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?
