I missed last week’s list but this week is certainly interesting. It is ten Atmospheric Books and I will say that I had to really think about this one. For those who don’t know already atmospheric books means:
A novel feels atmospheric when the setting and the narrative are deeply involved with one another; when characters and plot are physically embedded in their surroundings, and a near-tangible mood lifts from the pages and wraps itself around the reader.

10 Atmospheric Books
What a List!
That is my list! I hope that y’all enjoyed reading it as much I enjoyed coming up with everything on there. Be sure to stay tuned for next week’s list!
I’ve heard a lot of go0d thinsg about The Guernsey Literary and potato pee society.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Give it a read, you will love it. I enjoyed both the book and the movie.
Edenbrooke is really famliar to me, but I think it’s just because it was hyped so much back when it released. I think I read one of the author’s other books at some point. Also… Guernsey is such a charming read! 🙂 thanks a bunch for visiting my website today.
Edenbrooke was hyped a lot and that is why I read it. I ended up enjoying it. Guernsey was simply amazing and love it so much.
The Girl on the train is a great choice. I can remember how dark and dirty that book made me feel at times.
It was one of those that was so good but I just couldn’t read again.
i’ve been wanting to try Ruta Sepetys books, they always sound so good!
I enjoyed Out of the Easy. It was so good.
I have not read Edenbrooke yet, but it has been on my TBR for quite a while. Nice list. Have a great week!
It is a great read! Hope you have a great week as well.
I haven’t read out of the Easy, but even the cover is atmospheric!
Thank you! I enjoyed it.
A good looking list. I’ve seen Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell on a few lists. I want to read it!
Have a great week!
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is an amazing read that you should certainly give a try. Hope you have a great week as well.
Great list! I haven’t read any of these, but even the covers for them are atmospheric. Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier!
Thank you for stopping by and I loved your list.
I love A SKY PAINTED GOLD!! And I’m so glad to see it getting more love as it feels like an underappreciated gem.
I couldn’t agree more. I loved it so much!
What a fabulous list. sO MANY PRETTY COVERS, TOO. tHANKS FOR SHARING AND FOR VISITING MY BLOG.
Thank you for visiting and you are so welcome. I loved your list!
Good list! I haven’t read the Sara Gruen you mention, but Water for Elephants had it in spades.(In fact, I wish I’d thought of that one!) also, Guernesy. EdenBrooke’s cover makes me want to read it, too.
I felt the same way when I visited other lists. I would come across books and think “Oh that was a good one! I wish I had thoguht of it.” Edenbrooke is so good.
Edenbrooke was a phenomenal book
I’m loving your choices here and those covers are magnificent,will be adding quite a few toy tbr list. Thanks!
I agree, it was so good. Thank you for the compliments.
I watch the TV show for Johnthan Stranges and Mr. Norrell and is atmospheric.
I haven’t seen the television show yet but maybe I need to.
Great list! i’ve read 7 of these and, I agree, they’re very atmospheric. I included a sepetys book on my list today as well as kate morton, although i didn’t specify a book because hers are all atmospheric.
Happy ttt!

Your right all of her are. I enjoyed your list as well. Thank you stopping by.
Jonathan Strange is a perfect choice, I wish I’d thought of that for my list this week too.
Your list was pretty amazing! I mean you had both Agatha Christie and Stephen King on there.
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is a great pick! I also loved Piranesi. Wish Susanna Clarke could write faster.
So do I! I am always on pins and needles waiting for her next book.
great list! I think historical fiction and mysteries can be very atmospheric, especially the ones by Tana French and kate Atkinson. Thanks for the recommendations.
I agree, they can be. You are so welcome for the recommendations.
I’d describe Edenbrooke as a very gentle, atmospheric books for sure.
I would as well.
Great list, I enjoyed the Girl on the Train.
Ohhh, Guernsey is a perfect choice!
GREAT LIST! I LIKED GIRL ON THE TRAIN, AND NOTICED TANA FRENCH COMING UP ON A LOT OF LISTS THIS WEEK – SHE’S NAILED THE ATMOSPHERIC NOVEL CONCEPT, APPARENTLY!
oooh, pretty much anything ruta writes is atmospheric and phenomenal. I enjoyed the guernsey literary and potato peel pie society as well. great list! 🙂
