This week’s prompt was books you’ve read on vacation – bonus if you can tell us where you read them. I’ve got no idea. I haven’t been on vacation in over 7 years. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast. There’s just no way. So instead I’m sharing a few books about places I’d like to visit, and a few books about traveling in general that I loved.
Books About Places I Want to Go
Books About Traveling
Alright, so that’s it for me this week! What about you guys? Did you have better luck than I did with this week’s prompt?
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly link-up feature created by The Broke and the Bookish and hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Every week TTT has a different topic, and everyone who links up has to create a link of ten items that fit that topic. To see past and upcoming topics, go here.
I love your interpretation of this week’s theme!

Thank you! Not having been on vacation in over 7 years, I really just don’t have any memories of books I read while on vacation at all!
Fun take on the topic. Under the Tuscan Sun was so good.
Thanks! Yes, it’s one I need to re-read, but along with Bill Bryson, Peter Mayle, Mary Morris and Karin Muller hers is a favourite of the travel memoir genre for me!
I’d love to visit those places too!
🙂
I love your theme!
I struggled with this week as whilst I went away in August I only read 3 books (and only completed one of them!) and before that I went on holiday in 2018. Holidays generally are very busy times with doing things so the chance to read wasn’t there. I think the last time I took a book on a holiday was 2013? So all in all I had to get a bit creative!!
Have a great week!

Yes, I haven’t been on vacation since 2015, and since I can’t even remember what I had for breakfast there’s no chance I’m remembering what I was reading back then! Lol!
The only one from your list is Between Two Kingdoms. It was an interesting read.

Yes, I didn’t think it was perfect, but it did capture some of the feelings I’ve also dealt with when it comes to illness (though of course hers was much more acute and intense than mine, which are chronic and drawn out). I definitely think there’s a lot here for people who’ve never been seriously ill and can’t really imagine what it’s like.
I hope you’ll get to see all of these places someday!
Yes, as unlikely as it is, me too! 🙂
The Little Paris Book Shop is a sweet read that lingers. I’ve seen the movie Under the Tuscan Sun a few times, but I’ve actually never read the book.
Hope you get to take a vacation soon!

I read Under the Tuscan Sun in high school and it started me off with reading travel memoirs, a genre I’ve loved ever since! I haven’t re-read it in a couple of decades now, so I can’t say for sure if it holds up, but my memories of it are cosy and tinged with orange sunsets and the smell of basil and olives on the air….
