Is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish where each week they post a new top ten list and ask fellow bloggers to share their lists on that topic.
Today's top ten topic is: Top Ten books featuring travel in some way.
Books featuring road trips.
 |  |  |  |
Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson | Golden by Jessi Kirby | From What I Remember by Stacey Kramer & Valerie Thomas | Saving June by Hannah Harrington.
I love my road trip books, they’re my always go to
books when I’m feeling down and need a quick pick me up. The above four road
trip books are my absolute favourites, with the characters travelling to awesome
places across the US (which has always been my dream!) there’s a lot of fun
along the way. Especially when characters who normally don’t spend time
together are forced to spend time together on this trip. But as well as
experiencing the physical road trip, there’s also a lot of individual growth
along the way too.
Books featuring travel to different countries.

Just One Day by Gayle Forman | Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill | The Book of Blood & Shadow Every Boy's Got One by Meg Cabot | Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard | Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor.
I’ve always wanted to travel more, so I love that I can experience the different cities and countries visited by characters in books. The books I’ve mentioned here, go to great lengths to actually give you a great feel of what the place is like. They visit gorgeous places such as Paris, Prague, Italy and backpacking across central America. I love it when you actually get the chance to visit some of these places mentioned in your favourite reads.
Also it's great when you can actually go and visit some of the places mentioned in the books you read. I was lucky to visit Prague last year, which is featured in Daughter of Smoke and Bone and The Book of Blood and Shadow.
So that's my top ten books featuring travel in some way, did you take part in this week's Top Ten post too? Link me up in the comments and I'd love to see which books made it to your list.

Saving June and Meant To Be are personal favorites of mine. They were both so beautiful and cleverly written. Gorgeous photos of Prague! I don't travel much, but I love getting lost in a new city.

I've read Meant To Be (and really liked it), and I REALLY want to read Just One Day, Amy & Roger's Epic Detour, and Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Great list!
Rachel @ Beauty and the Bookshelf
So many awesome books on your list! I've been wanting to read From What I Remember, it looks hysterical.
My TTT
Great list - a lot of my faves are on this including Amy & Roger and Wanderlove. Such great books! Golden is on my TBR - I've heard lots of good things about that one!
I was so close to putting From What I Remember on my list! I loved that book. I am glad to see Golden has made another person's list. I finished just in time for this week's TTT. Great list!

Love these picks, need to add a few to my TBR pile. I definitely agree with you about taking a trip around the US - it would be a dream come true! Lovely pictures of Prague too, I've never been :(
My TTT!
I'm so happy to see your TTT post! :) Saving June is on my list too same as Just One Day! The Book of Blood and Shadow is next on my to read list. Great picks. Also I love your pictures! :)
I'd love to go travelling, especially to the US! And I agree that it would be awesome to visit the places mentioned in books. :) Prague looks beautiful! The only one I've read from your list is Every Boys Got One. I remember seeing From What I Remember around the blogosphere last year and wanting to pick it up, not sure why I didn't...will have to rectify that!
That cover of Saving June is awesome. I'll never get over the fact US cover looks so depressing. Still need to read Golden. And I've never heard of Every Boy's Got One. Need to check it out on GR.
You have so many awesome ones on your list! I loved The Book of Blood and Shadow. I didn't even think about including it on my list.
My Top Ten
Golden, Saving June, Just One Day, and Wanderlove are my favorites. And DoSaB - gorgeous pics to go with that one! Great list, Jasprit!(:
Amy & Roger, Wanderlove, Reunited, and Perfect Escape are some of my favorite books featuring road trips. Daughter of Smoke and Bone is super awesome as well! :) I love books about road trips as well, they're a nice way to escape reality for a while. ;) Thanks for sharing, Jasprit! <3
I've seen Wanderlove on several lists! Thank you.
Here's my Top Ten post. Hope you'll stop by!
Golden, Just One Day & DoSaB are favourites of mineeeee<3 I can't wait to visit Paris and Prague one dayyyy!!!!! I've also taken a liking to road trip books lately...can't wait to read Saving June soon, especially since I loved the author's other book Speechless so much :)) Great list Jasprit!!!!
P.S Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog! I still have so many exams in the upcoming weeks but I've missed blogging so much I needed to post something :D hehehee
Oh, I'm so glad to see Amy & Roger on your list, Jasprit! I thought about doing this top ten, and if I had, I totally would have had it on my list. Seriously, roadtripping books rock my socks. I haven't read Saving June, but I've heard it's absolutely brilliant. Great list all around this week! :)
I enjoyed some of these, and need to check out Saving June
What a great set of books! And many that I want to read. This is making me want a fabulous vacation. Thank you for sharing !
Ahhhhh Prague! I so want to go there Jasprit, it's at the top of my travel list after Scotland/Ireland:) I just picked up a copy of From What I Remember at BEA, so I can't wait to get to that one. I couldn't have loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone any more if I'd tried, and I need to read Wanderlove asap. So many good books up there!
DoS&B - whoop, whoop! I like that Golden had a road trip in it, I hope to read it soon and after your review I'm definitely excited:) Eeeek!!! As Andrea, I. Want. A. Vacation. Since it's not possible atm, I'm experiencing all sorts of wonderful places via books. Thanks for sharing :) my tbr list definitely got bigger right now;)
I want to read From What I remember so BADLY!!! SO SO BADLY!
I adored Golden! That is a great pick for this TTT!! The Book of Blood and Shadow and Wanderlove are both still on my TBR list but I'm super anxious to read them both. Great list!! :)
Bonnie @ Sweet Tidbits
Just One Day! Loved that book so hard. I got Wanderlove this past year for my birthday and I can't wait to read it, everyone seems to love that one. Great list!
Meant to Be made the list for me too! Otherwise, these are a lot of books I want to read too!
My TTT
I really want to read From What I Remember. It looks like such a fun book, plus it has a road trip in it, so I'm pretty much guaranteed to love it! I really want to visit Prague, especially now you've shared those lovely photos!
Thanks for stopping by my top ten!
Your list is so perfect I can't even. It's got so many beautiful contemporary books on it, many of which I've read but didn't think of to add to my list. Also, I'm seeing Wanderlove EVERYWHERE. I think I need to read that one...
Oh wow I love your pictures of Prague... very cool! I didnt realize there was a roadtrip in Golden... now I'm even more excited to read it!! I also want to read Just One Day and Amy & Roger.
Thanks for stopping by My TTT
Amy & Roger might be the ultimate road trip book. I'm currently reading meant to be and enjoying it. I think I'll read Saving June next, it's been sitting on my to-read for quite a while now. Great list!
Love this list! Especially Daughter of Smoke & Bone and Golden! I need to read some of these others though. Great picks! :D
Great list! I didn't do it this week because I couldn't think of that many books I've read that deal with travel. I want to read more though, like Amy & Roger, Saving June, and From What I Remember (from your list!)

I just recently bought Meant to Be and I fully intend to read it soon, even though it's not my usual type of read. And I still have the second Laini Taylor book, sitting on my shelf unread, which is kind of embarassing, really. But hopefully I'll find time for that too soon.
Golden is another book I simply must read after all those wonderful reviews.
Thanks for sharing!
This is such an amazing list! I just added every single book to my GoodReads To-Read shelf. Lol.
You've picked amazing books for this feature! I love Golden and Saving June and Just One Day--I definitely need to pick up some of the others sometime, too. :) If only each book came with a plane ticket...
Wendy @ The Midnight Garden
i need to read golden!
and Jake (peanut better, haha)
I'd love to visit Prague one day! It looks wonderful there. Saving June is one of my favourite road trip books, but I haven't actually read very many. I'm hoping to dive into Golden soon. :)
