Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Books With Nationalities In The Title with the prompt providing example such as The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Mexican Gothic, An American Marriage, etc. Well, clearly I can’t use those! But I did manage to come up with ten others…
- The Last Chinese Chef by Nicole Mones
- Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins (review)
- The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje
- My Italian Bulldozer by Alexander McCall Smith (review)
- The Japanese Lover by Isabel Allende (review)
- The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon
- The Russian Cage by Charlaine Harris (review)
- I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L Sanchez (review)
- A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow by Laura Taylor Namey (review)
- American Hippo by Sarah Gailey (review)
What books made your list this week? Do we have any in common?
If you posted a TTT list this week, please share your link!
I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter has been on so many lists this week.
It’s such a good book! It’s been a while since I read it, but I remember how impressed I was by it.
Fabulous list!
Thanks!
A Cuban Girl’s Guide and Mexican Daughter are popular ones today. I’ve seen them on several topics! I’ve got the former on my TBR but totally forgot about it today. 🤦🏻♀️ Great list!
Good to know that they’re on other people’s lists too! The topic was more challenging than I originally expected 🙂 Thanks!
Great list, Lisa! I have not read any of these – I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter looks interesting to me. Heading over to read your review 🙂
Thanks, Barbara!
I completely forgot about A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow when I was looking for books for this week.
Here’s my TTT for this week: https://readbakecreate.com/books-with-real-place-names-in-the-title/
I don’t read a ton of YA these days, but that was a good one!
You’ve got a lot of authors I really like. The Japanese Lover is probably my least favorite book by Allende, though. I’m very curious about the title of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow.
I don’t think I was all that impressed by The Japanese Lover either — there are so many of her books that I liked a lot more.
I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter is one that I’ve always meant to read! Great list.
It’s worth checking out! Thank you!
I AM NOT YOUR PERFECT MEXICAN DAUGHTER is on my list today, too. It sounds like a good one!
Happy TTT!

I read it years ago — it was very good!
Wow, congrats on no repeats!! I love seeing the Charlaine Harris book on your list😁
Thanks – no repeats was my goal! 🙂 I love that Charlaine Harris series — I wish there were more books!
Well done. I looked at this theme but couldn’t come up with many examples – or maybe I just didn’t search long enough.
Lynn 😀
Thanks! I was surprised to find this many on my shelves!
Great selection! I have quite a few of these on my TBR.
I’ve enjoyed so many of these!
Anna and the French Kiss seems to be pretty popular this week!
I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter and A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow are on my TBR, the latter one on this week’s list as well.
