Top Ten Tuesday is a meme by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme is book that deal with travel somehow. It's going to be tuff, but I think I can make it to 10.
1. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova- An interesting take on the vampire myth that deals with traveling to several countries like England.
2. Enclave by Ann Aguirre- While it's not exactly travel the main characters are moving a huge distance to become safe from the creatures that want to destroy them.
3. Little Women by Lousia May Alcott- one of my all time favorite books and Jo does travel away from the home to become a "better" woman.
4. The Lizard King by Bryan Kristy- This book is all about the illegal reptile trade that one man was in charge of and fooled a bunch of zoos. He had traveled all over the zoo getting exotic reptiles for zoos who thought he was legit.
5. The Shining by Steven King- The Torrence family goes to a hotel to take care of it during the winter. Obviously this trip was a fun family vacation.
6. The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chauser- an interesting tale of people on a pilgrimage having to tell stories along the way.
7. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak- I love this story about a little girl traveling with her mother and then growing up with a foster family.
8. The Temperance Brennan Series by Kathy Riechs- They all deal with traveling between states or the US and Canada.
9. The Hunger Games Trilogy by Susan Collins - Since they travel between districts it counts. Such a great books
10. Da Vinc Code by Dan Brown- Nothing like a murder series gone global.
Oh good I made it. I wasn't sure I could do it.
The Canterbury Tales is perfect and I still don't know why I did not think of The DaVinci Code! Nice list!
