Read a book set somewhere you would like to vacation. Difficult choice ... There are many places I would like to visit! Let's see which one has been on my TBR list the longest ...
Brenda wrote: "Come to Australia Patrizia ;)"It's on my list, but it's a long journey for me... Maybe I'll come with my imagination: I have a book set there that also has tourism as a theme.
I think (especially at the moment) the books will have to bring you here :) We have lots of great authors set in AU and a lot of the stories are set here. Happy reading!

Definitely a lot of choices! I should probably “visit” Norway and finish the audiobook I started listening to last November/December, but there’s a good chance I’ll find myself back in Paris. I have a lot of books set in France. 😀
