Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.

I love this collection of books. I read Animal Life a couple of years ago, and have The White Girl on my TBR.

The Good Earth was a good read.

Strangely although I read and reviewed it years ago it’s still the review that gets the most views!

My sister has visited Iceland a couple of times and I’m quite jealous.

A great selection Cathy. It’s been a while since I read a Pearl S Buck book but I think I may have read your choice.

I’ve visited Ireland, but none of the other countries on your list. I also picked books set in places I’ve never been to, although I’m very unlikely to ever visit any of mine!

I’ve read one of the books on your list – The Predicament – and I have been to Guatemala, although only a one day stop on a cruise.

I hope you get to one or more of these places eventually
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
