We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is: Books for Armchair Travelers (Submitted by Laurie C @ Bay State Reader’s Advisory)
I was tempted to skip today’s topic because I wasn’t feeling very inspired but I’m going to make this list a mix of locations from fantasy and the real world. Armchair traveling is definitely the cheapest and most convenient way to experience new places, cultures, and environments, and who doesn’t love that? I know I’m thankful I get to experience various places in this world (and those in our imaginations) every day that I can pick up a book and go there!
Travel through Fantasy
Go on swashbuckling adventures in a Medieval Indian Ocean setting in The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi.
Experience Korean Ghibli-esque wonder in The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea.
Get lost in this Japean-inspired otherworldly (also) Ghibli-esque fantasty world in Water Moon.
Experience a queer positive space-world influenced by Indonesian culture in Lunar Boy
Settle in for a cosy time (with cinnamon rolls + coffee!) at this brand new cafe in Legends & Lattes.
Travel the World
Take a road trip across the US in You, With A View.
Learn about Syria and heartbreaking history in As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow.
Go to Rhode Island and visit the Tulip farm from In A Jam.
Bask in the wildness of Alaska (and maybe fall in love) in The Simple Wild.
Learn about Vietnamese history through own voices with The Mountains Sing.
Have you read any of these books or are they on your TBR? What have been your favourite places to visit through armchair travel?

From your list, I’ve only read Legends and Lattes. I’m hoping to read Brigands and Breadknives soon.
