Ten Books Set Outside the US

 

1.

While the book starts off in the US, Etta and Nicholas spend most of the book traveling from country to country, with places in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

 

2.

All of the places visited here are London, but different versions set in different worlds.

 

3.

Even though it does have fantasy elements, it's still set in a futuristic dystopian China, France, Sahara Desert, and Moon.

 

4.

I'd say that being set in outer space would be pretty outside of the US.

 

5.

This is the only book I've read set in Scotland, and I hope to find more set there as it's incredibly beautiful!

 

6.

I don't know of any other books set in Norway, but I'd like to find more.

 

7.

I really loved this series and it's set in England, the South Pacific, and Scotland in total.

 

8.

Yes, the first book is set in Philadelphia, but the second and third are set in France and Egypt respectively.

 

9.

I loved this series, as it was set in Imperial Russia, a setting that I'm absolutely obsessed with.

 

10.

Even though it begins in Texas, I'd say that it's mostly set in Wonderland, and I loved the creepiness of it.

 

So here are some of the books I've read that are set outside of the US. I have read a few more, but overall I haven't read that many. I'm hoping to read more books set in new places.

Top Ten Tuesday #23

This week is our Top Ten books we've read so far this year! As of today, I have read 47 books, and my goal for this year is 50. I'd say things have been going pretty well! I've started and finished multiple series this year, so if it was a series I loved, I'll only post the first book.

 

10.

Ensnared by A.G. Howard

I actually felt bad for Jeb (just a tiny bit). I still don't like him though. Team Morpheus all the way! SOO excited for Untamed!!

 

9.

Fairest by Marissa Meyer

Levana is one screwed up person, yet I felt so bad for her. I didn't realize how much her and Cinder had in common, and how that will affect things in Winter. Just a little more than 4 months, and it's a week before my birthday! Early birthday present? Yes.

 

8.

The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski

This book was such a rollercoaster! I just wanted to reach into the book, grab Arin and Kestrel, and force them to be honest with one another! Gah! And the ending! I'll be crying until The Winner's Kiss comes out!

 

7.

Stone Cold Touch by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Amazing follow up to White Hot Kiss! I was SOOO mad at Roth in this book! Zayne was nice, but he just seems too perfect and doesn't accept Layla's demon-half, even though he says he does. Still mad about the cover change.

 

6.

The Falconer by Elizabeth May

Such a kick ass girl! I'm so excited that the sequel comes out the day after my birthday, but I don't know if that's the US version as well. Anyone know?

 

5.

The Cage by Megan Shepherd

An amazing start to her second series! It sucked it me from the very beginning. I still trust no one.

 

4.

The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows

I actually posted the review for this just yesterday. Full of action, magic, and mystery and I loved it! However, I don't think I can wait too long with THAT ENDING! GAH!!

 

3.

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Hot damn! That is all I can say. I absolutely love Rhys. Yeah, he's an asshole, but he's my asshole. SOOOOO excited for the sequel!

 

2.

Incarnate by Jodi Meadows

I read this book and I immediately fell in love. Why did I wait so long! I LOVED this trilogy, so I'll only post this one. BTW, if anyone knows where I can find a hardcover copy, I will love you forever.

 

1.

Strange and Ever After by Susan Dennard

It's nothing new that I am a huge fan of Sooz, so of course this book would be on my list, even with that ending. THAT ENDING! My heart still hurts.

 
There are a few more amazing books that I read this year, but this is just ten of them! It's been a great year so far and there are still so many fantastic books that have yet to be released!

Top Ten Tuesday #18

This week is a freebie, so chose the top ten books that I would sell my first born child to have right now!
 

10.

I know this book already came out, but I haven't been able to get my hands on it yet! I've heard great things and I need it now!!

 

9.

I want to add that I hate these new covers. Just sayin' the other ones were better. I still need to read the second book, but it's JLA so it'll be perfection!

 

8.

I still need to read the third book, but this series is super cool! I still need to catch up on the Parasol Protectorate series, but this is a nice YA version of it!

 

7.

I can't wait to get to know Winter! I just seems so fascinating and tormented and I can't wait to get in her mind! And a happy ending would be great too!

 

6.

I really like this trilogy, not as much as her Chemical Garden trilogy, but it's still great! I want to know what happens between Internment and the world below! And I love Pen!

 

5.

This is the UK cover, but I don't know if it will look different for the US version. The ending of The Falconer was so crazy and I need the sequel to know what will happen!

 

4.

I plan on started Ensnared later today, and I know that I'll be desperate for this book once I finish!

 

3.

I about cried after the ending of The Winner's Crime! I'm so mad at Tensen and I just want Kestrel and Arin to be together!

 

2.

Some queenly shit better be going down or I'll have to punch someone! And, pretty please, a Celaena and Chaol reunion! I don't want to give up!

 

1.

This book was supposed to come out at the end of this year, but it got pushed back! Sob! It's Susan Dennard, so of course I'll love it!

 

I need these books, like, yesterday! I can't wait for all of these books and am super excited!

Heiress. Debutant. Murderer. A new generation of heroines has arrived. Edinburgh, Scotland, 1844 Lady Aileana Kameron, the only daughter of the Marquess of Douglas, was destined for a life carefully planned around Edinburgh’s social events – right up until a faery killed her mother. Now it’s the 1844 winter season and Aileana slaughters faeries in secret, in between the endless round of parties, tea and balls. Armed with modified percussion pistols and explosives, she sheds her aristocratic facade every night to go hunting. She’s determined to track down the faery who murdered her mother, and to destroy any who prey on humans in the city’s many dark alleyways. But the balance between high society and her private war is a delicate one, and as the fae infiltrate the ballroom and Aileana’s father returns home, she has decisions to make. How much is she willing to lose – and just how far will Aileana go for revenge?
