Sara Edmonds | A Few Of My Favorites Of 2009
Sara Edmonds
December 29, 2009
With winter here, I have often wished to be in a nice tropical locale for a few
weeks. I realized though that while I was reading TWENTIES GIRL by Sophie Kinsella, that the
best vacation is right in my own books. As some of you may have read, I very rarely notice or need a lot of location in
the books I read. The one thing I do notice though, are the locations that if I
hit the lotto today, I would be on a jet plane in a minute.  I
have always loved the way that Nora Roberts intertwines
her characters and makes them one with the places they are. Her favorite far off
locale is Ireland. TEARS OF THE MOON was one
such book that after reading, made me want to go and spend some time in Ireland.
Susan Elizabeth Phillips'
novel, BREATHING ROOM,
has my favorite all time location--Italy. Of course, being half Italian, I am
always partial to anyone who can place the background setting of Italy into the
story in such a way as I look forward to the next destination.
 Katie MacAlister sets her
Aisling Grey
series on the streets of London, with some nice traveling to other locations
nearby. These are the types of vacations I like to take--great travel rates,
distance is not a concern, and I never end up with jet lag. Always a good deal.
What are some of the favorite locales of your favorite authors. Do tell-

Amenia- I didn't see the Robin Schone, and must go get it right away.
Diane- I got Nora's Black Hills for Christmas- the only reason it didn't make the list yet. But I will be reading it right away.
