This week's theme for Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is "Books Set in Another Time." Since that is practically all I read that is an easy topic for me! Here are my top ten favorites right now although I think with more time I'd probably change the list constantly.
The link will take you to Goodreads if you are interested in the book. You won't be disappointed in any of these if they are in a genre you enjoy. Happy reading ya'll!
1. The Land Beyond the Sea by Sharon Kay Penman- Crusader period 1100's
2. Voyager by Diana Gabaldon- Scotland/Caribbean 1700's
3. The Falcon of Palermo by Maria R. Bordihn- Sicily 1100's-1200's
4. The Iron King by Maurice Druon- France- 1300's
5. Gracelin O'Malley by Ann Moore- Ireland- 1800's
6. Death of a Stranger by Anne Perry- Victorian England- 1800's
7. Uneasy Lies the Crown by N. Gemini Sasson- Scotland- 13-1400's
8. Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie- England- 1900's
9. Highland Fling by Amanda Scott- Scotland- 1700's
10.Pirates and Patriots by David Field- Elizabethan England- 1500's
I could honestly have a list of 100 or more books here. I absolutely love historical fiction and most of the books I've listed also belong to a series in which all the books are great. This list was hard to whittle down!
The Land Beyond the Sea sounds like a good read.

It's funny you mention that Lydia. I started it again last night because I remembered how much I loved it! I will check out your list today. Thanks :)
DeleteI have not read any of these, but I do have several Agatha Christie's on my shelf I need to read. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI am in the Read Christie challenge which keeps me reading one of her books monthly. Thanks, Cindy, you too! I always check in with you to see all you are reading!
DeleteSame! I'm a huge hist fic lover, although I do tend to stick with books set after 1800 for some reason. I probably need to branch out a bit.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
I totally understand about the time period things. I am a history lover and there are just certain times that appeal to me more than others. Read what you love!!! Do you read Anne Perry novels? They are some of my favorite mysteries set in Victorian Englalnd. And I love Outlander, set in the 1700's. Have a great week Susan!
DeleteI really like historical fiction too. It's hard to pick just a few favorites--and, as you said, my favorites are always changing. There are just so many! It's been ages since I read an Anne Perry book, but there was a time I couldn't get enough of her mysteries. Agatha Christy is another favorite of mine.
