Setting

So much for all my resolutions to blog more often! Again, apologies to all those people who popped by, hoping to read something new and were left disappointed! In my defence, however, I've spent two great months spending all my free time curled up on the sofa with some fabulous books from some top authors!

Looking at the massive pile of books which I've put in my keeper box, I started to wonder about settings. I know that most people love reading books set in exotic locations - Cyprus, Spain, Italy, Greece, South America, Australia, Paris, etc. Now, I enjoy reading books set in those locales, but maybe it's because I live in a country where the sun shines uninterrupted all year long, but give me a book set in Cornwall, Scotland, Yorkshire or rural England and I'm hooked! I just love the sheer romanticism of it all - the windswept beaches, the miles and miles of rolling countryside, the moors, the green hills, the derelict castles, and the beauty of rural communities.

So, what are you favourites settings?
