Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the girls over at The Broke and the Bookish, where bloggers get together and list the top ten things related to that week's topic.
- Set in a dome - Steel Lily by Megan Curd
I don't like dome settings much, but I love this. I think they have to be done in a certain way, otherwise they're just a bit boring and ridiculous (cough, Breathe, cough). Curd did it perfectly, and I'm a big fan of this series. - Set in a believable dystopian world - Delirium by Lauren Oliver
I can kind of imagine a future Earth where love is considered a disease - where the government sets everyone up with their own partners and how emotions are kept in check. It wouldn't happen for centuries of course, but I can kind of imagine it. - Set in England - Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
SHADOWHUNTERS IN ENGLAND, YAY! - Set partially in Heaven or Hell - Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
I really like this setting, and I'm not entirely sure why. I'm going to blame this on my Supernatural obsession. - Set in a foreign country - Just One Day by Gayle Forman
It's set in France and I honestly have never wanted to visit the country more than when I was reading this book. - Set in a mental hospital - Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen
Is it weird to say that I like books with mental illnesses as a key theme? Yeah? Oh well. - Set mainly in a car - Saving June by Hannah Harrington
I want to go on a road trip across America - but alas I cannot, so I'm doing the next best thing; reading books about it. - Set in a boarding school - Prep School Confidential by Kara Taylor
Everyone who goes to a boarding school complains about going to a boarding school, but I find it intriguing. I've always wondered what it'd be like, living with a bunch of other teens my age for weeks on end - I'm sure it'd drive me crazy, but I still find it interesting. - Set in the 20th century - Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
It's half set in 20th-century France, and half set in the modern day. Still counts though, right? - Set during a World War - The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
I'm pretty sure this book makes the cut most weeks. It's good, sue me.
This list has taken me about an hour to write - I couldn't think of anything! So what was on your list? Any similarities? And don't forget to enter the giveaway. (Going through the hop, it's obvious that I did completely the wrong thing - oops!)

I have some of these on my list too! My setting was Europe. I agree with Delirium, it's one of my favorite dystopian books.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday.
Delirium is wonderful all-round! I love books set in Europe, since I understand that different terms and cultures.
DeleteYou picked a wide variety of settings and focused on the really good books. I like it.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten List of Books Set in Libraries.
I did it completely wrong, but I'm glad you liked it ^^
DeleteI LOVE your interpretation of this week's topic. I didn't even think of picking a different setting for each number. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Thank you! I feel slightly embarrassed that no one else did this (I think), but thank you :D
DeleteThese are all great settings! I love that you chose from a different variety of places instead of just one. :) I haven't read many of these books, but it looks like I might have to now!
ReplyDeleteAll of these books are great, I promise!
DeleteI like how you chose a variety of different settings for this week's topic! Prep School Confidential was so fun to read, and I loved watching the masterful way two worlds weave together in Revolution. Books set in England are the best (I love building my British vocabulary), so I am now a bit more likely to pick up Clockwork Angel. :)
ReplyDeleteI like books set in England just because I actually understand place references - you have no idea how confused I used to be with what a homeroom was!
DeleteYou named so many of my favorite books! By the way, I'm currently reading Steel Lily, and I'm glad to hear you loved it!

DeleteWhat a great variety of settings and books!
