Top Ten Tuesday: Places in Books Iโ€™d Love to Escape to

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.


Hello lovelies! I hope this week has been treating you well so far. Itโ€™s been a kind of reflective week for me due to some bad news I received last Monday, so I am actually quite glad that this weekโ€™s TTT topic is one that was perfect to think of. I think reading is such a beautiful thing because it allows us to escape the stuff in our lives at times to other worlds and places where we temporarily live other peopleโ€™s lives and see how they struggle and triumph through whatโ€™s thrown at them.

In trying to honour the vast diversity of genres I read, I have picked a number of real places, real-ish societies, and completely fantastical places I would love to escape to for a while right now.

Fantasy locations I wish I could transport to

1. The Shire/Rivendell (The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien)

This has always been my number one place when I want to escape out of my own stress. Just put on the soundtrack, close my eyes and dream of peaceful rolling green hills and leaning against a tree trunk watching Hobbits doing their thing.

Or seeing the glory of the Elvish halls as the sun hits its spires in all the right places, and running into this peaceful abode to spend the rest of my days. What more could I ask for?

March 2021 Wrap Up and TBR

Hi friends! Iโ€™m not sure where the time went this month because it felt both short and long at the same time. Itโ€™s been a year since I started working from home full-time so time definitely flows kind of funny around me. I hope you are still keeping well and safe. There is hope at the end of the tunnel, we just got to hold on together.

In the meantime, this month has been my best reading month in a while. Full-time work can get so busy, and when Iโ€™m not working Iโ€™m trying to fill up my extra time connecting with friends and family I havenโ€™t seen in a while. But I managed to read a good number of titles that I will share with you below by rating and the superlative I would give it.


What have I read this month?
