Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Top Ten Settings in Books  ( The places that you've read about that you wish you could visit ) 1. The Victorian London from Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare  - I've been to London lots of times, but I adored this time period, so any book set in this time would have done, but I liked it in Clockwork Angel most because Cassie's writing is so descriptive and wonderful.

Hogwarts from Harry Potter by JK Rowling - Do I really need to explain this one? Though there always seems to be some dark magic going on somewhere at this place, it still sounds like an amazing place to visit! 4. The Capitol from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I'm just going to add, this is BEFORE Mockingjay, I don't think I...
