Up in the Air

Fly Girl by Ann Hood

The Great Stewardess Rebellion: How Women Launched a Workplace Revolution at 30,000 Feet by Nell McShane Wulfhart

February 5, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

I got approved for two books about flight attendants one right after another on NetGalley – so all of you must cope with a themed double post from me. Fly Girl – 3.5 stars Ann Hood became a flight attendant at TWA in 1978 and worked there for many years. In this book, she recounts the places she saw and the people she met, and how the shifting culture of air travel at the time affected her and her job. I do like to travel, […]

One bada$$ Girl!

Girl on a Motorcycle by Amy Novesky

December 7, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Girl on a Motorcycle is a poetic look at the strength one woman, Anne-France Dautheville, had have to beat the odds and find a place (or in this case the world) she was most happy. Anne-France wanted to find a place where she belonged and was able to be free. This is the true story of Dautheville, who was the first woman to ride a motorcycle around the world. Each place she goes (flying to Canada first, heading to Alaska, Japan, and other nations) has […]

Perfect armchair traveling

Literary Places by Sarah Baxter

October 31, 2021 by Wanderlustful 1 Comment

I love to travel, and the last almost two years have made it tough to scratch that itch. When I really sit back and think about it though, one of the best parts about travel is the anticipation. Before I leave I try to watch movies or read books set in there, to really get a feel for the place. Literary Places is a short, beautifully illustrated and vividly described tour through 25 cities that feature prominently in different famous literary works: southern India through […]

Life has thrown a lot at me recently, so here are all the reviews I forgot to write!

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

The Miraculous by Jess Redman

The Tea Dragon Festival by K. O'Neill

An Exchange of Gifts by Anne McCaffrey

A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher

The Sandman: Act I by Neil Gaiman

The Princess Spy by Larry Loftis

October 31, 2021 by crystalclear 2 Comments

The Bear and the Nightingale By Katherine Arden (Warning – the review of this book contains f-bombs!) I know this was supposed to be based on a fairy tale, and some parts seemed very fairy tale-like (especially the story the nanny told toward the beginning with the girls in the snow) but I did not correlate them to any story I already knew.  I appreciated the involvement of the Russian household spirits, and how the village did quite well combining their religion and their culture […]

An Adventure to Envy

Around the World in 80 Trains: A 45,000 mile Adventure by Monisha Rajesh

October 23, 2021 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: Anyone who loves to travel, who loves trains, or who is interested in different perspectives on travel. In a nutshell: Author Rajesh and her fiance Jem take off on a 7 month trek across Europe, North America, and Asia. Worth quoting: “On my travels, it had become apparent that development and modernity posed a direct threat to the enjoyment of many travellers, disgruntled that the world should adapt and progress at the expense of their own pursuit of the exotic…Granted, most of us […]

Where the Lemon-Trees Blossom

Nights of Rain and Stars by Maeve Binchy

October 23, 2021 by blauracke Leave a Comment

When a fatal boat accident happens in a small village on a Greek island, it leads four travellers from four different countries to strike up an unlikely friendship. They are all trying to escape personal problems and resolve them by travelling. The four main characters are very likable, as well as the supporting Greek characters, but they are all mostly cookie-cutter, only defined by the big struggle in their life, and they all have one. Thomas doesn’t know how to handle his relationship with his […]
