February Armchair Travel Plans

I am only traveling to three international countries this month. Thailand, Singapore and Russia are on my list. Ann Bennett's Bamboo Island takes place in Thailand. It is a WWII historical fiction novel of the Thai-Burma Railway that POWs built.

I will then fly to Singapore to read Aunty Lee's Delights. This Ovidua Yu novel has been on my tbr list for quite awhile. Juhea Kim's City of Night Birds takes place in St. Petersburg, Russia. It rounds out my armchair travel in February. I had intended to read the book last month but fell short of the goal. This story is about a ballerina. The rest of my armchair travels are in the U. S. for several mysteries. I am definitely visiting Boston and Amish country in Shipshewana, IN and Arthur, IL. 

Where are you traveling this month?

October Armchair Travel Plans

Next month I will be traveling via the armchair to six countries. With my supersonic mind I will be flying to Israel, Iran, Spain, Italy, Burma and China with books written by Rachel Kadish, Guy Gavriel Kay, Marjan Kamali, Charmaine Craig, Ken Tentarelli, and Maxine Hong Kingston.  I will be transported to the 1930s as well as the medieval era. The books from my bookshelf that I will be reading can be seen in the below book covers.
