17 - A book set in a travel destination on your bucket list

[Ashley]

Kilt Trip is a popular new release in the romance genre that is set in Scotland.


If Paris is on your bucket list & you enjoy the thriller/suspense genre, The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley might be a good fit.

I'd like to see Stockholm someday, so I read The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye, from David Lagercrantz's continuation of Stieg Larsson's "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" series. Review:

I read Out Of Range. Set mainly in Jackson WY with the Grand Tetons as a background.

[Ron]

Going with Under the Bridge for this one.

I've always wanted to go back to Canada.

Four Seasons in Japan.

A novel within a novel, beautifully illustrated by Rohan Eason, and very evocative of Japan. The author, Nick Bradley, apparently undertook a PhD on 'Cats in Japanese literature' which must have been as enjoyable as a PhD can be. There are several cats in this book, too.

I am reading The Fox Maidens by Robin Ha. It is set in Korea. I have watched Gumiho interpretations in pop culture, I want to read something about it.
I also read Almost American Girl by Ha last year and loved it so, I can't wait to read this one.

The White Queen by Philippa Gregory. I was in England in May and would like to go back.

[Michelle]

I'm planning to visit Hawaii so I read Sharks in the time of Saviours.

I read Why We Love Baseball: A History In 50 Moments by Joe Posnanski

I would LOVE to take a road trip to visit all 30 stadiums

Ooh, that's a good interpretation - and I have the same wish! Although maybe not all in one trip. Last ballgame I was at, I sat next to a couple who were at their 27th stadium!

I read a halfway decent book about that concept last year: I Don't Care if We Never Get Back: 30 Games in 30 Days on the Best Worst Baseball Road Trip Ever. One takeaway is that you should give yourself more than a month to make the journey. I was tired on their behalf just reading about it.

That book is on my TBR. I read an interview with the author and even before I read it I thought it was a crazy idea. I would want to do it slowly over several years so I could take in other things the cities have to offer, not just watch the game and run out. In fact, watching a game is not an absolute, just touring/being in the ballparks.

I have a long way to go, I've only been to 3, the two local teams and one 2 hours away

I'm not really interested in traveling - I've done a lot of it already - so I'm going for a fantasy world. The Tea Dragon Society because I'd love to visit a world where there are tea dragons.

In case anyone is still trying to decide, I tried to think of books I've read in the past few years that are not just set in a place, but include lots of descriptions of the place, so you can really feel like you're there. I found:

Driving Miss Norma: One Family's Journey Saying "Yes" to Living - They drove all over the United States in an RV doing a sort of bucket list for the author's dying mother. They visited Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon

Here We Go Again - Another road trip across the US from Oregon to Maine.

Sorry, Bro - San Francisco

One Last Stop and The Getaway List- NYC

One Last Breath - Florida

Beneath Breaking Waves - Hawaii

The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters - India

I chose Someone Else's Bucket List by Amy T. Matthews because 1) it's about a bucket list, and 2) the main character has to do a flyover of Antarctica, and I'll be going there next year. I highly recommend this book.

Avebury by Evelyn Francis. I was there in May with my family. We also went to Stonehenge
