Hi all!
My name is Chiara and I am a Bookworm.
I hope you are all well. I know that I have been missing in action for the better part of a week but work overtook me and I could hardly find time to read never mind a moment to sit at the computer and get my thoughts down on this technological version of paper.
Last week’s topic, the topic I missed, was books set in the country I live in and I was really looking forward to completing that topic so I’m going to be doing it this week.
I will do this week’s topic but I’m just shifting them all round a little bit.
I don’t know why I always find it so brilliant when I read books set in the UK, but I suppose it must be because I’m so used to reading books that are set in America that when I open a book that I didn’t expect to be set in the uk and it is, I am almost bowled other. I am so excited to see how the author has represented my country.

What about you? What books do you love from your own country? What would you recommend for me? Or what about my country? What books do you love from the UK? I’d love to hear your answers.
What a great selection. I included the Harry Potter books and a couple of others that were also by British authors. I did include one where the representation of Britain disappointed me – if an author is writing “out of their country” they need to do their research carefully! Happy reading.

Yes, I find that as well. Write what you know, or research really hard. But these are all really good representations

I loved so many of these books, Get a Life Chloe Brown was a 2020 highlight for me!
