Fictional World Travel Challenge
Hosted by: Between Library Shelves
Today’s challenge is to list 3 to 6 books of fiction that take place in countries other than the one where you currently reside. I’m excited about this one because I’ve read so many wonderful books that are set in other countries, and I can’t wait to introduce you to them 🙂
The Thorn Bearer by Pepper D. Basham
(England)
Safely Home by Randy Alcorn
(China)
For Such A Time by Kate Breslin
(Czechoslovakia)
*Personal Note: This book has been the subject of some controversy lately but I would encourage everyone to read it for themselves before forming an opinion. Controversy can lead to discussion, which can lead to healing. Hate, however, leads to nothing productive. The hate being directed at this book and its author saddens me greatly. We as readers should have better words at our disposal. ~Carrie*
The Butterfly and the Violin by Kristy Cambron
(Poland)
The Healer’s Apprentice by Melanie Dickerson
(Germany)
Five Days in Skye by Carla Laureano
(Scotland)

Thanks so much for your comment on my post! I really like your picks even though I’ve only read two of them (The Butterfly and The Violin, The Healer’s Apprentice.) I did enjoy them both and I just got Five Days in Skye from my local library, really looking forward to reading it! Happy Reading, Caitlyn 😀
James from Five Days is one of my very favorite book heroes!! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Great choices! Whenever I think of a book set in another country I always think of Daughter of Smoke and Bone, which was one of my choices. I just love Taylor’s descriptions of Prague and Morocco. Thanks for sharing and visiting my blog!
I need to add that to my TBR list – thanks for the recommendation! 🙂
Great list! I haven’t read any of these, but I love the looks of the Five Days in Skye one. I love Scotland!
