Maybe something about living vicariously through the book characters? The only book set in Iceland I've read is "Burial Rites" (which was amazing). Do you have any other recommendations?Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065930972046877154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-72656017677622045982017-05-13T18:11:25.180-10:002017-05-13T18:11:25.180-10:00Thanks for all the recommendations!!!

I have read and loved "Ready Player One" and "Circling the Sun" (two books that made me want more '80s books and based-in-fact fiction, respectively!) and I enjoyed the two Liane Moriarty books I've read -- I can't believe I forgot all about her when mentioning Australia. I will most definitely check out your other suggestions, though! I think I've had "The Orphan Master's Son" on my to-read list for years now. Now that things are heating up in that part of the world, it'd probably be the perfect time to finally get around to reading it.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065930972046877154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-63545696439307716652017-05-13T18:08:23.845-10:002017-05-13T18:08:23.845-10:00I haven't read the book yet (it's coming u...I haven't read the book yet (it's coming up in a few months in my book club) but "The Lie Tree" is a YA book that I'm pretty sure features a young female scientist.

If you like the 80s, I know of a book coming out July 11 that centers around a couple of friends trying to reunite an 80s band. Disclaimer, it's my book lol Chasing Eveline.<br /><a href="https://lesliehauser.com/top-ten-tuesday-reading-wishlist/" rel="nofollow">My TTT</a><br />Leslie<br />LH27https://www.blogger.com/profile/17721514278620620201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-52718419220352956022017-05-10T05:37:16.314-10:002017-05-10T05:37:16.314-10:00I recommend Paula McLain's newer book, Circlin...I recommend Paula McLain's newer book, Circling the Sun, which is about Beryl Markham. Did you ever read Ready Player One? It's not set in the 80s but there's a ton of 80s pop culture references in it. For thrillers, I highly recommend Peter Swanson. I think I've got the same thriller fatigue that you do, but the 2 of his I've read were pretty refreshingly unpredictable. I second Liane Moriarty for Australia. I also like Melina Marchetta but she writes teen books, which I know you're not crazy about. For women scientists, I'd suggest Radioactive by Lauren Redniss, which is about the Curies, the work and their relationship, and it's beautifully illustrated. Oh, and The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson for North Korea.3goodratshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352969901692029558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-48574528586395193842017-05-09T21:09:08.710-10:002017-05-09T21:09:08.710-10:00Come to think of it, I've only ever read Europ...Come to think of it, I've only ever read European books set in UK, France and Germany!Vedika @ Poems and Poetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897669780777070634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-31396532355795219902017-05-09T12:37:50.126-10:002017-05-09T12:37:50.126-10:00I would definitely love more of #8, I've been ...I would definitely love more of #8, I've been getting more into adult fantasy recently and would definitely like to read more in the vein of VE Schwab.<br />My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2017/05/09/top-ten-tuesday-106/iloveheartlandXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040647634981408350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-79257988335951812082017-05-09T08:56:25.349-10:002017-05-09T08:56:25.349-10:00Books set in the 80s and 90s are so fun to read (a...Books set in the 80s and 90s are so fun to read (and cringe through when I think about some of the "fashion")Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161977012468397219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-47167994176696332002017-05-09T08:23:05.487-10:002017-05-09T08:23:05.487-10:00I love books inspired by real people.

I've never really thought about how many of the books I read are set in either England or France. Somewhere else in Europe would be fascinating. And seriously what is about books in cold places? I can't stand being cold IRL but if a book is set in Sweden or Iceland I can't get it on my TBR fast enough!
