Love that you included Murder on the Orient Express. What a great list of travel-related books.
Thanks- I want to read more Agatha Christie this summer!
Great list! I wish I had added The Hobbit or LOTR to my list this week because there was plenty of travel and exploring involved in both books xD
You’re the second person I’ve seen this week mentioning The Painted Veil; loved the movie, been meaning to read the book. One day…soon…lol

Great list! The Hobbit is perfect! I love the Painted Veil as well, and The Time Traveler’s Wife — well, that book is on my perpetual read-once-a-year list!

The Time Traveler’s Wife broke my heart. Oh, man, I cried ugly tears! I have never heard of Orphan Train, but now think it’s one I definitely need to check out.
Thanks for stopping by my TTT!

Great list!!
The Hobbit! Great choice.
I like that you mixed up classics with more modern tales. And included fiction – my list seemed to be mostly non-fiction.
Heart of Darkness is an excellent choice!
LOVED The Time Traveler’s Wife! Great list!
We’ve got a couple of the same ones listed. A Moveable Feast is on my to-read list.

I’ve heard good things about The Orphan Train and Eat, Pray, Love is a lovely movie! I have the book, I must still read it though.
I must say The Painted Veil’s cover is beautiful! I’m interested in it now, is the book itself good?
I actually loved The Painted Veil, but it is very melancholy-not a happy read-but so well written you might want to give it a try.
Eat Pray Love was a great book-nad I am not a memoir person- but the middle part (the Pray) was hard to get through
