Top Ten Tuesday; Ten Bookish Settings I'd Love To Visit

It's Tuesday again, which means it's time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to The Broke and the Bookish. The theme of the week was ten bookish settings I would love to visit and I decided narrowing it down to places in the UK. Those who knows me well enough knows that I'm a little bit of an anglophile, so I guess it wasn't such a big surprise.

Even though my "proper" list includes settings I'd love to visit, I would just quickly mention two places that I have already visited; The Long Room at The Library of Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland) and The Minster Gate Bookshop (York, UK).
My list includes;

  1. Word On The Water - The London Bookbarge, London
  2. Whitby Abbey (backdrop for Bram Stoker's Dracula), Whitby
  3. The Open Book, Wigton
  4. Sherlock Holmes Museum, London
  5. The Jacobite Express, Scotland
  6. Scarfes Bar, London
  7. The Book and Record Bar, London
  8. Far Rockaway, London
  9. Pages of Hackney, London
  10. The Calder Bookshop, London

    I really want to go to England. It’s at the top of my travel list, probably because I’ve read so many books set there.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
