ve Visited (Share all the cool places you’ve been that are bookish or tied to books! This includes neat libraries, book stores, places featured in books, places inspired by books, author homes/places they’ve stayed, etc. You can also share your bucket list of the bookish places you’d like to visit someday.) (submitted by Susan @Bloggin’ ’bout Books)
I couldn't think of anything for this topic. So, I'm kind of tweaking it a bit. I chose ten books that I've read that were set in US states that I've been to. I know I won't get a chance to visit all the states, but I always enjoy seeing how many places I've actually been to. So, here are books I've read set in states that I've visited or lived in...

What's on your list this week?
I just did an activity today about books set in all the states. I haven't visited many of the states myself however. I've visited all the Western States including Alaska and Hawaii, a few states on the East Coast, including Florida, and very few in the middle or the South.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to honour the prompt! Thanks for sharing your #TTT
ReplyDeleteI love this twist there's been so many books that have made me want to visit different states. There's so much more of the US I want to see and that's largely down to books 😂
ReplyDeleteA great list! This prompt made me think 😂
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

I twisted this week's prompt too. I love how you connected books to places you've been, that's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT for the week: https://readbakecreate.com/fictional-bookstores-i-would-love-to-visit/
I read one X-Files novel back in the day, but that one looks newer!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good twist on the theme! And some fun picks.
ReplyDeleteI've visited WAY more states via books than I have in real life.
ReplyDeleteI liked your twist on the topic this week!
ReplyDeleteCalifornia is a beautiful state.
ReplyDeleteGood tweak! I should try this!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week. Here is my TTT. https://dmhoisington.wordpress.com/2026/08/25/top-ten-tuesday-39-books-covers-that-feel-like-summer/
ReplyDeleteI've been to some of those states too. How fun. Nice stack of reads, too.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Yvonne. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
This is a great tweak, it would probably have been much easier for me to do. haha
ReplyDeleteFun take on the topic! I do love reading books set in places I've visited. It always makes it extra fun.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun theme.
ReplyDeleteI've visited almost all of the states in person, except for all the Northeastern ones. I hope to get to all of them in person some day.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a good way to interpret the prompt.
ReplyDeleteNice! I like your twist on the topic. I've been to a lot of the states, including all of the ones on your list. I only have about a dozen or so to go.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
