Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want. Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post. Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists. Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Places In Books I’d Love to Live. Forget fictional places, here are some authors’ houses I’d have loved to live in. Follow the links to view more pictures, find out about the history of the houses or, where they are open to the public – in normal times, that is – plan your visit.

Agatha Christie – Greenway, Devon
Jane Austen – Chawton, Alton, Hampshire
