I absolutely LOVE reading books set in countries outside the United States. I like reading, geography, and maps so I make sure to write the location of each book I read in the review and I place my books on a Google map each year. This Top Ten Tuesday is for me!
Looking back through my books I realize how many books I have loved over the years; narrowing this down to 10 was very difficult for me. In fact, I have guilt for leaving books off this list. :-)
