This week's topic is: Ten Books Set Outside The US
*in no particular order
1. OLD MAGIC by Marianne Curley--one of my most favorite reads! And it takes place in Australia!
2. ILLUMINAE by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff--this takes place on another planet and then SPACE!! So not the US! LOL!
3. THE NAME OF THE STAR by Maureen Johnson--hello London!! And creepy ghosty mysteries!!
4. CHANGELESS by Gail Carriger--normally, Alexia is in London, but in this one, she goes to Scotland!!
5. ENCHANTED by Alethea Kontis--Arilland is another country/world entirely! With fantasy worlds you are definitely nowhere near the US!
6. GRETA AND THE GOBLIN KING by Chloe Jacobs--Greta has spent a good portion of her life in Mylena when she jumped in to save her younger brother. Here the world is ruled by goblins and humans are definitely out numbered and out classed!
7. THE IRON KING by Julie Kagawa--now while Meghan does start out her journey in the US, she quickly crosses into the world of the Fey, which is a very dangerous place indeed!
8. POISON STUDY by Maria V. Snyder--with fantasy worlds, as you learn, you're far from anything resembling the US! Yelena crosses back and forth between two countries, Ixia and Sitia in this series as a whole! And it's so awesome!
9. FALLING KINGDOMS by Morgan Rhodes--Mytica is another continent that's so very far from the US!
10. DOROTHY MUST DIE by Danielle Paige--hello Oz!
And let's not forget this one:
