TEN BOOK TITLES THAT TAKE US SOMEWHERE INTERESTING
We all love a good armchair adventure, and any chance to feature books that do this, well, that too is fun. This is why today we are featuring the titles that are book destination titles, so the books that have a destination in the title.
LIST | THE BEST LOVE STORY MOMENTS OF ELIZA SCARLET AND WILLIAM WELLINGTON
TEN BOOK TITLES THAT TAKE US SOMEWHERE INTERESTING. Which of these places have you visited? #BookTitles #TopTen #BookList #TopTenTuesday Share on XSince I apparently have very little to say today, let’s just dive right in, letting the books do the talking, and see what we find as features for this week’s book list.
BOOK DESTINATION TITLES
MANSFIELD PARK and NORTHANGER ABBEY, JANE AUSTEN
We have to include an Austen or two, right? ‘Park’ on Goodreads • ‘Abbey’ on Goodreads
DEATH at THORNBURN HALL, JULIANNA DEERING
A fun mystery series set in the 30s. This time it takes it hero and his sassy American wife to Scotland! Goodreads
AUSTENLAND, SHANNON HALE
I loved the movie based on this novel but didn’t read the book. Goodreads
SURRENDER BAY, DENISE HUNTER
I’ve had this one and its respective later series books on my shelf for a long time. It’s set in Nantucket. Goodreads
THE RED DOOR INN, LIZ JOHNSON
Read this one back when it released and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Goodreads
MURDER at the FLAMINGO, RACHEL MCMILLAN
It’s been quite some time now since I watched this one, but I did quite enjoy it. It’s a 1930s (I think) era historical about the glittering world of night clubs, and as the title suggests, the danger of murder, too! Goodreads
ANNE of GREEN GABLES and THE BLUE CASTLE, L.M. MONTGOMERY
I cannot remember if the castle is imagination or real, but whatever… I’m adding these book to this list of book destination titles. ‘Anne’ on Goodreads • ‘Castle’ on Goodreads
KISS ME in NEW YORK and KISS ME in PARIS, CATHERINE RIDER
I read the Christmas ‘New York’ novel of this duo and I loved it. There are four more books in this ‘Kiss Me’ set, but from what I can tell they haven’t been published in the same editions as the first two. ‘New York’ on Goodreads ‘Paris’ on Goodreads
WILD MONTANA SKIES, SUSAN MAY WARREN
I did quite enjoy this novel, but didn’t read the rest. Goodreads
IN the SHADOW of CROFT TOWERS, ABIGAIL WILSON
Read this one years ago (well about five), and I think it’s kind of Gothic mystery and romance story that I felt was maybe influenced some (or my perception of it is this) by classic Gothic literature. I haven’t read more by Abigail though since I did enjoy this one I probably should! Goodreads
THE HOUSE on FOSTER HILL, JAIME JO WRIGHT
Jaime’s books aways sound so intriguing, but I think this is the only one I’ve read by her. Goodreads

Linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl November 12: Destination Titles (titles with name of places in them. These places can be real or fiction!) (this was a topic Rachel @ Sunny Side came up with for a freebie week last year and has let me steal it!)
Montana has such pretty skies.
I bet! It always looks beautiful though I’ve never been. Maybe someday…! ;)
Great list! I love Anne of Green Gables so much, it’d definitely be fun to visit there :)
If you’d like to visit, here’s my TTT: https://thebooklorefairy.blogspot.com/2024/11/top-ten-tuesday-destination-titles.html
Right? So gorgeous. It’s probably the ‘Anne’ stories that has always made me curious about seeing PEI. :)
I have The Blue Castle on my list too!
Great minds and all that…! ;)
I’ve never read Anne of Green Gables, though I really should prioritise it!
I don’t think I’ve read the ‘Anne’ books either BUT I do adore the movies from the 80s! :)
I love Northanger Abbey and Anne of Green Gables! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Great to know! I just need to sit down and read them… though I did star Northanger Abbey so it feels like I should get a partial credit for that. ;)
You have some pretty wonderful-sounding destinations on your list this week.

I think some sound quite lovely indeed. :)
I’ve always loved ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, so it’s no surprise that Prince Edward Island is on my travel bucket list. One of these days!
Happy TTT!

I do think that would be a LOVELY place to visit. But I confess that’s based on the Anne movies. :)
Awesome list this week. I’ve read many of these titles and they are all so good. Mansfield Park is my absolute favorite Austen novel. I know that’s quite different than most everyone else, but I really love that book. I think it is Austen’s best!
I’m so glad to know you enjoy Mansfield Park. That isn’t one I hear as a favorite I’d agree, but I think it’s great when we discover an underrated book and hype it up. :) Someday I’d like to try another novel by Austen. :)
I love these! Anne of Green Gables was initially going to be on my list too but then I found so many witch titles and decided to go in that direction. I have the Austen books on my TBR and need to read them soon!
That’s fun too! I figure some of mine are going to be “repeat” on many lists, so I think it’s fun you went in a different direction. :)
The castle is imaginary, it’s like a metaphor, but knowing the island of Valency is one of my dreams, living in a cabin on an island seems lovely
Thanks for reminding me! I was SURE the castle was more of a metaphor or some type of imaginary element but I couldn’t remember since it’s probably been three or so years since I read The Blue Castle. :)
The House on Foster Hill looks interesting. I hope you have a fabulous week.
I read that one and as I remember I did enjoy it. :) I hope you do if you add it to your TBR.
I finally read The Blue Castle (and enjoyed it, actually listened to it on audio). I have read ALL of Jaime Jo Wright’s (even her latest release) and loved most of them. Great list!
I’m so glad you enjoyed The Blue Castle. It’s such a favorite of many and I think for some, more so than the ‘Anne’ books. I need to read another of Jaime’s. I think I liked her debut well enough, but I never picked up more by her. Why I cannot remember! ;)
Because there are SO many books and never enough time!
So. True.
Every time I see Montana mentioned or shown on the cover of a book, it makes me want to go there and visit. It seems like it would be so incredibly scenic. Great looking list!
I agree, Leah! It does seem beautiful. I’ve also heard Colorado is stunning too and since I live in the U.S., it’s embarrassing to say I haven’t been to some of these places. ;)
Same! There are so many places in the US that I want to visit, and it’s embarrassing how few I’ve actual been to.
Selfishly I am SO glad to not be alone in this. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who hasn’t been to some of these places. :D
