This is the second post of books set in England. Apparently it’s a setting I really enjoy since I read a lot of books set here. I have split the USA into states since it’s so big. Hopefully I will have a few more countries and states to write up soon. Why do this post? I think sometimes for challenges people read books in certain countries or people like reading books set in certain places so it’s nice to give a list. Also it’s fun.
Click the book covers to take you the goodreads page for the book.
This is set in Yorkshire, for the part I read anyway. I tried it a couple of years ago but never finished it. Will try to again sometime because it really does look like an amazing book. I have never a book written by the Bronte sisters, so maybe I am not the target audience.
A classic book. I remember watching the film as a kid. But I had never read the book, so I decided a year or so ago to rectify that and I am glad I did, it was a sweet little read.
I loved this book. About 10 years ago I went through a phase of reading lots of Philippa Gregory’s books, I haven’t read one in a fair few years but I remember how amazing they were. She is the author that got me into historical fiction.
Another Philipa Gregory book. I could put the whole series but I’m just putting the ones I have personally read, otherwise I will be here forever. This was not one of my favourites. I prefer the other ones.
If I remember correctly this was the first one I read. It was really good. A nicely told story.
I love this cover so much. I don’t think I finished this book unfortunately, cannot remember why. I will have to retry this sometime soon. It’s set in Melstone, England.
I found this a very interesting book, very different from anything else I have read.
A nice eay going read. There was no big event as far as I remember but I really enjoyed the setting.
I don’t often read erotica, usually only for challenges. This was well written and a decent book.
I don’t remember much about this book, again. Will have to reread it since I apparently did not write a review.
A very good author. Very underraterd in my opinion. One I need to reread.
A very different read, a little odd at times but a good read.Scary if it ever really happens.
Love the idea of this book, never got fully through this book. Crime is not my genre anymore.
I haven’t read this one but i got it for my sister for her birthday. The cover alone proves that it is based in London.
I tried this book but could not get into it, was just too full on for me.
I really enjoyed this book, a very unique and interesting read.
The series so far is mostly set in England- London and Coventry. I am in love with this series, cannot wait for the next one.
SO that is them all- for now. I have already started my next list of England based books. I do not seek them out I just note where the books I read are set.
Have you read any of these? What did you think?

What a fascinating list – and a wide-ranging set of books:)). Being a Brit myself, I was especially intrigued by your choice of books. I’m an Emma Newman fan and haven’t yet had the pleasure of Brother’s Ruin, so I need to get hold of that one. And I completely agree with you about Changeling, which is a lovely read. I’m currently listening to the second book in the series, Fledgling, which is equally good. If you wanted a couple of suggestions – Green Man’s Heir is a brilliant contemporary fantasy book set in the English countryside, peopled with magical creatures from the old English myths and legends. And the other fabulous series set in an alternate version of London where ghosts are a major problem is the Lockwood & Co series by Jonanthan Stroud, The Screaming Staircase is the first book.
Nice, Emma newman is a great author. Fledgling is good. I cannot wait for the third. Thank you for the suggestions. I will look into them.
Oh, she is, isn’t she? Have you heard the Newman’s podcast Tea and Jeopardy?
No I haven’t, never listened to any podcasts, is it good?
Oh, it’s hilarious – it’s won awards. They have a sci fi/fantasy author on and then all sorts of weird things happen while afternoon tea is being served…
Nice I will have to look into it, thank you for the recommendation
