I really like this topic! But, to be truthful, my favorite book settings are the ones in my own yet-to-be-published books! So, Southern Indiana in the 20s and 30s, a very woke college campus of today, and an extremely grand country house with an unconventional lord of the manner, his family, and their cat. Yes, cat. Unconventional. In fact, all three books have a strong cat character. And, all have an older man–younger woman romance–though “older” is in keeping with the standards of the books time setting. So, the modern book has a many only about 10 years older.

Corridors of power is an interesting category. I’m trying to think of some books I’ve read that would fit. There’s Becoming, Michelle Obama’s memoirs (haven’t yet tackled her husband’s version) but then I’m stuck

I enjoy reading books set in bookish locations and food locations (kitchens, bakeries, restaurants).

Those sound like wonderful settings! I especially love a library or school setting.

I think I’ve gone off the war zone/military base location. But this is a good list.

I go in cycles with it. But I cannot take another woman spy book, lol. More books about them today than there were female spies it seems.

Yeah, I think I’ve heard you say that. Still, I’d prefer a female spy than some romance disguised as a WWII novel.

Great list. I’ve gotten tired of books set during WWII. I also don’t care for settings on Military Bases since I worked at one for over 20 years. I guess I just had enough of that!! It’s hard for me to relate to novels set in palaces since I’ve never even been in one, much less lived in one!! But several of your other settings do appeal to me: An ordinary home, Traveling, Someplace Foodie, and A library or bookshop. It would take me a while but I could probably come up with some novels I’ve read in these four settings.

Great list LIsa. I’m not sure what you mean by The Corridors of Power. Good luck with your books, and I hope you are able to get them published.
