Thanks to everyone who commented last week.
Six of thirteen commenters do not know what book they would bring to exchange on a free date. A couple of those indicated it would depend on the date which is true too. Two people would recommend travel books, one would recommend a classic, another suggested a contemporary and another a cozy mystery. There was also a recommendation for One Fine Day which is about a marriage in trouble... a story about lack of communication.
The Winner from SBB #374 comments is: #9 MIKI who can make a GC choice if international or book choice from the Updated (**Finally!) ARC/Review titles or (recently updated) Love and Christmas titles - all linked near the end of the post. -- [12/15/18 I am pulling out some new Christmas and Love titles to add to the Win box choices. I had to move the books due to the water threat in office. I will dig them out again soon.]
**NOTE: I did post an Updated ARC and Other books for Giveaways. I have to go back and list the titles -- someday.
Please let me know your choice by completing the WINNER FORM.
WEEK #375
(One Question.)
St. James asks: Have any readers travelled on purpose to any novel / book destinations? If so, where and which novel??
I have travelled to locations in books I have read although I can't recall doing it purposefully. For example when I got to visit London I enjoyed visiting Hyde Park and streets and countrysides I am familiar with through historical romance. I also visited an English Manor and a castle when we were in Britain and Germany.

Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a 1/2 book choice or $2.50 towards GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify.

No, I never have but I surely would love to visit Scotland where a lot of the stories I read are based.

No, but then I don't travel much
ReplyDeleteNot on purpose. There are plenty of books, romance novels included, that are set in Italy, but I have visited those places without making a connection.

ReplyDeleteCongrats MIKI!
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't traveled to any of the book locations of the books that I have read.

ReplyDeleteI've not traveled to a specific place from a book; however, when I'm reading I often notice places that I have already visited. :)
ReplyDeleteI have not traveled to any on purpose. However, I have visited an Amish community where several of the books I have read were originated.
