Top 5 Tuesday ~ on a Wednesday ~ Mysterious Houses

Top Five Tuesday was originally created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, but is now hosted by Meeghan @ Meeghan Reads. To participate, link your post back to Meeghan’s blog or leave a comment on her weekly post. I found this on Davida's Page @ The Chocolate Lady.

And here is a list of all the topics for the rest of the year.

This week’s topic is Mysterious Houses.

As I said last week, I'm not a big fantasy reader. So, my mysterious houses might not be the same as those of other bloggers. Northanger Abbey tells us of an old house and a family with (maybe) secrets. Jonathan Strange ... well, we have two magicians here. North Woods is indeed a house with a long history and lots of stories. And The Clockmaker's Daughter makes the house mysterious. The most mysterious one is maybe The Chibineko Kitchen where we can get connected to the dead.

Clarke, Susanna "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" - 2004

Mason, Daniel "North Woods" - 2023

Morton, Kate "The Clockmaker's Daughter" - 2018

Takahashi, Yuta "The Chibineko Kitchen" (J: ちびねこ亭の思い出ごはん 黒猫と初恋サンドイッチ/Chibinekoteino omoidegohan kuronekoto hatsukoisandoitchi) - 2020

  1. I have read Austen and Morton and these books are great. I have Clarke's book at home, not yet read, but looking forward to dive into it.

    1. It certainly is the most "fantastic" of those books. As you know, not my normal genre but this was quite good. Thanks for your visit, Lisbeth, have a nice weekend.

  2. I don't typically read fantasy either, just not interesting to me. My books about houses would definitely involve hauntings.
