I have always been a small town girl, at least in my heart. I grew up in a large-ish town, but as an adult found myself enjoying small town living. I like less traffic, feeling a part of a community, and knowing people when I shop, dine, or recreate. I am aware of the pitfalls of small town life, (people knowing your business at number 1 😉 ), but still prefer to live in my small town. It was great raising children here too!
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is all about favorite book settings that you could live in. It’s no wonder that I chose small towns, both real and fictional.
In what book setting would you like to call your hometown?

Top Book Settings I Could Live In
Blackberry Springs, Alabama — where newcomers can find family, awesome swimming hole
Chawton, England (post-WWII) — it’s where Jane Austen lived!
Edisto Island, South Carolina — southern coastal town, great seafood restaurants, nearby Charleston
Hope Harbor, Oregon — beautiful landscape, interesting mix of new and long-time residents, quirky taco truck owner, engaging seagulls
Maryville, Mississippi — great neighbors, a chance to get involved in the community
St. Simons Island, Georgia — coastal town with a small town feel, artsy, community commitment to important issues
Three Sisters Island, Maine — quirky and independent citizens, wonderful family vacation camp
Edisto Island sounds lovely!

Hope Harbor for sure! I just finished Blackberry Beach! It is so welcoming!
I have also read Coming Home! Excellent choice.
And I’ve read some of Janet’s books as well. I need to catch up.
The others look so good!
Blackberry Beach is on my April TBR list.
These are awesome selections. I love small towns where you know each other and support one another. I could live there.

I’d love to live in the south if it wasn’t for all that darn humidity! LOL
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
And don’t forget pollen!
Thanks!! I’m excited to be included! Yes, lots of humidity and pollen here!
At least those 2 seasons don’t overlap too long! 😂
