Top Ten Tuesday: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (and Ships and Motorcycles)
7:54 AM
I'm a little late to the party, but I didn't want to miss my favorite weekly meme. The prompt du jour is: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles/Books Featuring Travel. Other than a bunch of books about the Titanic, I don't have a lot of these types of reads on my TBR list, but I managed to scrounge up ten that have modes of transportation represented on the cover (even if the books aren't necessarily about traveling).
As always, Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl.
Top Ten Books on My TBR List With Modes of Transportation on the Cover
1. The Bletchley Riddle by Ruta Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin—This MG historical novel is about a puzzle-loving brother and sister duo who become code breakers in England during World War II.
2. Orphans of the Storm by Celia Imrie—Three passengers board the Titanic with different struggles and secrets. Their lives converge as the ship embarks on its doomed voyage, changing all of their fates.
3. Everyone On This Train is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson—I loved the first book in this Australian mystery series, so I'm looking forward to #2. This time, our hero is traveling by train to Adelaide to attend a conference for mystery writers. When one of the passengers is killed en route, it's up to Ernest to figure out which of the authors on the train took their killing off the page and into real life.
4. Flight 171 by Amy Christine Parker—In this YA horror novel, Devon, a high school senior who's haunted by the recent murder of her sister, boards a plane that will whisk her and her classmates off on a class skiing trip. Their journey goes horribly awry when a terrifying supernatural creature appears, demanding the kids chose a passenger to sacrifice. When the being starts revealing everyone's darkest secrets, including that one of them murdered Devon's sister, the already devastating situation gets much, much worse.
5. The Other Passenger by Louise Candlish—Desperate to avoid the crowding and claustrophobia of commuting to his London job via the Tube, Jamie begins taking a riverboat to work. Pleased to find camaraderie and friendship among his fellow passengers, he's dismayed when one of them goes missing. He's even more troubled when the police question him about an argument he had with the vanished man. What happened to Kit? Did Jamie do more than just argue with him?
6. All the Lost Places by Amanda Dykes—Set in Venice, this historical novel is about a baby who is discovered floating down the canals in a basket. Decades later, a book translator starts investigating the mystery.
7. A Wealth of Deception by Trish Esden—This is the second installment in a cozy mystery series starring Edie Brown, an art and antiques dealer. When she comes across a disturbing collage created by a reclusive and mysterious artist, Edie finds herself embroiled in a mystery involving a dangerous art underground where some people would kill to protect themselves and their secrets.
8. Sisters of Fortune by Anna Lee Huber—Based on a real family, this novel features the three Fortune sisters—Alice, Flora, and Mabel—who are returning from their Grand Tour of Europe aboard the most famous ship ever built. Little do they know what awaits them aboard the ill-fated Titanic.
9. Of Manners and Murder by Anastasia Hastings—Violet's aunt is London's most popular advice columnist. When the older woman flits off with her newest lover, Violet is left holding her pen. The first letter she opens is from a lady who fears for her life. When Violet runs to her rescue, she discovers the woman is dead. Who killed her? It's up to Violet to find out.
10. A Lovely Lie by Jaime Lynn Hendricks—Twenty-two years ago, Scarlet and Pepper were involved in a car accident that left two of their classmates dead. They lied to the police about what happened. Now, Pepper is also dead and her daughter, a budding investigative journalist, has come to Scarlet for answers. Scarlet's comfortable life will be shattered if the truth comes out. How can she stop her friend's daughter from destroying everything?
There you go, ten books on my TBR list with covers that feature modes of transportation. Have you read any of them? What are your favorite books featuring transportation/travel? I'd truly love to know. Leave me a comment on this post and I will gladly return the favor on your blog.
Happy TTT!
