Top Ten Tuesday ~ Another time

      

"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.

Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.

This week's topic is Books Set in Another Time (These can be historical, futuristic, alternate universes, or even in a world where you’re not sure when it takes place you just know it’s not right now.)

This is a tough one. I love historical fiction but I have also read quite a few dystopian books that take place in another world. I don't want to repeat the same titles over and over, therefore I have chosen the last ten historical fiction novels I read. I have added the approximate times of the stories.
