Hi friends,

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Today’s theme is: Books Set in/Take Place During X (Pick a place, time, era, etc. Examples: Books set in Europe/Italy/Australia/Chicago, books set in Regency England, books that take place during the 1900s, books set in imaginary worlds/post-apocalyptic/dystopian worlds, books set on the ocean, books set it castles, books that take place during WW2, etc.)

I have currently two favorite time periods: the Victorian era and World War Two (WWII) but I am slightly more obsessed with WWII.

And I will share my favorites with you, probably with a longer list than ten! Sorry not sorry!

Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark T Sullivan , The Bletchley Riddle by Ruta Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin, The Beantown Girls by Jane Healey, The Spitfire Girls by Soraya M Lane, The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris, From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon.

  • Beneath a scarlet sky cover. Red sky and a dark town silhouetted
  • The Beantown Girls cover with three women dressed in WWII uniforms on a green truck.
  • The Tattooist of Auschwitz cover: a man and a woman from the back arm in arm dressed in the dark brown of concentration camp prisoners.
  • From Sand and Ash cover. A woman's profile above an Italian city.

Radar Girls by Sara Ackerman, The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys, The Rose Code by Kate Quinn, Band of Sisters by Lauren Gillig.

  • Radar Girls book cover with two women in WWII uniform sitting on a plane.

And last but not least… Sisters of the Resistance by Christine Wells and The Huntress by Kate Quinn.

  • Sisters of the resistance book cover with two woman perspective from above one wearing a dark blue dress and the other a bright red one, all with a couture feel.
  • The Huntress: a woman in black with clothes from the fifties on a black and white background

Thanks for reading!
