Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Books that Feature Travel. I've done quite a few travel themed Top Ten Tuesdays over the years. This time, I am keeping it simple and just sharing some of the recent books that I have read that feature travel in one way or another!
Let's go, or should I say, bon voyage!
An Italian Wedding Adventure by Leonie Mack - Wedding planner Sophie is asked to organise a wedding at the top of a mountain climb so she needs to travel to Italy to find the locations. The catch, her guide is her ex-boyfriend.
Booked for Summer by Kathryn Freeman - British woman Jade Taylor goes to the island of Nantucket to run a cute bookstore for three months where she meets the owner of the resort that wants to close the store down. (My review)
One More Day of Us by Shari Low - Singer Moira Chiles spent a large part of her career working on cruise ships. This story takes us back to her first trip when she lived in Hong Kong back in the early 1990s. (My review)
A Greek Island Gift by Mandy Baggot - When Molly receives an inheritance from someone she has never heard of, she has to travel to Corfu to accept it. What is she going to do with half an apartment, half a boat and a quarter of a cat amongst other things! (My review)
Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt by Lucinda Riley - This is the final book in the Seven Sisters series, and follows Pa's life as he travels all round the world.
Secret Beneath a Riviera Sky by Jennifer Bohnet - Francine travels to Cannes with her mother and daughter after her estranged father dies. (My review)
Where the Birds Calls Her Name by Claire van Ryn - The travel in this one is a bit closer to home. Saskia and her daughter drive from Broome in far north Western Australia to Tasmania as they discover who Saskia's mother is and who Saskia needs to be in the future. (My review)
The Librarian Spy by Madeline Martin - Ava travels from her job as a librarian in the Library of Congress to work in Lisbon in Portugal during WWII. (My review)
The King's Messenger by Susanna Kearsley - The method of travel in this one was by ship and by horse. A group of travellers go to Scotland from London on the King's business. (My review)
White Mulberry by Rosa Kwon Easton - A young girl travels from Korea to Japan in the years prior to WWII, and then she struggles to return home. (My review)
Where did your Top Ten Tuesday take you today?
Hi Marg! Thanks for catching my mistake on the TTT topic for this week! I've fixed it on my blog now and I really appreciate you letting me know I messed up! The only book on your list that I've read is The Librarian Spy and I loved it! I'm off to look at the rest of your picks, because travel is my favorite and I can always use more recs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jana! I was a bit confused at first but figured it was just an oops!
DeleteThanks for fixing it!
I haven't read any of these books but I'm intrigued by the covers and the titles. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThere's some good ones there!
DeleteYour list has reminded me I still haven't read all the Seven Sisters books - and I really must get a copy of the last book Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt!
ReplyDeleteThe Librarian Spy sounds interesting, I think I'll add it to my TBR.

White Mulberry has a cool cover.
ReplyDeleteThere are SO many amazing places to see around the world. Thank goodness for armchair traveling! I've been to some cool places IRL, but I've been to even more of them in books.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Where the Birds Call Her Name sounds especially compelling to me.
ReplyDeleteI actually forgot to do this week's TTT! Oops! But I don't think I've read many books featuring travel. Love the sound of Where The Birds Call Her Name though.
ReplyDeleteA Greek Island Gift and The King's Messenger sound so intriguing! *adds to TBR*
