Top Ten Tuesday: Historical and Futuristic Settings

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and The Bookish

This week we are talking about Historical and Futuristic settings. I decided to split the list because maaaaaan was it hard to pick 10 of just one of those. I really enjoy reading books set in both settings, so you will get 8 historical and 2 futuristic. Here we gooooo. 

1. Westward Expansion
   • ex: Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson
2. Wild Wild West (like cowboys and adventures and such)
   • ex: Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman
3. Life on the prairie/plains
   • ex: my favorite childhood series EVER…Little House by Laura Ingalls Wilder
4. Medieval (Kings, Queens, Knights, all that fun stuff)
   • Ex: The Storyspinner by Becky Wallace
5. WWII
   • Ex: Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
6. 1960’s/1970’s America (Civil Rights, etc.)
   • Ex: The Help by Kathryn Stockett
7. 1920’s America
   • Ex: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
8. England/Europe
   • Ex: The Scarlet Series by AC Gaughen
9. Dystopian America
   • Ex: The Legend series by Marie Lu
10. Earth vs. Space
    • Ex: Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card

This gif was just necessary guys.

There are many more books I have read for each of those genres but thought it best to only list one, but I am always looking for more to add. Anyone have any suggestions for books that may fall in any of those settings?

What are some of your favorite settings?
