And now, without further ado, let me introduce one of my blog tour pals!
Offbeat YA is proud to present Victoria (The Petite Book Blogger), who's listing 5 places she would like to visit one day and 5 books she would choose to make her company on her plane ride...
Books I Would Pack for My Dream Vacations
List by Victoria (The Petite Book Blogger)
Normandy, France - P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han
I know that this seems like such a random choice for Normandy, France since there are so many amazing classics and historical fiction novels set in Normandy. The reason why I wouldn't read them on a vacation is because when I go on a "holiday" I don't want to be depressed or read about scandal. I can just watch Downton Abbey but the reason why I would bring the duology to France is because when the author Jenny Jan was promoting P.S I Still Love You in Paris it seemed like such a perfect place to read a cutesy girly contemporary. Who wouldn't want to read about Laura Jean's love life while eating French pastries?
Rome, Italy - Rome in Love by Anita Hughes
I am a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn, I love everything about her movies, fashion and humanitarian work. When I was little I watched A Roman Holiday with my grandmother and I instantly fell in love with classic films and Rome. So I would love to read a book based on my favorite movie, that way it would feel like my grandmother is there with me when I go to Italy.
Honolulu, Hawaii - The Girl From Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
Time travel, pirates, romance, and Hawaii, need I say more?
London, England - The Finishing School for Weaponry by Gail Carriger
I have read a lot of mysteries and YA spy books set in England so it would only be fitting if I read one while I was there. If you don't already know this about me I love a good spy book (is that what they're called?) and reading all about secret passageways in historical buildings. I might try to find one myself *wink*. Not only would this be such an entertaining read on the plane but, I will also learn about the art of espionage while I eat scones.
Vienna, Austria - The Musician's Daughter by Susanne Dunlap
I don't really know much about the book other than it takes place in 18th century Vienna and it's a political intrigue novel. Although it sounds fascinating and I would love to be able to visit some of the historical sites while reading the book.
I haven't read any of these yet, but I have a copy of P.S. I Still Love You sitting right here waiting for me to pick it up, so I think I'll be starting that soon! Great post this week. :) -Jessica

DeleteThe Carriger series is a fun one. Plus, you would be prepared to turn an umbrella or hat into a weapon! lol
