Happy Tuesday, Wormies! It’s been an awesome week in the reading front and I am excited to share the books that made me want to travel to these places. I guess it’s because the descriptions of these places are so vivid that I feel like I’m actually in that place. Books really take you to places you’ve never been!
Paris, France
Wanderlust by Lauren Blakely
This book made me feel like I was in Paris! The places Joy went were so off the beaten path that I felt like a local!
Oxford, United Kingdom
My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan
I love how vivid the descriptions of Oxford was! It made me feel like I was actually going to school at Oxford!
New York, New York
Roomies by Christina Lauren
I’ve been to New York and this book totally captured the feel and the scene! I love the music/Broadway aspect of this book!
Paris, France
Sweet Filthy Boy by Christina Lauren
This is another book set in Paris that also took me off the beaten path where tourists don’t really go! I also felt like I was there!
Denver, Colorado
The Marked Men Series & The Saints of Denver Series
I just finished binge reading these two series and I felt like I’ve been to Denver! These series make me want to visit Colorado!
What are your favorite books that take you to places because of the vivid descriptions?

I feel like a bad person, but I can’t get into Jay Crownover books. 🙁
I understand. Some books are just not for everyone. To be honest, my reread of Rule bumped my rating from a 3 to a 5 because of my mood when I reread it? Her books are definitely darker than most and sometimes this is just not for everyone.
Ooooo I need to check all of these out!

I wish I could go an visit!
I loved the Marked/Saints books, and you can tell how much Crownover loves Denver by the way she writes about her city.
Definitely! This is exactly the reason why I WANT to go and see the city! 🙂
I have Sweet Filthy Boy a few times now, and I have My Oxford Year already on my tbr pile!! Nice list!
Oh definitely read My Oxford Year! It’s emotional and just an AMAZING book!
My Oxford Year would probably have me wanting to attend ha ha! And anything Paris… 🙂
