Happy Tuesday, y’all! This week, Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl has handed the reins for picking the topic to Cathy from What Cathy Read Next. And what did Cathy decide on? Planes, trains, and automobiles! It’s traveling season, so why wouldn’t we want to think about books that feature modes of transportation? After looking through the books I’ve read recently, I’ve focused on book covers with planes. So, who’s leaving on a jet plane with me?

Half of these books are historical fiction set during World War II, but there are also a few non-fiction books. The titles will take you to the book’s Goodreads page.

So, let’s get going! Who’s leaving on a jet plane?

    1. Yes it is Mark Harmon fron NCIS writing a book with a retired NCIS agent. The book is an interesting look at the how the organization got it’s start. And the impact of WWII in Hawaii.

  6. I don’t read non-fiction titles (it’s SO rare though I have read) but Come Fly the World does have a cool cover art. The Woman with No Name also has an intriguing look. May be one I need to read more about. And I always forget that “Gibbs” (aka Mark Harmon) wrote a book! Thanks so much for visiting my website today.

  7. I didn’t even consider that it’s travel season and how the topic fits so perfectly! 😂 I surprisingly struggled with today’s topic although I’m sure I’ve read my share of books with planes (and other modes of transport) on the covers!

  9. OOh nice! Those are all new to me ones! I think I just know of the one book that has a plane on it…and it’s the inside of said plane! Lol.

    Thanks for visiting my TTT!

  11. great picks! And now I’m singing the song 🙂 I’d add Walking on Hidden Wings by Rachel Scott McDaniel and The Foxhole Victory Tour by Amy Lynn Green too. Thanks for stopping by Reading Is My SuperPower 🙂

  20. So many books and their covers feature airplanes! It’s not my favorite mode of travel, but I do like being able to get to my destination quickly. Air travel is uncomfortable and a little scary, but at least it’s fast.

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

  22. I love your twist on this week’s topic – all of the airplanes make me want to book a ticket to somewhere, anywhere right about now. Preferably Antarctica, since it’s super hot around here and the AC broke. Speaking of, I also love that you included Someone Else’s Bucket List on your list! I read that one and loved it so much, but it also inspired a serious desire for me to visit Antarctica. Unfortunately, it didn’t change my financial situation, so it looks like my travel will only be vicarious.

    1. I understand the feeling! Hopefully the heat breaks soon, and you’ll find some relief.
