Authors can go in so many directions, plotwise and, well, space-wise, with that particular setting.

...Villainous Lairs! Hahah, that made me chuckle :P <br /><br />Also Ancient Greece! Ah! Alexander the Great! Grabby hands. Ancient Greece is the shizzle isn't it? (I can't believe I just said that). I also have a thing for Ancient Egypt myself - there's just something so mystic about the both of them. And also the fact that there was a great wealth of knowledge being discovered then. Must've been exciting times to be living in. And perhaps a little terrifying. <br /><br />NEVERLAND!! Ahh, I use to wish so hard that I could fly off to there and never have to grow up and deal with all the boring stuff I'm dealing with now. Seriously that story has my heart. I love everything about it, but of course there's that darkness and everything underneath. Despite that I still want to be there. My sister and I use to place dried leaves by our windowsill and then next morning act all astonished and pretend that Peter Pan had been there. So sad.

Consider it a done deal, ladies!<br /><br />Ya know, I saw the movie and wasn't that impressed but I don't usually put much stock in movie incarnations of books. I actually bought my brother the first few books in the series for Christmas, so I'll definitely have to borrow them when he's done.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825578716168335522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866711598170215077.post-24448382724400271072013-01-23T12:40:55.790-05:002013-01-23T12:40:55.790-05:00Spain will always have a special place in my heart...Spain will always have a special place in my heart, Naida. I think I'll have a hard time going back because I just don't know if it can live up to my memories. ::Le Sigh:<br /><br />Under the Tuscan Sun is a negatory, though, I've heard beautiful things. I will watch it ASAP just because I trust your opinion.<br /><br />LOST! I'm still not over it. I honestly don't know if I ever will be, though. <br /><br />Ooooh, old school NYC is great! You should try reading The Diviniers because it has that classic, jazzy NYC sorta feel.

What a great book.<br /><br />It's not ancient Greece...or even Greece really, for that matter...but you should check out Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series. There's a couple off-shoots from it, but you should start with <i>Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief</i>. Lots of mythology mixed into modern times. Great stuff.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amypeveto.com/2013/01/22/top-ten-tuesday-settings-id-like-to-see-more" rel="nofollow">Here's my TTT</a> for the week.

I used to read Star Trek Voyager books many moons ago, that was my fav Star Trek. That and Enterprise.<br />Yes to Tuscany, Italy. Have you seen Under the Tuscan Sun? That's on my top 10 fav romance films. It's a book too, but I haven't read it yet. <br />Don't get me started on LOST. I actually watch re-runs on cable now that they have them available. I *heart* Jack all the way. IMO the smoke monster explanation was whack.<br />I've always enjoyed a nice Venice setting, something about those gondolas that just sweeps me away. I also like Old New York settings, circa Rockefeller/Carnegie era. <br />Great post!<br /> <br /><br />The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217390642323530030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866711598170215077.post-16238974480854788262013-01-22T18:55:50.724-05:002013-01-22T18:55:50.724-05:00I love how you said The Island from lost, not just...I love how you said The Island from lost, not just any island, I understand you there, never enough answers!<br /><br />I also would love to see more books in Ancient Greece.<br /><br />Great list!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788568691345783808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866711598170215077.post-88972143681466939362013-01-22T15:26:36.117-05:002013-01-22T15:26:36.117-05:00Time Travel is not cheating (not just because I sa...Time Travel is not cheating (not just because I said it too!) - it's got SO much potential.
