Top Ten Tuesday – MY TOP 10 FAVORITE READS SET OUTSIDE OF THE U.S.
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Top Ten Tuesday has been one of my favorite memes ever since I started blogging, so huge thanks to Jana for taking over the hosting duties!
This week’s TTT topic is Top Ten Books That Take Place In Another Country. I live in the U.S. and I love to read books that are set in other countries. Not only is a great way to learn about other cultures, etc, but It also helps to somewhat satisfy my wanderlust because reading these books is like traveling without a passport. That said, here are some of my favorite reads that have non-U.S. settings.
