King Arthur Movie Tristan

This week, take us on a literary tour of your hometown!


Do you live in a place where a famous author was born? Does your town have any cool literary museums or monuments? Does Stephen King live at the end of your street? Was Twilight set in your hometown?


Share your fun literary facts about the town or area where you live. You can talk about famous (or not so famous) authors who live there, novels that have been set in your area, or any other literary facts that you know about where you live. Feel free to embellish with pictures of places and/or authors, maps of the area, and fun facts about the authors.

What a fun idea for WG. Well, Stephen King sadly does not live at the end of my street. But other famous authors are from the Garden State. Above is a photo of the Great Falls, which is in my hometown.



Authors from New Jersey:

Judy Blume (Elizabeth)

Author of YA books like Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret and Then Again, Maybe I Won't.





James Fenimore Cooper (Burlington).

His most famous novel is The Last of the Mohicans.











Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books are set in New Jersey.

Watch out, world. Here comes Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter with attitude. In Stephanie's opinion, toxic waste, rabid drivers, armed schizophrenics, and August heat, humidity, and hydrocarbons are all part of the great adventure of living in Jersey.

What about you? Do you have any fun literary facts about your hometown?
