Hello humans! I prefer the term ‘wanderlust’ but I’ll settle for travel bug since that is this week’s Top Ten Tuesday theme. I love to travel and it’s not something I get to do very often but there are certain books that make me desperate to run away and hop on a plane off to goodness knows where!
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and is an awesome way to discover new bloggers who like the same kind of books as you do!
The City of Brass
The City of Brass made me yearn to visit Egypt, somewhere I’ve been wanting to go for a long time, unfortunately, I don’t cope well with heat or crowds at the moment so this might be a ‘distant future’ kind of thing.
The Wicked Deep
This book just made me want to go to the sea (this may be a theme in this post if I’m honest), I know that the sea in this book is pretty dangerous but I can’t help but love it.
Fly by Night
Review Coming Soon
This book didn’t make me want to go to a specific location but it did make me want to have all kinds of adventures (homicidal goose optional).
To Kill a Kingdom
Perhaps the most unlikely (or maybe not) on this list, I would love to see the deepest parts of the ocean, I am fascinated by the way it is totally unknown and seeing it for myself would be so cool. Also, who knows, there could be mermaids and or sirens.
Tess of the Road
This book, much like Fly By Night, simply makes me want to go somewhere and do something.
The Night Circus
There are so many places in this book I would love to go, and if I could be accompanied by a magical travelling circus I suppose that would be pretty good too.
Illuminae
SPACE I WANT TO GO TO SPACE!!! (Ok this one may be the most unlikely).
The Thief Lord
This book was what first got me excited about going to Venice. I have been as a child but I think I would appreciate it so much more as an adult.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone
I’ve talked about this before, but I still want to go to Prague and I blame this book entirely.
Even the Darkest Stars
This book made me want to see huge mountain ranges with my own eyes (and I now have!!).
So there you have it, ten books that awaken the travel bug in me! Which books are/would be on your list? Let me know in the comments below and don’t forget to link to your TTT post so I can read it!

Chain Interaction 
Most of my choices were books which made me want to go to space (or other unreachable locations), so I feel ya when it comes to wanting to explore the sea. It’s nice to be able to adventure in this places through books, but it would be cool – if dangerous – to actually get to see them for ourselves.
Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday!

My husband and I went on a cruise recently and it just awakened my need to explore the ocean. I love it where you get to the point where it’s just sea on every horizon – so cool.

Definitely yes for City of Brass – I just read it the other week and it was so vivid and so evocative, I felt like I was already there.
