Take ten: books that take place in another country


I do believe some of my most favorite stories take place in another country, so this is an easy list for me.;) If you would like to learn more about the book, just click the image to go to Amazon. This post does contain affiliate links (thanks for supporting my book habit!;))

1. Close to You

I loved this one! I mean, it's set in Hobbiton (in New Zealand, in cause you aren't a nerd married to a nerd. lol)and has a gorgeous romance, need I say more?;)

2. Then There Was You

I related a lot to Paige, and love that she travels to Australia, a country that has a piece of my heart.;)

3. Harvest of Rubies

This one is set in ancient Persia.

4. Garden of Madness

I loved the books I read in this series, since it is about the Seven ancient wonders of the world. This one featured Solomon's handing gardens.

5. Emma

Because my list isn't complete without an Austen on it.;)

6. The Bronte Plot

I loved that this one is not only set in England, but also has the characters go on a literary tour!

7. The Hawthorne House series

This one is just an excellent Regency series set in England. I could of made this more challenging and limited myself to one book per country, but I may not of been able to come up with 10.;)

8. The French Twist series

Granted, it has been a while since I read this series (and yes, the cover of this one is not set in another country, I realize that;)), but I really enjoyed the baker having a chance to live in France.

9. The Giftsnatcher

This one makes a lot of my lists, because it was so incredibly well written and totally out of my normal genre, with having elements of magic in with the story of Jack the Ripper.

10. There You'll Find Me

Set in Ireland, this is a humorous, yet deep, YA story.

Just because:
Harry Potter


The Chronicles of Narnia

They are kind of in England.;) I just had to fit them in!

So, that's my list for the week! I look forward to seeing what you all have on yours!

    1. I feel the same way! I originally had them as part of the actual list, then I decided that they needed to not be numbered, since I put them on most of my lists.;)
