Smart Bitches Trashy Books | All of the romance, none of the bullshit.

I’d love to be in Ireland.  It’s always perfect reading weather there: gray and misty.

I’d like to be in Italy, eating some good food and reading All Jacked Up. Thanks.

China. Because in China right now it’s almost bed time, which means its the perfect time to curl up with a good book. (And the food there is excellent!)

Well, I am currently living in Poland so that would be the practical choice…but if I had my preference it would be Scotland ‘cause ya know, men in kilts have always been and still are my weakness.

Oh, Italy for me!

I love Turks and Caicos .  Laying on a beach with turquoise waters and warm sunshine. Sigh.  So much better than MI.  (It was between any warm tropical place (Cancun took 2nd place) and Paris due to Eloisa James tweets.)

Put me down for Scotland; you’ve got the lovely misty weather (perfect for a cup of tea & a hot book), plus castles & kilts.

Oh yeah, Scotland it would be…

I would love to be in Italy, as well. I’ve never been and always wanted to go! Thanks for the opportunity!

I’d love very much to be in Taiwan right now. I miss my relatives there… and the city life.

Put me in a castle in Ireland in front of a roaring fire with lots of free time to read.  That could be heaven :)

Brazil since they’re always celebrating Carnivale (the movies say so - it must be true!). Kinda like it’s always Dia de los Muertos when the hero needs to disappear into a crowd in Mexico.

It’s definitely cold and misty in England today. I have been looking out for All Jacked Up. Lovely to have it on offer.

Rachel

I’m currently not permitted to travel anywhere w/o the spouse-creature because men in kilts, or who have big swords or accents, or really broad shoulders and sharp teeth promptly cause a flare up of a disease I have that is known as Turtle Syndrome. Flair ups involve falling on my back and getting stuck here, just like a turtle. Hence the name.

But if I could go… I’ve got an obsession with Venice right now.

Italy…I want to go back to Italy.

I’m a Welshy, born and bred, but that’s the last place I wanna be right. Minnesota winter is drawing close—get me outta here and into somewhere sunny, hot and beachy.

I think, right about now, I would love to be back in Australia, on Cronulla Beach body surfing in the cool, salty water—hunky lifeguards to ogle at, with the husband off fetching me a yummie ice-cream :o)

SQUASH. Yup, that was my day dream being squashed. I glanced out the window and saw the frost settled on the grass. Bummer.

If I’m going to go anywhere, it’s going to be some place warm. Some place with a beach and clean, clear water. Some place where I can lay on said beach and drink in the sun and forget that it is currently 38degrees at home.
Send me to the Bahamas. Give me a tall, cold drink and then leave me alone with my book.

Norway! I love those crazy Vikings, and with the whole arctic circle thing in northern Norway it is dark, cold and time to be cheered with a good book.

New Zealand -  That’s where I want to be.  The mountain ranges as seen in LoTR are absolutely stunning, would love to see them in person.

I’d be up for another visit to Scotland. Or Wales.  I’m in a UK sort of mood.

I’d love to be in Japan right now since I’m craving sushi like nobody’s business…

(Don’t include me in the giveaway, I just bought and glommed and totally enjoyed my copy of All Jacked Up.)

Australia.  Where there is a lot of space, and not many people to bug me while I’m trying to read.

Put me down for Italy. One of these days I’m going to go meet the rest of my relatives there.

Who can resist Alpha Males in Kilts and bare chested (yes I know it’s rather cold this time of year… but alphas don’t care right!!!) no one that’s who! Give me Scotland any day of the week!  Not to mention the Fay… yummmmm

I would find myself Adam Black (KMM) and steal him… or maybe Cian McKelter he’s a definite hottie, oh there are so many men from so many authors… I’ll take a few!

Sarah,

You kickin’ your own ass with your pink boots today? (ooh look, Lorelei dropped the ‘g’ in that phrase, drives you crazy, don’t it?)

See, I’m surprised you didn’t say South Dakota because we are as foreign as another country to most people

Never been, but Turks and Caicos sounds really good right now.

I’m going to have to go with Australia.  I’ve always wanted to go there, and I might see Hugh Jackman…or not.

I’m just starting a possible story idea based in Beirut - so put me down for Lebanon.  (It’s “explosive” romance, I promise!)

I’d like to be somewhere sunny right now, and there was a bit of sun that shone through the grey today in Ireland but still Novembers in Ireland can be quite hard to work through.

Hmm, somewhere sunny. The Philippines, a quiet island, and diving :).

The weather in Norway is cold and gloomy today :(

England would be my preferred place. It’s rainy. It’s cold. It’s often foggy. Kinda like Wenatchee today! But the beer, food, and company is likely far better!

germany

Well given if I had a choice it would be Greece.

I’m going with Australia.  I’ve wanted to visit ever since I saw the Facts of Life movie where Natalie, Jo, and the rest got to go.

Ahhh - I’d have to say Italy.

Me, myself, and I would love to go ANYWHERE!  I’ve got the travel bug once again, but alas I am stuck in..duh duh duuuuuummm…Nebraska.  If I had to pick, however it would be Nepal.

I would love to be in Brazil. I need some time to recuperate and relax with the hubby.

ICELAND! The home of geysers and tiny Norse hoses. Love it.

I vote for Greece.  But I’d like to bring DH along, none of those Greek billionaires for me, thank you very much Harlequin.

I’ll take Greece, since I’m planning a trip there soon. :)

Indonesia, and that’s where I’m going, on Monday. To see my sister and, uh, totally not go to Bali, not even think of it.

I would love to be in New Zealand.  A friend went there and the pictures were beautiful.  I can be packed in like 15 minutes and the dogs can go to my mom’s house.

LOL, wow, you guys handle the penalty box WAY better than most folks! Thanks a bunch!

Good luck, everybody!!
Dee

Since I’ve traveled the world, right now I wouldn’t mind being in Brazil or Puerto Rico.  Some nice beaches with some nice scenery and a good book would total relax me and make my world complete.  I always have a bag on standby, so all I need is the plane ticket.

I’m going to have to go with the Czech Republic. I have three - count ‘em, THREE! - friends moving there for work by the end of the year. It would be nice to have something to read when I visit them and they are at work. Ha!

Definitely Bora Bora, with sunshine and turquoise waters, staying in one of those bungalows over the water. Absolute serenity!

I’d be happy being anywhere along the UK trip that a friend & I have been planning for the last few years. Although I too have to give a nod to Iceland as one of my friends dreamed of me finding love with a viking there.

Great serie by Lorelei!  Just put me in the Caribbean with a frozen margarita and I’ll be sooooooooooooo happy!

I’d be in Bath - looking for the ghost of Jane Austen.

Well, I’m currently living in the Carribean but would love to go home to the UK where I can have nice hot cup of tea (in a place that understands tea), warm (just out of the oven) scones with clotted cream and small cucumber sandwiches. Or, as someone else here mentioned, perhaps back to Lebanon for great food and a smoke on one of the cafes on the corniche - overlooking the pigeon rock…  Mango flavoured tobacco, methinks. 

I would be All Jacked Up to be reading a book with my tea or nargiley ;-)...

Not having a book would also Burn For Me…

Either on the beach in Italy or sipping a cappuccino in an old style coffee bar in a small mountain town.

Is it springtime yet in New Zealand?  I’d love to go back there and see more of the country.  I spent a fabulous 24 hours there once teaching a class, and really wished for more time.

I would be in Scotland enjoying a nice single malt whiskey!  I love Lorelei’s books

I want to be in sunny Australia.  I’ll bring my electronic reader and be happy on the beach and in the outback.

I’d love to be in southern Spain on my bicycle, ebook reader tucked safely into my packs…. Ahhh….

I would love to be in Ireland taking a peek up the old family tree. Nice apology and fun contest.

I would love to go to Greece.
I

Saudi Arabia. Mecca is the most AMAZING place I have ever been.

Plus, there’s all those sheikhs all over the place… =D

Wales, without a doubt!

I would love to go to Australia. I have a friend that lives there and it sounds wonderful.

I’d love to be England checking out some toy stores for early christmas shopping.

Rome…sigh…

Southern Italy, where the light (supposedly) pours like honey over the landscape.  I feel certain it would inspire my NaNo efforts beyond any other location, and I may even crank out a painting or two while I am there….

Falkland Islands!! Wooooo!

I would like to be in greece and loll about in the sunshine.

Currently in Cornwall, UK with the mist and dank outside but a log fire inside.

Hot Water Beach in New Zealand would be the perfect opposite.  It’s a beautiful, remote beach where there are hot water springs in the sand: natural hot tubs for when you come out of the sea.  It’s springtime there now, so just perfect.

come54?  Are they kidding me?  Or is this prescience if I win one of those hot books?

warm, sandy beaches of the Caribbean . . . pick any island . . . hopefully with a fruity drink in one hand (with umbrella) and scorchin’ book in the other!

hmmm . . . wonder if I could find Capt. Jack Sparrow on one of those islands.  Now that’s worth exploring!

I want to be in Edinburgh, drinking tea at the Elephant House.  Or since, I think it is beer:thirty there, maybe at Bannerman’s, having a pint of Tennants.

Or, I’d like to be in Rome, ‘cause I’ve never been there.

I’ve recently saw a picture of Barcelona, Spain and I wanna be there now.

Arrrgh, punctuation fail!  Pls omit the comma after since.

Response46: I can probably think of 46 places outside the US I’d like to visit.

I’d like to be anywhere either with real winter and snow or where it is still a warm fall.  Not much further north, though since it is getting dark early and light late.  A safari in Kenya sounds pretty good

While on a complaint about geographic restrictions, what’s up with Barnes and Noble requiring you to be in the US to download books? There’s a huge number of us expats all over the world, living in places where the selection of English language books is pitiful and the prices high. Why can’t we buy books on-line at B&N?

Australia - they get to the weekend a little sooner ;)

The answer to that is Dublin, always Dublin. It’s been 8 years…and I miss it so.

I don’t do twitter…one reason being since I’d probably make a twit out of myself on a daily basis!

not by choice, but currently residing in Kuwait at the Army base, after enjoying a government provided vacation to Iraq.  But if i could pick, any other place, it would be Brazil or Argentina.  Mmmm, south american hotties!

Boyfriend and I desperately want to get away to Barcelona! Or Iceland. Or Scotland. Or Japan. Or Patagonia.

(also64… there are also 64 other places I could put on that list!)

Bhutan. Can I be in Bhutan? or maybe Jordan - visiting Petra, because that’s just cool.

I want to be in Bhutan. Do you know they are almost exclusively Bhuddhist in Bhutan? I’m not, but don’t you think it would be awesome to visit?

Pukhet.  I want to be on the beach in Thailand.

I want to go to Rio de Janeiro.  Put me down for there, but all of this nekkid kilt talk has me rethinking…  Now if we’re going for fictional places, put me down for Isle Esme…yeah, I’m one of those people, hehe.

Please send me to someplace warm, sunny and surrounded by oceans.  Maybe Figi or Samoa.

This is such a great contest! Thanks for doing it :D

Currently in SW Ontario, but would love to be in Montreal.

Definitely Egypt.  Or Greece.  Anywhere where there’s something amazingly historical.

England please… best climate for reading (cool and drizzly - perfect for reading in bed, under a duvet with a great cup of tea) - AND they have the most fantastic books that are way too hard to get in the USA.  I mean, it’s not like they’re printed in ENGLISH or anything… :P

I would love to be sitting on a beach in Australia.

The Camargue in the south of France - white horses, black bulls, pink flamingos and awesome beaches

I’d like to be on Crete, Greece visiting my niece or sightseeing in Ireland.

BTW can’t these titles be purchased directly from Samhain? I’d think that would cut out the middleman issues.

Thanks for the contest! :)

I say Switzerland, curled up in a cozy mountain chalet with a roaring fire and the Alps just outside my window….

I’m in Scotland - currently it is misty (that means it’s raining), damp, grey, and from my picture window I can see - nothing - because it’s dark most of the day…. And all the men in kilts tend to be either over sixty and built like scrawny chickens, or wearing long-johns. Although to be fair, very few of them wear kilts at all outside tourist season. And btw, kilts smell of wet sheep.

It’s not all it’s cracked up to be you know!

I would like to go somewhere warm and sunny to read my book - ANYWHERE warm and sunny, but preferably somewhere with no men in kilts.

A sunny island resort in the Caribbean where I can relax and read a romance without that guilty avoiding-work feeling. The resort might not be in my future, but with this contest I have a shot at half that equation!

(ways83 - I can think of 83 places I’d rather be today)

hm… It’s gloomy out, so I’d have to go with somewhere warm and sunny. A tropical island, perhaps. St. Martin?

I’m having a hard time deciding between Scotland and Tahiti.  I know polar opposites but what can I say.

I’d love to be somewhere in the Carribean. The sun shining.
lexeetoste at sbcglobal.net

I want to be in Scotland—-kilts, mountains, and mists. Oh, to be a bonny lass in Scotland!

Australia. Mostly because summer is coming on there, whereas here in the swamps of Illinois, winter is around the corner. I just had a lovely round of H1N1 and laying on the beach in the sunshine would undoubtedly fix me right up.

Ha! Confirmation word is ill87. I’ve been ill and feel 87.

Aaah - where to go to get away from the dark times here, and read a nice stack of “beach books”...

Spain would be nice, I think.
I also wistfully remember my Christmas holiday a few years ago - I think that on Christmas day we (the family, that is) were on a sailing boat off Whitehaven Beach.

Just about anywhere with some sun will do, though!!

I would love to be walking the moors of Northern England.

Italy is where I’d like to be reading. Preferably someplace sunny.

I’d like to be in the UK, towing my boyfriend around the museums in London and embarrassing him with my squeeing over how neat everything is.

Hmmm.. how about Aruba?  Sunshine, sand, cabana boys…

Practically? Canada, since my husband works there quite a bit and that seems to be where all our vacations are. Impractically—Scotland or England, since I never did get my husband to take me there before we had kids, as I’d requested, *sigh*.

I’d love to be in Australia . . . enjoying their lovely summer heat and great open spaces! Or Greece, mmmm deep blue ocean waves and sandy beaches. Take me away!

my spam word: where46

(I can name 46 other spots where I’d love to be this winter other than on the East coast LOL)

Morocco. Exotic, multi cultural, gritty and beautiful. Also..awesome food.

others73: there are way more than 73 other people entering this drawing.

I’d like to be in Russia. Just ‘cause it’s someplace I’ve always wanted to see and am the least likely to make it to!

I’d love to be in Morocco. It would give me a chance to do first hand research on my thesis.

I’m gonna go for the land of love….France :) But then again saw someone’s else comment about Scotland, which reminds my of my “Jamie” love…and I’ll take Jamie Fraser over France any day!!!

I’d like to be in Scotland on the hunt for totally hawt, kilt-wearing, brogue-speaking men.

I’d usually say Scotland, but not this time of year. :)  Put me down for Southern Spain as well.  And I’d be reading ‘All Jacked Up’ down on the sandy beaches. :)

I’m all about being in Ireland.  Men with accents make me hot and melty! I’d have them read me the phone book just to hear them talk but hearing them read me a Samhain book would be even better!

Floating down the Nile.

New Foundland, Canada.  I like to do my reading this time of year wrapped in sweaters and sipping warm-milky drinks.

I’d like to be in Morocco—great food and textiles! Plus Spain is only a hop, skip and a jump away.

I think I’d like to go to Spain and see Castle Coca . . .

I would love to be in Japan because my brother is over there right now and I haven’t seen him in FOREVER!

Who wouldn’t love to sit amongst the ruins of Greece reading a favorite book and soaking up the sun and beautiful sites?

I’d love to be in Mykonos right now. I could wander the city for hours.

I’d love to be in Australia, visiting a friend near Adelaide, so I can finally meet the CUTEST BABY EVAR in person.

Shame everything in Australia wants to hurt/kill/eat you and the flight is so long.

I am happy right where I am! :D Toronto, ON, Canada. But I’d still like to win a book :D

I’d love to be in Italy…..please don’t make me have to narrow it down further…..too hard to choose a city. :)

Portugal!
no books for me…

I’d love to be in Scotland…and have Gerard Butler read to me…

I’d like to be in the UK… friends, hiking, books, history & FRIENDS!!

Besides, where else can you be in England, Wales, Scotland & N Ireland….. and all the different accents, too!!

Although, when I’m there, I’m the one with an accent!!

I’d like to be in Prague, chilling with a med student I know there.

Melbourne, Australia, where I now live. We’re about to enter our fifth consecutive day of temperatures above 30C (86F) at the start of November for the first time since records have been kept. I’d like to find some A/C to hide in with ebooks to read. (However, given that I don’t have a Kindle, these wouldn’t do me much good. Just wanted to vent about the weather :-> )

I’ve just watched an episode of “No Reservations” with Anthony Bourdain eating his way around Spain—so, Spain (and tapas) for me!

I would love to be in Ireland right now, drinking a nice hot cuppa (or perhaps a nice dark beer) and reading a steamy romance…two great tastes that taste great together!

Oh, wow, what a great prize!  I’d love to be just about ANYWHERE but home right now…Hurricane Ida just past, and it’s wet and soggy here.

But if I had my druthers, I’d LOVE to be on a yacht in the middle of the Mediterranean drinking a Moscoto and nibbling on cheese while reading a hot romance.

I would love to be in England right now. I want to do some on the ground research for my next medieval erotic romance!

Jen said “I’m in Scotland - currently it is misty (that means it’s raining), damp, grey, and from my picture window I can see - nothing - because it’s dark most of the day….

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! Please don’t ruin Cian’s image… of course he is from the 15th century (and of course has perfect white teeth…. he is a druid you know)  Maybe I shouldn’t go to Scotland if all I’m going to be seeing is chicken legs…....

I would be in England, acting out all of my Anglophillic fantasies: taking tea by the fireplace, watching the rain from a window seat, strolling the countryside in Wellingtons, roaming the Halls at Oxford, attacking Darcy as he emerges dripping wet from his lake….(you can do that last part, right? Like, there’s some kind of “Darcy Package” you can sign up for on Expedia, right? right?!)

I live in paradise (beautiful FL). But I recently watched Australia and the scenery was so goregous, I’d love to go there sometime. But I don’t ever want to see snow again, so it has to be someplace temperate.

I’d like to be doing my reading in australia.

I would love to be in Greece….on a beach!

HELLOOOOO….TOKYO!

Oh, man. If I could be anywhere at the moment, it’d be Tokyo. Perfect timing: fall foods rolling out, fall foliage (think of all those Japanese maples).

Anyone want to send me a plane ticket?

Hmm, I wouldn’t mind visiting Australia today.

On the farm in Scotland. The weather probably isn’t as nice there as here, but reading in front of a coal fire is just what I want right now.  RIGHT NOW>

If I had a choice, I’d love to be on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.  But if that’s not foreign enough, I’ll take Australia as my second choice.

I think New Zeland would be my destination.  I would not be doing anything at all, just laying around, reading, relaxing and being lazy.  Yeah, that would be fantastic!

Amy M

I hated Paris last time I was there, but Eloisa James’ tweets have convinced me I should maybe give it another shot. Maybe I can find a flirty butcher too! So Paris is my choice.

Also, I did the exact same thing with All Jacked Up last night—only I found it elsewhere before I gave way to the need to curse on twitter!

Helsinki is where I wanna be.

Let’s go with Tunisia. Those beaches sure looked nice on the London Underground ads.

I’d love to be in Florence. I hear its beautiful this time of year!

Hmmm….New Zealand.  Someday I will go there, I will!!

I’d like to be in Italy! I just visited in September and loved it!

Oh, to be in Ireland right about now. Where the weather’s…actually about as crappy as it is here. But the people talk pretty!

I’d like to be on vacation in Tokyo, where I could get some really good sushi.

Sarah, we’ve all been there,done that.  But thanks for entertaining us!

I am currently in Hawaii.  Sun and surf are fun, but I am teased by the Union Jack in teh Hawaiian State Flag.  Thus, I’d love a bit of the UK right now - Devon, Cornwall, Wales, or Scotland wil do.  Sand castles just don’t compare to crumbling castles.

To be honest, I’d like to be home in snowy Northern BC, Canada. Preferably cuddled under a blanket with my cat, a Bailey’s hot chocolate, and reading a steamy romance in front of a real wood fire.
To me, that is true happiness. :)

I would have to say England. I’ve never visited, but its on my bucket list :)

Israel. Just because I always wanted to go there. Though I’m scared to because of all the conflict.

I vote Belgium, because that’s where I am, and to obtain digital books here is a horrible adventure.

Also I once cost SB Sarah pain in shipping costs, so yay for free digital books!!

I’d like to be in Bora Bora.  Tropical, sunny, balmy breezes with a constant supply of frothy drinks brougt by bare-chested waiters.  Okay, so am I way out there, yet?

Germany to check out the relatives of my great-grandmother.

I would to be in Turkey.

I’d like to be in a small village in Hungary.

Oh, to be in Wales.
Specifically in Cardiff.
Most specifically, drinking a pint of Brains Dark by the fire at The Goat Major….
*sigh*

Would love to be sitting at a cafe in Florence, Italy.

I’d love to be in Scotland reading in a pub snuggled into a warm cardigan next to a toasty fire sipping a single malt.

Wherever I am, I’d like to be asleep.  Toddler, anyone?

I’ll bet I could sleep in Paris.

I would love to be in either Ireland, surrounded by green, hills, men with beautiful accents and blue eyes, and the romance of the land, or in Barbados, because man, BEACH!!

A mostly deserted island in the Bahamas - where TS Ida (or whatever she is now) isn’t - with the roar of the surf, ocean breeze, the sand between the toes and a cabana man who keeps the glass chilled and the umbrella tilted just so…

My uncle’s getting married in St. Lucia in two months…and I can’t go. :( But I would damn well love to be there right now!

Also, Girona, Spain. It’s kind of a “little USA” in that a lot of pro cyclists make it their European home base, but from what I’ve seen, it’s a stunningly pretty town, and I’d love to be strolling its streets and reading in a cafe.

It’s dark out now here in Connecticut; I’d love to be on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in Israel, where it is also dark, but waiting for dawn and sunrise to come.

New Zealand!

Or Chile

Either way, with my mountain bike.

Mmm, such a hard choice. We’re heading into winter, so I’ll say somewhere warm. Cape Town for the win! Gotta give Africa some love.

Heading into winter so I will go with Australia. Never been but it is on my bucket list:)

Since I’m already living in New Zealand, and we did the spectacular South Island trip last Christmas, I gotta say I’d like to visit Rome. With my daughter, because her name is Roma and she’s always wanted to visit her namesake city!

Italy. I would love to be in Florence admiring David’s assets.

Italy—where I hope to live next door to George Clooney one day!?!?

I desperately want to be in Israel. I am Jewish and have never gone and now that I’m disabled probably will never get there. I really want to go!Oh, and I LOVE John Barrowman-singer, dancer, actor, ENTERTAINER! He’s playing Albin/ZAZA in “La Cage Aux Folles” RIGHT now in London-that’s my second choice. SOMEDAY, if I’m very very good, I will get to meet him!

I would love to be in Ireland right now far away from Hurricane Ida and very close to pubs, music, and hot men (have to keep warm you know)!

I would love to be in Jamaica or the Cayman Islands. somewhere hot and sunny with the ocean and ocean breezes and ocean smells. Also with island food.

I’d be in Scotland, cold and all.

Since it was Mom who turned me on to romances when I was but a wee one, it seems fitting that I pick Northern Italy to visit her family.  Plus, pretty scenery at the foot of the Alps and gorgeous Italian men!  Does it get better than that?

Laos.  I’d like to see my brother.

I have always wanted to go to Australia.  And Dublin.  And London.  And, well, everywhere.

As much as I love the idea of being able to ogle kilted hotties in Scotland, I gotta go for somewhere warm!

Sydney, on the roof of the I-House, watching the sun set.  Sigh…

Samoa!! The homeland of my Grandfather, you dig haoli?

Sweden is good. I know, I know, I am odd, but I like Sweden. I have my friends, and family here. No e-reader yet, though. * glares at the e-reader companies*
I would like to read Protecting Phoebe, by Shelly Stevens

I would love, love, love to be in New Zealand right now, reading All Jacked Up and/or For His Eye Only!  Oh, who am I kidding?  I’d love to be on a global cruise reading any

of those books!  That way, I hit all the restricted areas outside of the US and have plenty of time to read whilst traveling. Now let’s see: who can I get to help finance this wonderful vacay idea? xD

I’m having trouble deciding between Japan and Australia. I’ve always wanted to see both places. I’m going to go with Australia, but just because it wouldn’t require as much language prep on my part. I’m lazy like that.

I would love to be in Italy.  I’ve always wanted to visit there. :)

I’d like to be in New Zealand. Right now it’s springtime!

I’d want to be in Japan—-because it’s the farthest away from all the work I have to do right now!!!

I would like to go pretty much anywhere without a war (or population with reason/habit of taking out frustrations on US tourists) but…

Ukraine (family)

runners up in no particular order: India, Japan, Italy, France, UK, New Zealand, Tasmania, Easter Island, Philippines, Argentina, Ecuador, Chile - particularly Patagonia, Jordan (Petra), Egypt, Belgium, Greece, Turkey, Cambodia

I want to see old growth forest, or terrain that is different or see fiber related things (sheep and weaving and spinning and such) or old structures. I don’t travel well so I may as well dream big.

Ireland would be my pick. Rolling green hills and frosty air!

I’d love to be in Wales. Cymru am byth. :)

I would love to be in England.

Wow what a list! Count me in!!

I say Ireland.  Because I could use a luck charm or two.

I’d like to be in Australia.

And “All Jacked Up” was great!

Ha, I am already outside the US, but I’d rather be somewhere warmer, like Okinawa in Japan.

France, Italy or Scotland depending on the time of year….  yeah right! Anytime baby!

Ahhh the beaches of Crete.

I’m in Singapore where any form of Romance book is hard to come by and those you do get are often wrapped in plastic. And no we’re not channeling Twin Peaks! They actually are in plastic. *sigh* That’s if you can get them.
It’s currently 88F/31C and I could do with a little something hot to read while lying by the pool.

Definitely somewhere in the Melanesian Islands, most specifically New Caledonia. I took a class on the Melanesian Islands which I enjoyed very much, it could also be due to the fact that I had an absolutely gorgeous, spank-that-ass professor.

Australia would be amazing now that the weather’s turning cold here.

I’d like to be back in mexico, sipping pina coladas on the beach.

I think I would also like to visit Greece… you know get in touch with a few gods/goddess and perhaps my inner one?  When you think about it there have been wonderful romance books about almost every where… anywhere there’s a cute boy… with another boy could be nice as well…..

I want to be on holiday, on the south coast of NSW about a 90 mins south of Sydney in Kiama. Beautiful weather, beaches and a fabulous blowhole :)
I sooo want to win, I can;t say how many ebooks I can’t buy for Stanza on my iPhone because of geographic restrictions :(
Laughable when I just order them for cheaper from bookdepositry.

Id prefer to live In Ireland or Scottland being in the US seems to be the right thing i love those countries lol

I love to travel and would be happy going anywhere, Though Italy and Paris are favorites!

I’m in Australia, and right now I don’t want to leave it, because Summer’s arriving. I’d prefer to be somewhere other than Sydney, though - perhaps on the north coast of NSW or on the coast in Western Australia, where I’ve never been.

Can’t beat lying by the beach in Australia looking at the tanned men running by whilst sitting back reading a great romance novel.

All of you who want to be in Australia right now - try Queensland.  You wouldn’t want to get stuck in Victoria or SA this week, even in your daydreams ...

Me ... I spent November many years ago in Ushaia, at the VERY bottom of Argentina.  (Tierra del Fuego).  T-shirt weather down in the town, yet snow on the glacier an hour’s hike away.  That’s my pick.

(Hope global warming hasn’t got there first.)

I’d get out of rainy Northern France (briefly) to go to sunny and warm Greece….

For me, Spain! Love all those tall, dark Spaniards! :o) Tamsyn

I want to be in Venice, wandering through the streets and eating gelato.

I would love to be anywhere but here… Getting more specifc, I would love to be in the Caribbean right now, say in Turks & Caicos, sitting on the beach under an umbrella with a drink in hand and a good, trash novel (natch).  *sigh*

New Zealand! Greatest country on earth. I can’t wait to trick them into giving me a work visa. Surely “smut merchant” is on the Absolute Skills Shortage list. Or maybe that’s an Identified Growth Area.

Hmm…right now I’d say Prague. I’ve always dreamed of going there, but haven’t made it yet!

I’d say New Zealand, because I’ve never been there and have always wanted to go.  And if I could go and get some reading done as well, so much the better.

I have always wanted to go to Greece. It’s my dream vacation. One of these days I’ll get there!
