I suggested novels with an intriguing setting in my February Reading Challenge post that had…intriguing settings!

One takes place in a mysterious small town that draws people in and somehow persuades them to stay (Road to Happenstance). Others take place in such notable settings as the Grand Canyon, Prince Edward Island, and the Colorado mountains. Two are World War II stories that take place in Europe and the remaining novel is set during Biblical times.

When I browsed through my Kindle and fiction shelves to select the “intriguing setting” novel I wanted to read, I found Yours Truly, Thomas by Rachel Fordham. This book has been on my TBR list since it was released in 2019. (Yes, I’m way behind!)

The story is a historical romance set in Washington, DC. But the geographical location isn’t what drew me to select this novel.

I chose it because the heroine works in a dead letter office at the United States Postal Service.

How intriguing is that?! I’m only a few pages in, and definitely enjoying the story.

Let me know what book you read or are reading this month that has an intriguing setting.

Looking ahead to April ~ What book will you choose because you love the cover?

Introducing April’s Challenge & Suggestions!

With so many attractive, fun, and amazing covers, I found it difficult to choose only four ~ two contemporaries and two historicals.

As you can see, I included one of my own covers but only because I’ve gotten tons and tons of compliments on it over the years. (Thanks to Kristin Bakken, Tyndale’s designer, for her creative talent!)
