I'm definitely drawn to those kinds of books, too. I especially like vacation-gone-wrong type of stories. Glad you found some title to pique your interest here.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Carla!

It's a fun one, isn't it? I told Wendy she should submit it to be an "official" prompt. I'd love to see what other people came up with for it.

The funny thing about McMorris is that all of her books sound like ones I would like. So far, I've read two by her. I liked SOLD ON A MONDAY, but was bored to tears by THE EDGE OF LOST. We'll see what I think of this one!

I do, too! That's one of the reasons I enjoy TTT. It lets me put together a list of books I might never have connected before.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lydia!

I've been impressed by how many people remembered exactly where they were when they read a certain book. My memory is just not that good! LOL.

It's a super fun topic! I was looking for some unique vehicles, but there weren't too many different ones on my TBR list, mostly planes and ships since I love hist-fic. Thanks for letting me steal your great idea :) I still think you need to submit it to Jana. It would be fun to see all the different kinds of vehicles people could come up with.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Wendy!

It's a fun prompt, right? It was pretty easy, too, since I love historical fiction and they always seem to have covers with planes, trains, and ships on them.

Thanks for popping by, Alicia!

Nice! I love that you book swap with your cousin and how lovely that your tastes jive so well. I've never read anything by Macomber, but her books look like ones I would like. I'm glad you enjoyed these. And Cornwall is on my list of places to visit when I come back to the U.K. (hopefully next year). We'll see!

Isn't it beautiful? I might have to buy myself a copy just so I can gaze on its loveliness in real life instead of on a screen!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Tanya!

Like I said above, I might just go ahead and buy it. The cover would look pretty on my shelves and the story sounds good, too!

Thanks for stopping by, Bonnie!

"Modes of transportation" is a better way to put it than vehicles. I spent too much time deciding whether a bicycle counted as a vehicle! Ha ha.

I have to read the installment before PEANUT BUTTER PANIC first, but it didn't have a buggy on the cover, so I used this cover instead. It's such a fun series!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Deanne!

Thanks! I paid a designer to do all my blog design since I have no skills in that area. She did a great job.

WWII books always appeal to me, too, and I've never read anything about the role of carrier pigeons in the war so I'm excited for these.

Thanks for stopping in, Stephen!

Exactly! Vehicles on a book cover usually indicate that a journey of some kind is about to take place. It's often one in both a physical and emotional sense, and those are the kinds of stories I enjoy so it makes sense that there are a lot of books with these types of covers on my TBR list. Of course, some—like the horse and buggy—are just there to give a sense of place (Amish country, in this case) and that's fun, too. There are so many possibilities with this prompt, that's why I like it so much!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Marianne!

And you've done such a great job with it. I twas a pleasure seeing all the covers.

I agree. As soon as I finish reading for the Cybils, I'm going to pick one of these up. Probably the pigeoneer one. We'll see.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Leah!

Yes, all of those elements work together to create a truly beautiful cover. It's eye-catching, but it also has this lovely dreamlike quality. I just adore it, all-around!

Thanks for popping by, Rissi!

I do, too. It's very evocative. Even though it's got a woman facing away and fighter planes in the sky like every other WWII novel these days, it still has some uniqueness to it.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark!

Right? I can barely remember what I read last week, let alone what I read on past vacations! LOL.

Thanks for stopping in, Allison!

Same. I don't care how many similar covers I see with piles of luggage, planes/trains/ships, etc., they still call to me. There's just something exciting about the beginning of a journey. I really like books like this.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Deanna!

Agreed. That cover definitely catches the eye and the imagination! I'm excited to read the book, too.

Thanks for popping in, Mary!

It is a bit subtle, isn't it? The series takes place in Amish country, so a lot of the covers have a horse and buggy on them.

I'm always interested in WWII novels, especially when they present a unique aspect of the conflict, things I hadn't heard about before.
