Road Trips and Epic Quests: Books with Journeys

Summer is a time to go places. There's nice weather (depending on your definition of nice), lots of free time (hopefully), and so many places to travel!

But for those of us who are a bit more comfortable traveling through books as opposed to going places ourselves, there are plenty of stories that deal with not only the exciting destination, but the path it takes to get there. From the road trips of contemporary novels to time travel, here are ten of my favorite books that revolve around going places.

 
What are your favorite books that involve traveling? Tell me in the comments!
Top Ten Tuesday is a feature at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme (though I modified it): books that awaken the travel bug in me.

    Great list! I'm not familiar with a lot of these and that's so exciting! Thanks for sharing.

      Thanks for the comment! I always love introducing books that I've loved that might not be as well-known!

Thoughts on Required Reading

This blog post is brought to you by Pride and Prejudice and my AP Lit class. I've been thinking a lot about required reading, probably because I'm having to do so much of it. School comes with many types of required reading. Today, I won't be talking about reading excerpts from textbooks on various subjects, because I think everyone agrees that unless the subject is of particular interest, those readings are boring at best and painful at worst. Instead, I'm talking about being required to read entire works of literature (or, less often, nonfiction). During winter break this year, I was required to read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice . I thought that this would be one of my easiest assignments ever. I LOVE that book. I read it for fun two summers ago and could barely put it down! I was expecting wonderful days curled up on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate, enjoying the chance to revisit one of my favorite novels while still being productive. Best of all...

Ten 2016 Releases I Didn't Get To (But TOTALLY Plan To)

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten 2016 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn't Get To (But TOTALLY plan to) So, as you may have noticed, I only posted once last week. My plan for 2017 to be completely on schedule is off to a GREAT start. But it's not going to happen again! I have plans, and I'm going to stick to them. And one misstep shouldn't mean I give up on the whole goal! So here's to the rest of 2017 being completely on schedule. Anyway, moving on to posts that are on schedule - top ten Tuesday! This was a pretty easy topic - I never get around to all of the books that I want to. I'd say that the I read the most releases from any given year in the next year, so I'm sure I'll be reading plenty of 2016 releases this year. Here are the ten that I'm most excited about! THIS SAVAGE SONG by Victoria Schwab (Monsters of Verity #1): I've been saying that this book ...

ARC Dilemmas

One thing I'm usually pretty good at is pretending that I know what I'm doing. It's probably one of the most important things I learned in school! (Don't worry, my education wasn't that bad - that doesn't mean that faking it isn't a life skill.) But there are still a lot of times that I don't actually know what I'm doing. And that extends to blogging. Actually, it's especially true of blogging. Most of the time, I figure "my blog, my rules" and do what I want, which is usually making things up as I go along, but there are things I actually don't know. (For example: does this count as a discussion post when it's basically just me asking for he lp and advice and not really offering anything ? Who knows? Not me. But we're gonna call it a discussion for tagging pu rposes anyway.) Lately, I've been thinking a lot about two dilemmas posed by ARCs. I'm pretty new to the world of ARCs - I've known what they are...
