It’s time for Top Ten Tuesday. It’s hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. Do visit this fun blog and read all the other lists.This week is Top Ten Tuesday REWIND — go back and do a topic you missed over the years or recently or a topic you really want to revisit. I’m revisiting a recent Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Books Set Outside The US. My list is a bit Great Britain heavy. And I picked books that I’ve read recently (Last 5 years-ish).
Top Ten Books Set Outside The US:
The Harry Potter Series (Great Britain) I just listed the series since alone it would take up the entire list.
In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware (Great Britain)
In the Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Lucia Graves
The Tiger’s Wife by Téa Obreht (The Balkans)
City of Dark Magic by Magnus Flyte (Prague)
The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim (Italy)
Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters (Great Britain)
The Painted Girls by Cathy Marie Buchanan (France)
Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho (Great Britain)
Crazy Rich Asians & China Rich Girlfriend by Kevin Kwan (China/Hong Kong) I listed both of these because both are crazy fun reads.
What are some of your favorite books set outside of the USA? Have you read any of the books on my list? What did you do for Top Ten Tuesday this week? Let me know in the comments below!

I liked it a lot. It’s one of my favorite books that I’ve read this year. If you like magical realism and fairy tales, you will probably like it.

How did you like City of Dark Magic? I’m remember being intrigued because I love Prague, but I don’t remember much other than that when I first came across it

What a lovely selection of book, Loreen:) I have to confess to only having read the Harry Potter series – but Sorcerer to the Crown and City of Dark Magic are on my To Get list. Thank you for sharing.

Sorcerer to the Crown is one of my favorite reads of the year. It’s been a while since I read City of Dark Magic so I think I may need to re-read it soon.

Nice list, I’d like to read a book set in Prague. The Balkans too- don’t think I ever have.

I hadn’t ever read a book set in the Balkans either. And I really loved the book.

Crazy Rich Asians is such a good, light, fluffy summer read. It’s a story about crazy rich people in Hong Kong which is a place I haven’t read a lot about.
