Hello everybody, my name is Cara, and today I am here with the Book-Travel Tag.
This tag was originally created by The Melodramatic Bookworm and I was tagged by the fabulous
Katie from ASeaofTomes and I will of course link both of them down below.
Question #1: Which is your most favorite travel book ever?
So I actually don't tend to enjoy travel books, or like books--books that have travel elements
in them but the ones that I DO like really stand out, for that reason, and recently that
was Grounded: The Adventures of Rapunzel by Megan Morrison.
I read this book really recently and I was completely engrossed the entire time.
I really loved following Rapunzel and Jack as like they traveled through this world and
they go on this kind of like quest where they're not really sure what they're doing on it,
so they're kind of just exploring the world and like meeting new characters and I just
think like that was such a well-done part of this book because as I said I was completely
interested the entire time, which is not something that usually happens when there's just like
a road-trip in a book.
#2: Which was the last book that made you feel like you wanted to travel to the place
in which it was set?
And that would probably be The Real Boy by Anne Ursu.
This is a fantasy book that is a much like quieter kind of fantasy, like it's not like
filled with dragons or you know like warring kingdoms kind of thing, really.
But I just adored everything about this book, including the setting, and I feel like this
setting is one where not only would I want to visit there, but I--I think I could feasibly
actually live there or spend an extended period of time there.
'Cause even though like the events of the story are obviously--like there's high stakes
and there is some danger about living there, I think that after that is kind of taken care
of, the world itself would be a really beautiful place to just like live in and like especially
you know like meeting the characters in this book and getting to live in like these little
towns that are just--like they've got just the right amount of like whimsy and magic,
I would just really love that.
#3: Which book would you carry if you were traveling to the mountains, to a beach town,
and to a city?
For the mountains I would go with Heidi by Joanna Spyri.
I actually haven't read that book in a really long time, but I remember the setting of the
Alps, like the really beautiful landscape was a huge part of that book. and I've actually
been thinking about rereading that one soon.
For a beach town I would say The Golden City by J. Kathleen Cheney.
This is the first book in a series that I really enjoyed.
It's set in, I think--is it 1800's or 1900's, like fantasy version of Portugal.
And I really loved the magic and the worldbuilding and there are also like sirens or mermaid
lore that I think was handled in a really interesting way, and there's also like a mystery
element like these books get kind of unexpectedly dark in some places with like the murders
that happen and like things that--like things that are happening in this world, and even
though *laughs* all of that is not really sounding like a light and fluffy kind of beach
read *laughs*, I think it would be really cool to like reread these books near the water,
especially 'cause like I'm not a huge fan of the beach, so I don't necessarily want
a like fluffy contemporary that's gonna like intensify the beach vibes, if that makes any
sense?
And for the city portion of this question, I have kind of a cop-out answer: *laughs*
pretty much anything, 'cause I feel like vacationing in a city or a town, like that--it's not--like
the atmosphere of that is not so much important to the book I'm reading.
But I do think there are a few genres that I think I would enjoy more, so I'm gonna say
like fantasy, obviously *laughs*, 'cause I love fantasy and will read it in pretty much
any setting and historical fiction I think that one could also be really fun to read
in that but like it depends so much on the city that I really don't know.
#4: Which fantasy place would you love to travel to?
I'm going with Ferenwood from Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi.
Now, not um *laughs*, not Furthermore, not that like dangerous magical world, I mean
like Ferenwood that's like just a little bit of magic and it's really whimsical and beautiful
and like the food sounds amazing, for one thing, and I also just really like the way
that the--the things are described?
Like the beautiful setting.
I feel like for me description in books is something that it's really easy to overdo,
and this book, despite it being very description-focused, like this magical whimsical world is so brilliant
and so bright and colorful, it never felt overdone to me.
And I would just really love to see and hang out in Ferenwood for a while with some of
those like magical objects and like a lot of the food and just like the whole world
just sounds really beautiful and maaaaybe relaxing?
Maybe?
Definitely more than Furthermore would be.
#5: Which fantasy place would you NEVER travel to?
Ever! *laughs* There are quite a few I could answer for that one, but I'm gonna go with
the world from The Queen of Blood by Sarah Beth Durst, because that world, while it's
really interesting and well-described and it makes for a very exciting story, like the
conflicting air and water and earth [and fire I think] spirits that are like constantly
trying to murder humans, like that's like their main focus in life is to like kill humans...I
don't think I would enjoy that! *laughs* Like, I really don't think I would want to hang
out in that fantasy world for any amount of time.
#7: Which collection of short stories would you take along, if you went city-hopping?
And I'm going with a recent reread and a recently like rediscovered favorite and that is Book
of Enchantments: 10 Tales of Wonder by Patricia C. Wrede.
I actually have a full [spoiler-free] review on this which I will link in the description,
but I loved this.
And one of the things I really loved were how different all of the stories were and
like even though of course they're all fantasy, they interpret it in such different ways and
like the tone and the atmosphere is so different in each one, that I think whichever place
I was vacationing in, I could find one or more stories that really just like fit in
with that mood or that feeling.
#6 is Which travel character do you think would make a great travel companion for you?
And kind of taking inspiration from Katie here, um, *laughs* I'm going with Legolas
from the Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R.
Tolkien.
I really like him, he's one of my favorite characters from the series, and I feel like
he would be a very useful travel companion too, 'cause he has amazing reflexes and senses,
so he could see if there were any--any danger goin' on, he would be fun to hang out with
'cause again he's one of my favorite characters.
I just feel like he's very skilled as like a fighter and he's also really smart and he
would probably have some of that like magical lembas, like the elf bread, I think that's
what it's called, um.
I just feel like all around he'd be a solid like traveling companion, like I'd want to
hang out with him, and he also might save my life, so.
Plus you know if he looks like Orland Bloom that's not exactly a negative, ya know?
And finally, Question #8 is Which is the best city, town, or village that you have ever
visited and which book reminds you of this place?
So I'm gonna just have to go for ONE of my favorites 'cause it's--it's really hard for
me to rank the places I've visited, even though I don't travel extensively, there's a lot
of places that I feel really connected to, but I'm gonna go with Bath from England because
that was just a really cool experience, there's so much history there, so many wonderful things
to do, but it also didn't feel like an overwhelmingly big city?
And I just really loved traveling there with my parents, we went to see the Jane Austen
Centre which was a huge, huge deal for me and my mom, and my dad enjoyed it too even
though he pretended he didn't, but it was just such a wonderful experience overall and
I'm--the book I chose for that is Princesses Behaving Badly by Linda Rodriguez McRobbie.
I don't actually have it right now, I lent it to a friend, but that's actually a nonfiction
book and it's about, as the title would suggest, it's about like interesting women from history
who weren't given the like time [in literature, academia, etc.] they deserved, so in some
cases they're misunderstood, in some cases the book is like "This is a bad person.
But we should at least learn about her, because she was important, and you know we would've
done that if she were a man" um, and I just really loved that book and I think that it
really fits with my feeling of Bath because again like Bath has so much history to it
that I feel like that kind of book, it really, I don't know, being in Bath and reading that
book, I think would really connect you to like these past women and whether or not they
were like in that region of the world, like whether or not they lived there, I think it
would just be, I don't know, like that ancient feeling of like really tapping into all of
that history, if that makes sense.
Okay everybody, so that was the Book-Travel Tag.
I will tag a couple of people in the description.
Thank you guys so much for watching, I will see you soon with another video, and I hope
you love the next book you read.
Bye!
