Top Ten Tuesday : Books Set In ‘X’

TTT

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme where every Tuesday we look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) bookish examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  Top Ten Tuesday (created and hosted by  The Broke and Bookish) is now being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and future week’s topics can be found here.   This week’s topic:

Books Set In ‘X’

    Great selection! Several of these are already on my TBR but I’ll have to steal most of the others.
    Thanks so much for sharing!

        Oh, I will.. it’s more a question of ‘when.’ Thank you and I hope you have a lovely weekend. 🌹😊

    The Shining is the perfect choice for a wintry read, and so creepy as well. I always feel like rereading it around this time of year but might put Misery onto my TBR this time instead as I haven’t actually read that before.

    I didn’t realise Emily Wilde was a winter-themed book. Looks like I need to get around to that one soon as well. Great list 😀

      I loved the Emily White book – she basically travels to a very cold place to undertake research. The Shining was a cracking read for this time of year and I enjoyed it more than I expected (having already seen the film – I don’t usually read the book once I’e watched the adaptation but it was really good.

    I love wintery books, even if I don’t want to BE in the winter myself, lol. I’ve read a few of these but really want to read Mistletoe.

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      Yes,I’m with you – I like snowy reads, and pictures, but I don’t really want to be in the cold!

    I hate the cold, but some of these books sound great!

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      I’m not overly fond of being cold but I don’t mind reading about it.

    Hi Lynn, I like the look of your books with wintry settings, in particular I would like to read Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries and The Snow Child.
    Blessings, Jessica 💌

      Those are two fantastic choices and, I think, would be perfect for you.
      Lynn 😀
