Top Ten Tuesday: Books Set Outside the US

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme/feature created by The Broke and The Bookish. More information and bookish goodness can be found here!

This is a hard one for me because most of the books I read are set in America. Part of the appeal of books for me is that they’re not set in Australia because I get to read about somewhere I haven’t been before but want to visit. But I managed to find 10 books set outside the United States so here we go!

10 // The Sidekicks by Will Kostakis – Australia
This book was so good and also pretty emotional and I quite liked that it was set in my country.

9 // Love, Lucy by April Lindner – Europe
So I actually kind of hated this novel BUT I did like that it was set in Europe, especially Italy, because as you can see I haven’t read many books set in Europe.

8 // Me Before You by Jojo Moyes – England
Everybody and their mother knows about this book and when I remembered it’s set in England, it HAD to go on this list!

7 // The Messenger by Markus Zusak – Australia
It’s been a while since I read this but I really enjoyed the Sydney setting!

6 // Stolen by Lucy Christopher – Australia & England
I LOVED THIS BOOK and I loved that it was set in the Australian desert because I have never read a book set in the Aussie outback.

5 // Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling – England
Harry Potter is my new favourite series of ever and when I saw this week’s TTT topic, I knew it had to be on the list.

4 // The Book Thief by Markus Zusak – Germany
I adore this book. It was actually the first historical fiction-y book I read as well as the first book I read set in Germany.

3 // Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins – France
This book is ALL OF THE CUTE and the fact that it’s set in Paris just makes it better.

2 // A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab – England
I love V.E. Schwab and I love ADSOM. I think the cool thing about this is it’s set in not just one fantastical London, but four unlike all the others on the list.

1 // One Day by David Nicholls – England
This book broke my heart and I couldn’t resist putting it on this list because it’s set in England but not London and I really like that.
