Top Ten

I thought I'd participate in this interesting Tuesday meme about the Top Ten book set in a different time. Most of mine are probably historical fiction as opposed to futuristic genre.  Here are ten of my absolute FAVE books set in a different time. My two absolute faves are Les Miserables and The Light of the Midnight Stars.

1. I read Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet before I started posting book reviews.  It's phenomenal. Highly recommend. 

2. One of the best books I've ever read. A fairy tale type book all about good vs evil and light vs dark. My review is here. 

3. Les Miserables. Truly the best piece of literature on the planet. It endures. I've read the entire thing twice and seen the musical ad nauseum. LOVE LOVE LOVE all the symbolism, etc.  Of course I read it long before blogs were a thing. 

4.  Can't say enough about this amazing WW2  historical fiction. If you've never read it, you need to! Yes the movie is good but the book is way better. 

5. I read this one at the beginning of January. Set in 1909. Absolutely stunning piece of writing.

6. Read this last year and it was fantastic! Amanda was a new to me author.  Set during the 1800s and early 20th century. Much symbolism in this book, as well!

7. Another fairy tale for adults based on Hansel and Gretel.  HIGHLY recommend this. Set in 1650

8. An amazing story set in two time periods: the 1800s and mid 21st century. LOVED this one. 

9. Another great literary piece. Deep, meaningful. read it!! Set in the 1920s. 

10.  A treasure of a book.  Again, movie is good but book is far better. 

I also thoroughly enjoyed and recommend if you like books that are more literary and "deep":

The Thirteenth Tale set in the 1890s-1970s. author is Diane Setterfield. 

Once Upon a River (by same author as above). 

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

I could keep listing books but am out of time!

I hope there are some on this list you have read! 

If there is, leave a comment as to which one(s).
