Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Top Ten Tuesday was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Below are ten works of fiction I would like to read that are set in places on my travel bucket list. The books are not listed in any order of importance.1. Sarum by Edward Rutherfurd (England)
2. Manila Noir by Jessica Hagedorn, et al (Philippines)
3. The Source by James A. Michener (the Holy Land)
4. The Man from St. Petersburg by Ken Follett (Russia)
5. The Last Train to Key West by Chanel Cleeton (Key West, Florida)
6. Santa Fe Mourning by Amanda Allen (Santa Fe, New Mexico)
7. When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton (Cuba)
8. Alaska by James A. Michener
9. The Last Letter from Sicily by Lindsay Marie Morris (Sicily, Italy)
10. Russka by Edward Rutherfurd (Russia)
Have you read any of the above novels? Which novel should I read first?
I remember reading The Source way back when and loving it, I think it's worth a reread too, thanks for the reminder. The Last Train to Key West, I thought was great as well, based on a real storm in Florida.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with me your thoughts. Glad to hear you loved The Source.
DeleteCuba seems like a lovely place to visit. I read Alaska years ago and really liked it, so my vote is to start there.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you enjoyed Alaska!

DeleteMichener and Rutherfurd are a real challenge for today's attention spans. It's so nice to see someone wanting to read them--excellent! I've only read the Chanel Cleeton tho I've read other Micheners, Lisa of Hopewell https://hopewellslibraryoflife.wordpress.com/2026/04/07/top-ten-tuesday-books-about-set-in-places-on-my-bucket-list-submitted-by-rachel-sunny-side/
