I'm currently reading this book entitled "The Girl Who Saved The King of Sweden" by Jonas Jonasson. I actually bought this book because of its cover, but eventually I was hooked because the book was set on the places that I have wanted to travel to and also the settings of the book are not usually the place which the common books are set. The book has various setting, but the main setting is at Johannesburg, South Africa, other places are Sweden, Russia and China. It has been a bucket list of mine to be able to travel to Europe and Africa. Hopefully someday I may be able to.

How about you guys? Share your thoughts if you have read a book set somewhere you've always wanted to go. :D :lol:

Confessions of a Shopaholic for London
Angels and Demons for Vatican. even though I am not a Catholic, I still want to visit there.

I wanted to go to Greece and Paris. Anna and the French Kiss is set in Paris, i think, and i am targeting to read that this year.
Any books with Greece as setting? Just not classics like Oedipus Rex and the likes. :)

One book that I know of and have finished reading that has a Greece setting is "Acheron" by Sherrilyn Kenyon. It is a Fantasy Romance Novel and a very good book to read if your into stories with Greek Mythologies with a twist.
