10 Books Set Outside the US

Ten Books Set Outside the U.S.

(Feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish)

There were no stipulations besides the "U.S." thing, but I didn't let myself go crazy.  I chose to stay away from magical lands that are technically not in America, and stuck with realistic fiction (for the most part).  I did, however, take full advantage of teen travel titles that send the characters on a journey through Europe to find themselves or some great truth.

What's on your list?  Happy reading!
