Happy Tuesday! Today’s TTT topic is a Non-Book Freebie. You didn’t really think I would go without mentioning a book, did you? 😉 Today I am sharing some places I have visited in the past few years and the books I either read while there or read prior to going. It’s a win-win — you get to find out a little more about me and I get to talk books. LOL!
For more non-book posts (or not), check out That Artsy Reader Girl.
Places I Have Visited (and the books that went with me)
Zion National Park — my whole family traveled there in March of this year. While they were more adventurous in their hikes, I did see some of the park’s beauties. I read America’s First Daughter by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie while there.
Shetland Islands — last fall my husband and I traveled to the northernmost part of the UK. We even sampled the fish and chips at the northernmost chip shop. I read False Pretense by Heather Day Gilbert while there. That’s Jimmy Perez’s house (if you are a fan of Shetland, you know) and that’s the view from the hotel.
Yellowstone National Park — we went to Yellowstone in the fall of 2021. I have tons of pictures, but I think a geyser says it all. Nope, it’s not Old Faithful, although we did see it erupt a number of times. I read Noble Calling by Rhona Weaver prior to my trip.
Alaska was amazing. We headed up to Talkeetna for a glimpse of Denali, then took a 7 day cruise with fabulous excursions. Glacier Bay pictured below was awesome. I read a number of books prior to that trip, you can find them HERE.
The North Georgia Mountains is my happy place! Yes the mountains may be more like tall hills, but I love them. The pics are of a few visitors we have had in our little slice of heaven. All just outside our windows. I’ve been listening to Turn to Me by Becky Wade, and it calls up all that I love about the area. I’ve just gotten to the part where the treasure hunt takes Luke and Finley to Blood Mountain. It is just a few miles south of our getaway home and a favorite hike of my husband.
What a great idea to share not only the places you have visited, but the books you read while you were visiting them.
Thx!!
You’ve seen so many amazing places!

Great topic! I thought about doing travel as well and didn’t, LOL.
Thx! These non-book topics are tough.
What a fun idea!
You’ve visited some beautiful places! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Love the way you did this! I just shared places I’ve been for my post this week, but I definitely could have matched them with the books I read whilst there as well, it’s so lovely when a particular book conjures a memory of a place for you!

This is a fun idea for a post! I don’t travel a lot, but I do have vivid memories of which books I read on camping trips.
