One of the best things about books is discovering new cities and places to travel within the pages. As an avid reader I have been to other worlds and came across some cities that stick with me. As you all know already Bliss, Colorado is one of my favorite cities. I love that everyone there can just be who they are. Not to mention it is a really small town in the Colorado mountains.I’m talking they only have a hand full of buildings in town.
Lusty and Divine Texas are towns created by different authors but they still make me happy. Both are small towns in Texas, although Divine is a little bigger than Lusty. Still, anytime I read about either of them I see them as the picture above. Divine has a downtown area that could be any small town in America. It also has other places a little further out. Lusty, on the other hand is small like Bliss but has more businesses and building. I can just imagine one of those buildings above housing Lusty Appetites and the Sheriff’s office begin right across the street. On a side note, that is exactly how my town looks. One side of the main street through town has buildings like that.
Grayslake, Georgia is a town created by Celia Kyle. It has a lake by the same name and bear shifters call it home. In most of the books in the series the lake is described and the picture above is what I see when I read it. I actually have been to a place in Georgia that is very similar. If you have ever had the change to head into the North Georgia Mountains you will find plenty of lakes that look just like the picture. I could easily see the bears making their homes and lives there.
