I just finished "The Two Family House"  set in Brooklyn, in the 50's & 60's.

Just read that one myself about a month ago and it was so good.  Never imagined something like that.

From the YA series of "Betsy-Tacy" I want to live on Hill Street with Betsy and her family.

The whole town of Deep Valley is still a welcome place for me--- lol. I have curled up with the books (in particular her high school books) on cold days, blah days and settle in.

I'd be on a plantation in pre-Civil War Alabama.  Part of a wonderful first novel called "The Wedding Gift".
