Anything that's a psychologically thriller that will mess with my brain is something I will HAVE to pick up (those are my favorite types of films too), and I fall for books with atmospheric, gorgeous settings as well.<br /><br />Great list!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-55690346487147074852013-05-05T08:49:37.731-07:002013-05-05T08:49:37.731-07:00I never really thought about it before but seeing ...I never really thought about it before but seeing "small towns" on your list made me realize that I like books featuring small towns, as well.

I love books about New Orleans - I've never been there and it's not somewhere I'll be going in the near future (it's just a bit too far away from Australia). But I love the atmosphere that the locals bring in the books I've read set there.

I enjoyed "Around the World in 100 Days" and "MVP." I just picked up "Eighty Days," about a historical race between female journalists. I also have frequent dreams about hurrying to catch a plane. Maybe I want to read about people who succeed in their travelling adventures.~T~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17969562036638831748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-57097721381308587692013-04-30T12:42:18.154-07:002013-04-30T12:42:18.154-07:00Excellent list, and I love how you included titles...Excellent list, and I love how you included titles for each one.

But, yeah, it's dark and very R-rated. As far as Mitford, I've read a few of them, it's just been a very, very long time. I haven't read anything by Gutcheon -- I think I better remedy that. <br /><br />Thanks for the recommendations!
