Top Ten Tuesday...

 
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly meme hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week's theme is DESTINATION TITLES which I thought was a very fun idea. And easy, too. I just went to my bookshelves and came up with a list of these ten books...all with destinations in their titles. 










3. Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns




4. Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson




5. A Death in Vienna by Daniel Silva




6. The Ghost Riders of Ordebec by Fred Vargas




7. A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute




8. The Red Planet by Robert Heinlein




9. The Valley Where Time Stood Still by Lin Carter




10.  Treasure of Egypt by Barbara Ivie Green




Don't you just love traveling by book to all of these fun, faraway places?
Happy Reading!

  4. I definitely love armchair traveling, and I would love to go to Cold Sassy (what a wonderful book!!!), Cranford (of course), and Alice as well as a town like Alice (what was it called anyway?). I regret not visiting Vienna when I was in Germany 18 months ago--we were 45 minutes from it--but we just couldn't fit it in.

    Great list.

    1. That is too bad you didn't get to Vienna. I'd like to go there someday, too.

  5. I love that you included some SFF titles in your list! (So did I.) The only one I have read of these is Red Planet, and it's been decades. I'd like to read Cranford someday, though, and Treasure of Egypt looks good.

    1. There are some others here that you might like...not that you need more titles to add to your TBR list. ;D

  10. That's an impressive list. The only one of these that I've actually read is "A Death in Vienna" although I feel as though I've read some of the others because I've seen film adaptations of the books.

    1. Cranford is a lot of fun. One of the funnier, and shorter, classics that I've read.

  15. I love this week’s theme! Destination titles are such a creative way to explore new places through books.

    Haven sounds like a captivating read—definitely adding it to my list. And A Town Like Alice has always piqued my interest.

    Books really do let us travel to places we might not visit otherwise. Happy reading adventures to you!

    1. Not surprising...there's such a variety of books with destinations in their titles...I could have easily chosen ten different books from off my shelves for this list. :D

    2. I'm sure. I was surprised to find so many smaller places on some lists.
