Top 12 Books That Take Place in...NYC!!!

Posted by on



Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.
Every once in a while I participate in this one when I either
1) Like the theme, and/or 2) Have the time!

 This week's topic:
Top Ten Books With a Common Setting!

 This week's Top Ten Tuesday allowed us to list our top ten books with a common setting. (Ummmm, and we came up with 12, so oops?)

 Now, Bonnie and I could have thought of a MILLION settings, but we ended up settling on our favorite stories set in New York. 

 Next month, we'll be traveling to NYC ourselves to see Hamilton and Waitress on Broadway (MY FIRST TRIP TO BROADWAY, YOU GUYS.) 

 To celebrate, keep reading to find a roundup of our top books that have featured the Big Apple as a setting.


In no particular order...

1) DASH AND LILY'S BOOK OF DARES by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan


(UM, and it takes place at the most amazing bookstore, THE STRAND, and the cover is so adorable, AND LOVE!!! Plus, NYC AT CHRISTMAS FTW!!!)
