Hi all! I hope you\u2019ve all had a good week since I last did one of these. I\u2019ve had a lovely relaxing week up in Scotland, mostly chilling and catching up on TV and it\u2019s been really nice, I am not ready to head back home tomorrow and be back in work on Thursday (well I\u2019m ready to go home but I\u2019m not ready to go back to work!). It has on the whole been a very chill week but I did head out to Glasgow last night to see the UK tour cast of Hamilton, who were incredible. Hamilton is such a brilliant show and they were a really great cast so I\u2019m glad I got the chance to see it, and for a much cheaper price than I\u2019ve paid in London before (admittedly last minute discount rate). <\/p>\n

Anyway it\u2019s Tuesday and time for another Top Ten Tuesday, courtesy of Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week\u2019s topic is meant to be Modern Books That You Think Will Be Classics In The Future, but honestly I\u2019m not really a big classics reader anyway, so I don\u2019t think that this one is really for me. I think classics, I think the boring books I had to study in school and I don\u2019t really want to think of any of my favourite books like that. Coming up with alternative ideas for these gets harder and harder though the more of them that I do. Since I\u2019m currently up in Scotland, I thought that Books Set In Scotland would be a fun one to do-I don\u2019t actually know how many of these I\u2019ll have, it might be a short list but I thought I\u2019d try anyway and as far as I\u2019m aware, it\u2019s not a topic I\u2019ve done before. So here we go, Books Set In Scotland:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Frozen Charlotte-Alex Bell<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Isle of Skye provides a suitably eerie backdrop for this horror story, and though it\u2019s not somewhere I\u2019ve ever been (I have been to some of the Scottish Isles before but not Skye), Bell created a very vivid and spooky picture of the island in her book: because why wouldn\u2019t a creepy old schoolhouse on a craggy cliffside be home to some disturbing dolls? I\u2019m not usually a horror reader but I really enjoyed this one and the setting was a big part of that.<\/p>\n

    2. City of Ghosts-VE Schwab<\/p>\n

    The first book in the Cassidy Blake series takes place in Edinburgh and it\u2019s a great setting for a series all about ghosts. Edinburgh is one of my favourite cities in the world and it\u2019s clear how much VE Schwab loves it too, she captures the feel of the city so well on the page and it was very fun seeing Cass and her family explore these places that I know so well in real life.<\/p>\n

    3. The Pearl Thief-Elizabeth Wein<\/p>\n

    This prequel to Code Name Verity follows a younger Julie and so naturally is set in Scotland as that is where her family is from-though I can\u2019t actually remember where exactly her family estate is, I think somewhere in the Highlands, not somewhere I\u2019ve ever been in real life so it wasn\u2019t a setting that was familiar but it was great to see a beloved character on her home soil here.<\/p>\n

    4. Fire Storm-Andrew Lane (Young Sherlock Holmes #4)<\/p>\n

    I absolutely devoured this series when I was a teenager and was kind of sad that the author never finished the series-or at least as far as I\u2019m aware he didn\u2019t, I stopped reading after about the seventh book as I had kind of grown out of them. This one was a fun one, set in Edinburgh as Sherlock and his friend Matty hunt down his tutor and his daughter Virginia who have gone missing.<\/p>\n

    5. One Day-David Nicholls<\/p>\n

    Okay time to be upfront: I absolutely hated this book. I didn\u2019t get along with it at all, Emma and Dex are characters that utterly infuriate me. However, Edinburgh does play a big role in the story with Emma and Dex meeting the night of their graduation from the university, and the story returns to the city at fairly significant moments throughout so it felt fitting to put here, even if I didn\u2019t totally love the book.<\/p>\n

    6. The Song Rising-Samantha Shannon<\/p>\n

    It must seem like all the Scottish based books I read take place in Edinburgh and honestly\u2026.yeah, that does feel kind of accurate! This book moves around a fair bit, partly in London, partly in Manchester, but a decent chunk takes place in Edinburgh, including a very cool section in the Edinburgh Vaults. It\u2019s fun to see how the Scottish voyants differ and to learn about a whole new different community of voyants. It would be cool if the series returned to Edinburgh at some point because I really loved the sections set there in this book.<\/p>\n

    7. The Enigma Game-Elizabeth Wein<\/p>\n

    Another Elizabeth Wein Scottish set book! Again, I don\u2019t know exactly where this is set and I think the town itself may be fictional, it\u2019s set in pub near an airfield in northeast Scotland, but it\u2019s a lovely, cosy, atmospheric place and the sense of community Wein creates in the book is great. It\u2019s a nice addition to the Code Name Verity world and I loved the characters.<\/p>\n

    And there we have it, Books Set In Scotland for you! I wish I had a few more honestly, but much as I love it as a setting, it\u2019s not one I see in a ton of books I read-and no I never have read Outlander, despite my love for the TV series. If anyone has any recommendations of great Scottish set books, I would happily take them. Have you read any of these? Let me know in the comments!<\/p>\n

    I\u2019ll be back next week with another Top Ten Tuesday, it\u2019s the annual Thanksgiving freebie so this Brit will once again have to try and scrape the very bottom of the barrel for Thanksgiving\/Thankful related topics that I haven\u2019t done over the past ten years! <\/p>\n
