This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books to Read During a Storm. I think during a storm you want to feel safe so my list contains books set in places that might keep you secure. Links from the title will take you to my review.

A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering by Andrew Hunter Murray – if you’ve nowhere to shelter just break into the second home of a wealthy person while they are away
The Household by Stacey Halls – a house in a secret location offers refuge for prostitutes, petty thieves and the destitute
Sanctuary Motel by Alan Orloff – Mess Hopkins throws open the doors of his motel to the homeless, victims of abuse, or anyone else who could benefit from a comfy bed with clean sheets and a roof over their head
