Friday Musings – Inspired by Top 10 Tuesday – Books That Feature Travel

Welcome to my Friday Musings Post! This is where every week I will scour the Blogosphere and find past meme questions and incorporate them into a current post (linking back to the blog who set the meme).

This week I have chosen:

Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

On 4 June 2013 the prompt was Books that Feature Travel. At the end of every month I like to see where I have “travelled to” in my books so I thought that this was a great prompt to do. Here is a list of 5 books that feature character’s travels:

Book Review – Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins – MEROE ISLAND

Random Things Tours – Book Review – Retreat to the Spanish Sun by Jo Thomas – SPAIN

Library Book Review – You Had Me At Halloumi by Ginger Jones – CYPRUS

Random Things Tours – Book Review – It Only Takes A Minute by Sasha Lane – PORTUGAL

Random Things Tours – Book Review – Twelve Days In May by Niamh Hargan – CANNES

What books have you read where the character’s travel?

Friday Face Off

The Friday 56

1 Reply

Welcome to my first Friday 56! Hosted by Freda’s Voice, you turn to page 56 or 56% in any book or reading device and pick a sentence that grabs you.

Here is mine:

“His eye was drawn to a photo of four boys jumping into a lake, a look of complete and utter delight in the moment on their faces.”

The Mirror Game by Guy Gardner (click here for link to Goodreads)

I thought that it was a lovely sentence. The main character had just gone into a room of a patient (who was there after some mysterious event happened to him in the War).

I am on the Blog Tour for this book on 11 February 2022 so keep your eyes peeled for my review on here, Amazon, Goodreads, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!

Friday Musings – Tell Me Something Tuesday

This week I have chosen:

Tell Me Something Tuesday, hosted by Rainy Day Ramblings.

On 17 March 2020 the prompt was: Lucky finds: what book(s) do you consider a lucky find?

Here are a couple of books from last year that I consider lucky finds. They are both from the library and I just happened upon them (click title for my review:

Book Review – Yes, No, Maybe So by Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed

I wanted to find a book that began with “y” as I want to be able to spell my name in books. I was struggling for quite a while until this one came up. I am so glad that it did! It was a lovely light chick lit and I quite happily gave it a 5 star rating!

Book Review – Christmas at the Comfort Food Cafe by Debbie Johnson

I love reading Christmas themed books in the run up to Christmas and this one came up on a library book search. I have since learned that this author has done a number of different books and I have already read another of her Christmas books because I enjoyed this one so much!

What have been your recent lucky finds?

Welcome to my first Book Blogger Hop post of 2022! Hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer this week the prompt is:

Do you have a genre you haven’t read before but would like to? (submitted by Sam @ Another Book On the Shelf)

I found this quite hard to answer as I think that I have tried most genres that I think that I would enjoy. I decided though to settle on Gothic Fiction. I only heard about it earlier this year and from what I understand about the genre, I think that this is something that I would enjoy and so need to explore it more this year (as well as trying to make a dent in my TBR shelves!)!

What genre would you like to read?
