Thank you The Broke and the Bookish for this wonderful Tuesday Meme
This week we have Top Ten Favorite Book With X Setting. Anjie and I deliberated for a while because we weren’t sure what setting to choose. In the end, we ended up picking, Top Ten Favorite Books With USA Setting. We decided to pick a broad setting like the United States of America because #1 it would be easier to find books, and #2 we could both find books with the same setting within each of our genre of expertise.
If you would like to know more about the books in our list, click on the picture of the book.
Veronica’s List:
1. The Book of Broken Hearts by Sarah Ockler:
Location? Blackfeather, Colorado. Ingredients? Mountains, Family, Barbecues, Forests, and the Vargas Boys.
2. Prep School Confidential by Kara Taylor:
Boston, Massachusetts is hit by a murder, and some know who hit it. The person that needs to figure it out is Anne Dowling.
3. Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson:
East Coast-ers like to spend their summers on a lake in Pennsylvania. Locals + vacationers + second chances = A Second Chance Summer for Taylor Edwards.
4. What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen:
McLean’s last stop is Lakeview, North Carolina, where she will have to face up to everything she has been running away from. 
5. Let The Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger:
The California Coachella Valley is known for its extreme hot and cold weather, its dryness (it is a desert), and having a very windy area. Enter Audra the sylph (air elemental) + Vane (a boy who cannot remember anything before the age of 10) + a unknown heritage = Let The Sky Fall. 
Anjie’s List:
6. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin:
It is set in Miami, FL, and I was really excited about that because I live there. It was nice reading about the place I live in a book, a great one at that.
7. Percy Jackson & The Olympians series by Rick Riordan:
I know it’s not just one book, but the setting of it is all over the US, so it’s perfect for this week. I loved how in this series Olympus moved to the top of the Empire State building in New York, and the Underworld was in Hollywood, California.
8. Unearthly by Cynthia Hand:
The novel is set in Wyoming. I loved the descriptions of nature and the mountains. Wyoming sounds so peaceful, of course not counting the fire that the main character envisions. 😉
9. The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks:
The Last Song is one of my favorite books by him and the location is amazing (right by the beach!). I really love that the setting is consistent throughout all of Nicholas Sparks’ novels. They’re either in North or South Carolina.
10. Bloodlines by Richelle Mead:
It takes place in Palm Springs, California. It’s pretty much a desert, as described in the book, with scorching temperatures. Not exactly a paradise, but the books in the series are phenomenal! (Veronica: I live about an hour away from Palm Springs and Richelle Mead’s description of it is dead on! It’s so hot that I do not understand why people even live there! I sound just like Adrian now.)
