December 5: Ten Bookish Settings I’d Love to Visit

I’ve stuck to real world places this week (although, of course they’re all from SFF novels), so these are all places you really could visit — although in a couple of cases your timing might be a little out.

All Souls College, Oxford, England — A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

The Yorkshire Moors, England — Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

Melaka City, Malaysia — The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo

Norton Conyers, England — Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

Versailles, Paris, France — The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

Egypt — The Blazing Star by Imani Josey

Kings Cross Station, London, England — Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling

University of Ingolstadt, Munich, Germany (closed in 1800, but modelled on the University of Vienna, shown above) — Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam — Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

The Empire State Building, New York City, USA — The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
