Happy Tuesday y’all! This week for Top Ten Tuesday, Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl wants us to share book covers that all have something in common. After the last few years, I think we all want to travel and see more of the world. Am I wrong? So this week, I decided to share some books with modes of transportation on their covers. And not just planes, trains, and automobiles. Who’s ready to travel?
I have only read two books out of the 15 listed below. All of the links will take you to Goodreads.

Fun topic. I was thinking of modes of transportation as well, but decided on urban skylines. I have read Welcome to the School by the Sea and enjoyed it.
Ooh, I like this theme! Very fun. It makes me want to go for a bike ride.

Wow! Look at all the modes of transportation you managed to find.
What a fun theme! Transportation covers are great because they signify a trip and we all know those can be unpredictable. You could encounter adventure, romance, danger…anything, really. I do love a good transportation-themed cover. Nice list!
Happy TTT!

Great choice of topic! It’s making me think about what books I’ve read with transport on the cover and I can recall very little 😂 But I do have a few of these on my TBR and they look great!
The Coyote Sunrise cover is so cute.
I never would have thought of canoes or surfboards xD These seem to cross so many genres, too. I really thought it would be almost all romance and/or historical fiction!
That is so fun! I would never have thought to include a dog sled or a surfboard in this list, but they fit!

What a great twist on this week’s topic! I never realized how many books feature modes of transportation, and love the list you came up with.
This is clever and not a theme that I’ve seen anywhere else today! Of course the Agatha Christie one has to be my favorite.
Happy TTT!

Such a great post! I love that you showcased a wide variety of transportation!
Love how all of these are different and that they immediately let you know you’re about to go on a journey.
I especially love the covers that have older cars or bikes. My favorite is The Pearl Thief because of the setting and colors.
Great list! I loved Geekerella!! I really want to read Coyote Sunrise!
Thanks for the visit – clever idea for a theme – and it actually gives lots of different looking covers! You did a great job of representing lots of different modes of getting around. Looking forward to next week.
Very cool theme to spot! I know I have seen boats a lot (usually for books with holidays/ beach trips). But you added a whole new level of interesting travel. 🙂
I’ve read a couple of these, The Alice Network which I loved and The Pearl Thief which I really enjoyed too. I love seeing the old style cars on their covers!
