Books set in romantic spots
Valentine reading
Today, let’s not give cards and buy flowers but instead let’s start giving books like they do in Spain. Some fun places to be either in a couple or on your own with your book for the best company ever…
Glasgow and Edinburgh
The Secrets of Blythswood Square
Walking around either of these cities with their gothic overtones, would be perfect if you are wearing the fashions of the time this book is set. And just look at that cover? All manner of gorgeous flowers so in keeping with the romantic feel of the season, there’s that too. There’s also mention of some erotic art so you know…
Set in Shakespeare country
By Any Other Name – Jodi Picoult
A rose by any other name etc… Yu can’t really get much more romantic than heading to London and Stratford and following the story of William Shakespeare and his plays. But that’s the very premise of this book – who did write the books attributed to him?
A Scottish Island
This has a got a lovely romance thread in it with a grumpy islander who lives alone… Got to love a mystery set on an island where there’s a ‘ will they won’t they’ story thread.
A wedding venue and island in Australia!
Perfect for a romantic getaway and you can’t get much more romantic than a wedding! Well, things get a bit dodgy but….just remember it’s a wedding and enjoy 😉
A musical evening in Italy
Music is the food of love after all and this book is filled with all kinds of notes from drama to romance but the overall piece is a delight to the eyes and ears.
Not all stories are romantic but the locations and settings are – and the characters within are some of the most interesting to get to know so…happy valentines!
