Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is a Books Set in Another Time Period so I took a wander through my TBR and found 10.
1. All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffall - This takes place in a post-apocalyptic New York with a settlement on top of the American Museum of Natural History.
2. The Queens of Crime by Marie Benedict - Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Margery Allingham and more solving crimes in 1930s England and France! I'm so excited about this one.
3. West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge - This takes place in the US in 1938 in such a pivotal time period but is about giraffes. It sounds really good and very unusual.
4. The Stolen Queen by Fiona Davis - This book has multiple timelines - none of which are present day - but both look fascinating.
5. Ace, Marvel, Spy by Jenni L. Walsh- This is set during World War II but sounds very different than any other WWII book I've read before. I'm looking forward to it.
6. The Night Ends With Fire by K.X. Song - This is a fantasy retelling of the Mulan story which makes it in a number of different time periods in addition to sounding absolutely glorious.
7. Born of Gilded Mountains by Amanda Dykes - A haunted and abandoned estate with an actress hiding from a scandal in 1948 Colorado. Yes please!
8. A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters - This mystery series involving a monk solving crimes in the 12th century looks fantastic - and is a long running series so if I love it I'm set!
9. The Berlin Letters by Katherine Reay - Some end of Cold War intrigue sounds like some fun reading and not a time period I visit very often.
10. Emily Wilde's Encloypaedia Of Faeries by Heather Fawcett - early 1900s with faeries!
What books do you want to read from a different time period?
I love the Emily Wilde books; I'm reading the third one right now. And that retelling of Mulan, The Night Ends With Fire, looks amazing. Fun list! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm really stoked about reading The Queens of Crime. Looking forward to it. Also, West With Giraffes - that author is the next to come to that author event series that I talked about recently. Lynda will have her event in late May. Planning on going.
ReplyDeleteI have read your last two, The Berlin Letters and Emily Wilde's Encloypaedia Of Faeries and enjoyed them both. All of your others are on my TBR too!
ReplyDeleteOk now I need to find out what West with Giraffes is about! I love giraffes!!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of many of these on your list but the All the Water in the World very much appeals.
ReplyDeleteMost of these are on my TBR list as well. I hope we both love them!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
I wouldn't have ten books on my TBR set in another time I think. I do have the Heather Fawcett book but all the others are unknown to me. The Berlin Letters could be interesting.
