TEN FICTIONAL BOOKS ALL ABOUT TRAVEL
When it comes to lists about travel, there’s so many I haven’t read, so I have to curate lists like this often based on cover design. Which is what we’re doing today. Which is to say we’re looking at ten fictional books all about travel. Based on the cover art or title, the books I collected seem like ideal stories about travel. And let’s be real, sometimes we all need a little escape!

TEN FICTIONAL BOOKS ALL ABOUT TRAVEL. Sharing a few books (we think) have lots of travel! How many have you read? #TopTen #TopTenBooks #TopTenList #TopTenTuesday #TravelFiction #Fiction Share on XThese cover designs have everything from trains, planes and other travel elements that makes them stand out and seem to scream travel.
BOOKS ALL ABOUT TRAVEL (we think)
THE CHAOS OF STANDING STILL and THE GEOGRAPHY OF LOST THINGS, JESSICA BRODY
I read ‘Geography,’ which is about a road trip if I remember, but haven’t read ‘Chaos.’ I did enjoy the one I read by Jessica, so now the question is, should I read this other titles I own be her? ‘Chaos’ on Goodreads • ‘Geography’ on Goodreads
HEARTS OVERBOARD and LOVE and OTHER GREAT EXPECTATIONS, BECKY DEAN
Hearts Overboard seems to involve sailing and this secondary Becky Dean title follows a girl who travels to England and the cute little details on the cover makes me think this would be a lovely travel adventure. ‘Hearts’ on Goodreads • ‘Love’ on Goodreads
SKID, RENE GUTTERRIDGE
With its plane on the simple purple background, this seems like a novel that involves some travel. It’s also a book I’ve owned for years, and if I remember correctly, it’s about a pilot. Goodreads
LOVE and OTHER TRAIN WRECKS, LEAH KONEN
Apart from the train tracks, this one doesn’t have travel on the cover per se, but it is about two teens who meet on a train, so it fits. Goodreads
DASHED, AMANDA QUAIN
Inspired by Sense and Sensibility, this is a contemporary update about a cruise and features a ship on the cover art, too. Goodreads
FIELD NOTES on LOVE, JENNIFER E. SMITH
A train seems to be an important part of this novel, which I think has been optioned as a film. Goodreads
THE UNSINKABLE GRETA JAMES, JENNIFER E. SMITH
An adult novel by an author who usually writes young adult, this one sounds bittersweet about a woman who loses her mother and must find herself again, but also it’s about a cruise, so travel. Goodreads
THIS TRAIN IS BEING HELD, ISMEE AMIEL WILLIAMS
There’s trains in the design and in the title, so this one feels like a must include. Goodreads
IT HAD TO BE YOU, LINDA WINDSOR
Read this one eons ago (don’t ask me to remember details) but despite the very outdated (or maybe not so much now) cover design, the cruise ship cinched this as being a title to include. Goodreads

Linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl August 13: Planes, Trains & Automobiles/Books Featuring Travel (books whose plots involve travel or feature modes of transportation on the cover/title) (submitted by Cathy @ What Cathy Read Next)
These all sound cute. :)
I think so too. :)
I have both of Jessica Brody’s books on my physical TBR, I hope to read them this year.

Fun! I hope you enjoy. I read ‘Geography’ back when it released and my memory is that it was a good read. Probably why I picked up her other novel, too. :)
I haven’t read any of these yet, but some of the titles are amazing.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
A good title is part of what makes a book eye-catching. :)
Oooh!! I used to love Jennifer E. Smith’s books but I haven’t kept up with her and didn’t know she had new books out!! Adding these to my TBR! So excited to read them soon!
All of the books I’ve read by Jennifer (thus far) as indeed favorites of mine. Hopeful I will enjoy any future ones I rad, too. :)
Hearts Overboard looks really cute! thanks for commenting on Reading Is My SuperPower :)
I agree! It does. I’ve heard Becky’s YA novels are indeed quite charming. :)
I’ve read the two Jennifer E. Smith ones! I really enjoyed The Unsinkable Greta James.
I’m so glad to know this, Bree! I haven’t read ‘Greta James’ but I am curious. Though I also suspect it may be too bittersweet a read. ;)
Dashed sounds amazing, i love jane austen’s retellings
I love them too! Hoping this one is fun. :)
Love and Other Train Wrecks sounds really interesting. I hope you have a fabulous week.
I agree, it does sound interesting! I think that one has been optioned at a film, too, so if it gets made that’ll probably be what finally prompts me to read it. :)
I have not read any of these. Interesting assortment of books :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Thanks for visiting, Cindy!
These definitely look/sound like books about travel. I haven’t read any of them.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

I agree, they do indeed, Susan! Hoping those I haven’t read are indeed about travel. ;)
Great list! I remember seeing The Unsinkable Greta James a while back, and This Train is Being Held as well, when it came out. I’m curious about both of those, and love reading books involving travel. Hope you enjoy all of these when you get to them!
I’ve really liked what I’ve read by Jennifer, Leah, so reading more of her books is high on my must list. :)
