Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup hosted by The Broke And The Bookish!
I know that this isn't what the girls over at The Broke and The Bookish meant when they picked "Authors in My Reading Journey", but it's no secret that I travel a lot. I decided that I'm going to give you a list of the 10 authors who's books I read for the first time while I was traveling. I might even tell you where I was when I read them. So sit back and get ready.
Authors Who's Books I Read While Traveling:
"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" by Ann Brashares: I can't remember where I was going when I picked this one up, but I do know that I bought it at the airport and that I fell in love with this series because of that decision!
"Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell: I started this one on a two week road trip through Oregon and Washington State. I didn't finish it on the trip, but it became a favorite of mine.
"Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging" by Louise Rennison: I read this one when I was 20 and on my first plane to London! It felt appropriate and made me laugh.
"If I Stay" by Gayle Forman: I cried my eyes out on planes and trains as I covered the first part of my 7 weeks of European adventures two years ago. I loved it!. I also read "Where She Went." Gayle is now one of my favorite contemporary authors.
"Princess of the Midnight Ball" by Jessica Day George: After I was done with Forman's books I needed more and so I turned to my Amazon app on my phone and read this one in two days in a little house in Belfast.
"The Nine Lives of Chloe King" by Liz Braswell: I finished this one while I was still on the Europe trip. I'm not sure where I was, but I do remember not loving this one. You can't win them all.
"Vixen" by Jillian Larkin: I snagged this one for the plane ride home and almost finished it by the time the flight ended. I have both of her other books, cause I liked this one so much, but I haven't read them yet.
"Cinder" by Marissa Meyer: I started this one on a road trip to LA. Of course, I fell in love with the book and the series!
"Just One Day" by Gayle Forman: Yes, Forman is on this list again! I read this one while I was in Paris last year. It was cool to read about the place I was in, while being there.
"Code Name Verity" by Elizabeth Wein: I finished this one in a beach house the day before one of my childhood best friend's weddings. I don't know if that was the greatest idea, since it made me bawl my eyes out with the most epic/tragic friendship ever!
Well there's my list! What's on yours? I wanna know. Leave your link below or tell me in the comments!

I love Cinder and Just One Day, unfortunately I feel great shame for the fact that I still have not read If I Stay, great shame! =)

Great list!
And I just got a massive smile on my face when I read your sidebar because Leslie Knope happens to be my hero too :)
This is a great list. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants helped me get into YA a lot more.
I LOVE this so much. I too travel a lot and have enjoyed many books in many different places. I love that you included what you read when and where you read it! So great!
