Booked: A Traveler's Guide to Literary Locations Around the World | Richard Kreitner
25 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
A practical, armchair travel guide that explores eighty of the most iconic literary locations from all over the globe that you can actually visit. A must-have for every fan of literature, Booked inspires readers to follow in their favorite characters footsteps by visiting the real-life locations portrayed in beloved novels including the Monroeville, Alabama courthouse in To Kill a Mockingbird, Chatsworth House, the inspiration for Pemberley in Pride and Prejudice, and the Kyoto Bridge from Memoirs of a Geisha. The full-color photographs throughout reveal the settings readers have imagined again and again in their favorite books. Organized by regions all around the world, author Richard Kreitner explains the importance of each literary landmark including the connection to the author and novel, cultural significance, historical information, and little-known facts about the location. He also includes travel advice like addresses and must-see spots. Booked features special sections on cities that inspired countless literary works like a round of locations in Brooklyn from Betty Smith's iconic A Tree Grows in Brooklyn to Jonathan Lethem's Motherless Brooklyn and a look at the New Orleans of Tennessee Williams and Anne Rice. Locations include: Central Park, NYC (The Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger) Forks, Washington (Twilight, Stephanie Meyer) Prince Edward Island, Canada (Anne of Green Gables, Lucy Maud Montgomery) Kingston Penitentiary, Ontario (Alias Grace, Margaret Atwood) Holcomb, Kansas (In Cold Blood, Truman Capote) London, England (White Teeth, Zadie Smith) Paris, France (Hunchback of Notre Dame, Victor Hugo) Segovia, Spain, (For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ernest Hemingway) Kyoto, Japan (Memoirs of a Geisha, Arthur Golden)

1. About a cult or religion
2. Title repeats itself
3. Set in China
4. Weather term in title
5. From a Black-owned or Black-centric imprint or publisher
6. Non-patriarchal society or eco-feminist novel

Crazeedi @jenniferw88 that is so wonderful , so glad you are here💕💕💕💕 2y

VeganCleopatra Is it too late to join? If not, does someone have the original post with the rules etc? I don't remember them from last year. Also, if I read books that fit the prompts for this quarter can I post for this drawing? Thanks. (edited) 4y
Cinfhen Sure @VeganCleopatra jump right in!!! Share any book you read from January 1 until now that fits ANY of the prompts and each one counts toward a drawing entry. Just make one post and tag the hosts so we can record it!! The only rule is one book per prompt for a total of 24 prompts/ books🥳 4y
VeganCleopatra Thank you! You said ANY prompt so I don't have to worry about what season it really is or completing each section at a time correct? Just verifying because my brain wants to make it so I have to go in order and I keep trying to overrule it. 🤦‍♀️😏 4y
Cinfhen Hahahahaha 😂exactly @VeganCleopatra #SetYourMindFree 🤯any prompt, any season ❤️ 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @VeganCleopatra Overrule that protocol brain. At this point in the year (or anytime), we encourage FREEdom! 4y
