Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Top Ten Books Featuring Travel in Some Way
1. The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson (The second book in the Fire and Thorns trilogy- Elisa must go on a journey to discover the true power of the Godstone she carries. Her traveling group is quite unique- but my favorite to go with her is Hector, Captain of the Queen's Guard, who she is falling in love with.)
2. That Time I Joined the Circus by J.J. Howard (The main character leaves NYC to find her mom- and ends up hanging out at a traveling circus)
3. Shine by Jeri Smith-Ready (The third and final book in the Shade trilogy- Aura travels to Scotland to visit Zachary and it's precious.)
4. Golden by Jessi Kirby. (Our main character takes a road trip with her best friend and the guy she likes to help uncover the truth about a girl who had supposedly died from their HS)
5. Hourglass by Myra McEntire (This is one of my favorite books about time travel!)
6. Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead (The final book in the Vampire Academy series- Rose (our main character) is on the run from the law that says she committed a crime that she in fact didn't. However, she is on the run with her ex Dimitri and man do sparks fly!)
7. Firelight by Sophie Jordan. (The first book in the Firelight series- our main character Jacinda, is actually a drakon that loves to fly in the mornings)
8. Suddenly Royal by Nichole Chase (Um, hello- the airplane scene with Alex and Sam? YEAH.)
9. Everbound by Brodi Ashton. (Watching Nikki and Cole journey through the Underneath to find Jack... so awesome.)
10. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (One of my favorite books about time travel- though it breaks my heart every time.)
This was a pretty difficult list for me. What about you guys? What made your Top Ten this week?

You go girl, bringing Rose into this! haha <3
ReplyDeleteI want to read Golden just because of that pretty cover!!
You will LOVE Golden! It's such an amazingly, beautiful story! I loved every minute of it.
DeleteI absolutely adored Golden. I enjoyed That Time I Joined the Circus and that cover is one of my favorites. I just started reading Girl of Fire and Thorns. I've heard great things about the series. Great list!

I haven't met one person who hasn't liked Golden yet! It's so incredible! Yes, I love the cover of That Time! Ohhhh! Girl of Fire and Thorns! One of my favorite series! I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteFirelight was so amazing! :) I wish that the rest of the series had been that good. I've heard of all of these but haven't had a chance to read them. Except VA series which I love. Great picks :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I did notice I didn't like Vanish as much, and still have yet to read Hidden. Thanks for stopping by! :D
DeleteGreat teaser. I haven't read any of your top ten books, but have heard of a few that I would like to. Nice picks! Adding them to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Ellen!
DeleteSuch great picks! I can't even belive I didn't think about Last Sacrafice, I love that series:) http://www.shesinlovewithbooks.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Chloe! :D Vampire Academy is one of my favorites too!
DeleteGreat List!! I considered adding Shine to my list. I love Jeri Smith-Ready and that series. Everbound is on my TBR list...I just haven't gotten to it yet. You just sold me on Suddenly Royal...heading off to Goodreads to add it to my TBR :)
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT: http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2013/06/top-ten-tuesday-books-that-feature.html
The Shade series is one of my favorites. I loved them! I liked Everbound too. But I'm a sucker for Jack. :D Oh, yes. Suddenly Royal is AMAZING! I cannot recommend it enough! SO cute!
DeleteGreat list, it was pretty hard for me as well! Golden sounds like a great book. :D
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
It is an amazing book! Definitely worth checking out!
DeleteI want to read just about all of these! I need to finish the Shade trilogy, and I plan on starting Vampire Academy this summer, along with a bunch of others on this list. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteRachel @ Beauty and the Bookshelf
Yay! You will love the conclusion to the Shade trilogy! It was perfection. :D And wooo for Vampire Academy! I can't believe I waited as long as I did to read them!
DeleteI'm happy to see Golden on another list. The adventure in that book kind of reminded me of the one in The Fault in Our Stars--it's quirky and unique. And, uh, yeah, sparks do in fact fly in Last Sacrifice. But of course, this little runaway broke poor Adrian's heart :'( Great list!
ReplyDelete~ Gabbi
My top ten! :)
I loved Golden. I haven't read TFIOS yet... I'm a bit afraid to be honest. I know it deals with some heavy stuff and wasn't sure if I'd be ready for it. Yes, poor Adrian. But his heart is mending in the Bloodlines series!!! So it makes it a little more ok. LOL.
DeleteI have not read any of those books... *hides in corner* I must fix that!!
ReplyDeleteYes Magen! You do! You will really like Suddenly Royal. It's NA and absolute cuteness. And I think you'd love Golden too.
DeleteOh my goodness! I can't believe I didn't mention Shine! I agree, that trip and everything that happened there was gorgeous and precious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TTT post earlier.
:D That was my favorite book out of the series. Zachary is precious.
DeleteI really want to read Golden and The Time Traveler's Wife, they both look so good! :) Thanks for stopping by my TTT list!
ReplyDeleteAlice @ Alice in Readerland
I LOVED Golden! Time Traveler's Wife- you'll definitely need some tissues for!
DeleteThe only one I've read on your list is Everbound (as you know, it's on my list too :P) and Hourglass.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Hourglass, I can't wait for Infinityglass! -squeals- :D
Great list Jessica & thanks for stopping by my TTT! (:
OMG! I can't wait for Infinityglass either!!! I couldn't bring myself to read the first chapter she put out, because I knew it would drive me crazy.
DeleteWe share Crown of Embers :). I see a few of my favorites as well! Awesome list <3
ReplyDeleteJasmine
LOVE that series Jasmine! And Hector! Swoon!
DeleteThe Time Traveler's Wife made me cry ugly tears. Talk about heartbreaking! And I still need to read Everneath and Golden. And YES to the airplane scene in Suddenly Royal! That whole book was chock full of awesome sexual tension. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TTT!
~Merin @ Read and Reviewed~
Yes! That one was so hard to read! And the movie! Seeing it happen.... ugh. I don't want to think about it. I loved Golden. Everneath was good, but not great. And wooo for sexual tension in SR! LOL.
DeleteThe Time Traveler's Wife is so heartbreaking! I want to read something else by the author, but I don't want to be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten
Agreed! I'm afraid to read another of her books!
DeleteFirelight, Suddenly Royal, and the Rae Carson series are all on my TBR list. And That Time I Joined the Circus is probably joining them; I keep hearing good things about them.
ReplyDeleteIf you like time travel, give The River of No Return (Bee Ridgway) a try! And thanks for stopping by my TTT list earlier!
Those are all some of my favorite books. I hope you enjoy them when you get to them! And I will check out River of No Return! Thanks Lark!
DeleteLooking forward to Golden. I keep hearing about the Rae Carson books, I'll have to add those!
ReplyDeleteI adored Golden. One of my favorite books this year. And Rae's books are awesome fantasy too!
DeleteFirelight is such an amazing book! Lovely list(:

DeleteOmg, I want to read Hourglass and Firelight soooooooo bad. I hope I can get to them soon!
ReplyDelete:D I hope you can too! They are two of my faves!
DeleteSo...are you a Jack fan or a Cole fan? :)
ReplyDeleteI still need to read Rae Carson's series!!!
Definitely a Jack fan. :D Cole pissed me the hell off in Everbound. And yes! I love Rae's series!
DeleteI really want to read The Time I Joined The Circus! That one has been on my list for a while!
ReplyDeleteI actually really liked it. I've heard some negative things about it, but overall I liked it, not loved it.
DeleteI'm tempted to go buy Golden. I wants to read the preciousssss. But lets face it I won't get to it til next month or so anyway so maybe I'll wait. No I want it. No I'll wait...ugh dangnabit Jessica! Sigh.
ReplyDeleteHaha. It's such a great book. I love it! One of my favorite contemps!
DeleteYou have so many books on your list that I want to read!! Rae Carson's series, That Time I Joined the Circus... and I still haven't read Everbound, even though I like Everneath so much >.< The day should have more hours...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and for stopping by earlier :)
I agree Carmen! We definitely need more hours to accommodate all the books we want to read! LOL!
DeleteThat is an awesome list! :D I SO want to read Golden! :D
ReplyDeleteOh Ana- Golden is so amazing! I recommend that one to EVERYONE! :D
