23 - A Book With a Map

[Nadine in NY]

A book with a map.

There's that deja vu feeling again!! I am expecting Tread of Angels to have a map, so I can read that.

Without even using a map, I found my way to our old list:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...


But we can create a new list, too!!: A book with a map (2023 version)

[Dubhease]

So many fantasy books include them now thanks to Tolkien.

[Ron]

I'm sure I'll be able to find some nonfiction ones out there.

I got my copy today... And it doesn't have a map.

DANG IT


Can you remove it from our new Listopia? I removed my vote, but someone else must have trusted me and voted for it, so it's still on the list and I don't have the power to delete.

Back to the drawing board! I see someone put The Cruel Prince on the old Listopia - I hope that has a map, I can read that.

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America is on the old list

[Jenna]

Does Throne of Glass have a map? I see it on the 2020 list

[Katy]

Six of Crows has a map!

[Charlotte]

The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd

It has pictures of a few maps in it and it's about maps.

Thanks.

I'll probably look through the books I already own.

Yes! The Amazon look inside feature is quite useful for this prompt, because the sample usually includes the map pages if they're there.

The Romanovs: 1613-1918 has a map, if you're up for a really long book. It was good.

Thank you.

[Denise]

I'm a little worried because it's so long, but I'm going to go with The Priory of the Orange Tree

[AF]

Sourdough by Robin Sloan has a map!

[Desiree]

American Dirt has a map on the inside cover!

[Ron]

Going classic with The Fellowship of the Ring

[JoJo]

Im going to be reading A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail.

[Tania]

Ron wrote: "Going classic with The Fellowship of the Ring"

That's my plan as well, I'm hoping to reread the trilogy this year and I'm pretty sure the 3 books will fit into 3 prompts.

[Tania]

Books I recommend:
Women of Walt Disney Imagineering: 12 Women Reflect on their Trailblazing Theme Park Careers - has several park maps sketched out
The Recovery Agent - hardcover edition, treasure map on inside of back cover
In This Mountain - drawn map of town before book begins
The Clan of the Cave Bear - paperback edition, map at the beginning of the book
The Valley of Horses - paperback edition, map at the beginning of the book
The Mammoth Hunters - paperback edition, map at the beginning of the book

[Ron]

I'm reading The Other Slavery: The Uncovered Story of Indian Enslavement in America for the #BookTok Recommendation, but this one will fit here as well.

[Diana]

Saint and Fable from Adrienne Young's Narrows series both have maps. They also work as book with "character's name in the title". Other books in the series could be used for the "#Booktok" and "About a Family" prompts among others.

Keri Maniscalco's Kingdom of the Wicked triology has maps in all 3 books. This series could also work for the "About a family" and "#booktok", prompts. You could make a case for "Forbidden Romance" and "Mythical Creatures" too.

Ninth House, Children of Blood and Bone, and some copies of Stardust have them too.

[Lyn]

The Tamora Pierce books have maps, but I'll put the very first one of the first quartet, which is Alanna: The First Adventure

[Melissa]

I just heard about this book on a podcast - could be a fun and easy read for someone looking for nonfiction. The Writer's Journey: In the Footsteps of the Literary Greats

All the Wheel of Time books (Robert Jordan), except maybe the prequel, have maps.

The Shadow Rising
The Fires of Heaven
Lord of Chaos
A Crown of Swords
The Path of Daggers
Winter's Heart
Crossroads of Twilight

Great selection!

[Alyna]

Wicked

[Laura Ruth]

All 3 books in the Mercenary Librarians series by Kit Rocha (though the maps aren't all that important to the story). I used Dance with the Devil.

[Alecia]

West with Giraffes

[Marja]

Between Shades of Gray

[Leona]

Every Knee Shall Bow by Bryan M. Litfin.

[Laura Ruth]

Now reading Bargaining Power by Deborah Natelson, a wonderfully weird urban fantasy/spy thriller mashup, which also starts with a map.

[LeahS]

Having visited a lot of castles in North Wales last year, I thought I would read about the man who had them built:
A Great and Terrible King: Edward I and the Forging of Britain by Marc Morris.

It contains four maps (England, Gascony, Scotland, and Wales) and a picture of the medieval Mappa Mundi.

[Rachel]

Mullumbimby is an award-winning contemporary fiction by Indigenous Australian author Melissa Lucashenko. It features smart and sassy Jo Breen who finally achieves her dream of owning a property in her ancestral Bundjalung country only to run into problems with the neighbours, her horses, her teenage daughter, and last but not least, the handsome new bloke in town who is putting together a controversial Land Rights claim. I can't tell you where the map comes in, the would be a spoiler, but it's definitely in there! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review

[Rachel]

The Vinland Sagas: The Norse Discovery of America is a translation of the ancient Viking tales telling the story of the discovery of the Americas. These sagas tell the story of Eirik the Red, exiled from Iceland in the 10th Century, who founded the Norse colony and whose sons discovered the “Vinland” (probably in the Newfoundland area of Canada) around 500 years before Columbus. The sagas are easy to read and feature sea-faring Vikings and feisty females such as the impressive Gudrid and the scheming Freydis. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review.

[Ashleigh]

I read The Tattooist of Auschwitz for this prompt. At the back of my copy was a map of the conceptration camp.

[Jessica]

Planning on reading The Perfect Storm. I found it in a LFL and there is a map in the front.

[Ron]

Oh nice. I hadn't considered that one. Guess I'll add it since I haven't found a book on this one yet.

This sounds really good. I started out by reading The Priory of the Orange Tree for this prompt but didn't like it after about 50 pages, so I'll try this one instead.

I thought it was really good! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

[Ron]

Well, this is cool. I had planned on double-dipping with one of my chosen books, but it turns out I don't have to.

I recently got Joan of Arc: A Life Transfigured and it has two maps at the end.

Very cool, I'm already reading a book on Joan of Arc that fits the 'historical fiction' prompt and that one has a map too, but I'll certainly be going with Kathryn Harrison's book here.

[Robson]

Loved The Long Hitch Home by Jamie Maslin for the prompt “a book with a map”!

The guy went from Hobart, Australia to London, England only hitchhiking. Just some numbers: 18,000 miles, 800 rides, 19 countries, passing through all the 4 seasons, taking more than 3 months.

[Sherri]

I read The Dovekeepers

[Carey]

I read Shadow and Bone. I'd imagine the others in the trilogy also have a map but haven't confirmed.

[Barbara]

I used The Barren Grounds: The Misewa Saga, Book One by David Alexander Robertson. I am currently reading another book that has a map. The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia.

[Ron]

I am finding so many great nonfiction books with maps in them, but I think I've decided on this one:

How the Mountains Grew: A New Geological History of North America

I read it last year and was absolutely enamored by it. I want to read it again, especially now since I will be taking a geology class.

[Ron]

Someone on FB suggested Indigenous Continent: The Epic Contest for North America .

I might end up using this one. I have a copy and have been wanting to get to it.

The paperback will be released in September which I'm looking forward to since it will go along perfectly with the other books on my shelf that I have by this author.

[Jackie]

Just read one that fits: Dissolution

It's a historical murder mystery and there's a map of the monastery on the inside cover pages.

[Jessica]

I am planning on reading The Perfect Storm. The copy I have has a map in the front.
