Our nonfiction pick for May 2020 is Atlas Obscura by Joshua Foer.

Prepare to travel the world without ever leaving your home! Join us as we explore hundreds of places all over the globe, from the ancient ruins in South America to the deserts of Africa and the caves of New Zealand. This version is the second edition, with over 100 new places to explore!

This choice was really just meant to be a fun distraction for us all while we were unable to leave the house. I thought for sure that I would have visited *at least* one of these places in my life...but I couldn't find one that I've seen!

As a general rule, anything found in Japan is on my list (hello, Ghibli Museum), but I think I have to draw the line at the Village of Dolls, which seems more like the start of a horror novel gone wrong.

Has anyone actually managed to visit any of the places mentioned in the book? Where would you like to visit?
