Love-a-thon: Mini-Challenge #8: Bookish Road Trip

Hosted by: Alexa of Alexa Loves Books, Cee of The Novel Hermit, Kristin of Super Space Chick & Mel of The Daily Prophecy

If I had $$$ I would travel the world! But wouldn’t it be super fun if my favorite characters would join me on said trip?For this virtual trip around the world (and maybe beyond), I will be taking with me the following characters

I don’t usually get to travel as often as I want, but I always dreamed of visiting Europe. What this would mean is that I would LOVE to visit all the historical sites and castles! In fact, I have family in Europe who I can also visit! Not only that, I am fascinated by history and ancient buildings and monuments and anything ancient!

For this virtual trip around the world (and maybe beyond), I will be taking with me the following characters with me. Because, why not?

The Pilot: Carswell Thorne (The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer)

Who doesn’t want Thorne take the wheel? I will! He is the perfect pilot. He is already a pro at evading Thaumaturges and has a long history of talking to his ship (er car)!

The AI: Aiden (Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff)

Shudderrrrr x 10! Why wouldn’t you want a crazy pyscho artificial intelligence being to be on a trip with you? I mean, isn’t it better to have him on your side rather than against you?

The Historian: Vlad Tepesh (The Night Prince by Jeaniene Frost)

We all know that Vlad is ancient. Like REALLY ancient. So, why wouldn’t you want him to be there to give you the run down on all things historical about the places you would visit? Plus, it helps that he can burn anything to a crisp with his mind. This means we can have s’mores ALL THE TIME! Oh, and he can also hook us up with Mencheres when we visit Egypt!

The Chef: Celaena Sardothien (Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas)

Okay, so technically Celaena is NOT a chef, BUT she will definitely hook us up with unlimited CHOCOLATE CAKE! I mean, if I can just have chocolate cake every day, I would be in heaven!

The Bodyguards: Cat & Bones (The Night Huntress by Jeaniene Frost)

You need a kickass duo on your trip! From killing vampires to demolishing the undead, Cat and Bones will help protect you from the otherworldly beings! Not to mention teach you a thing or two on how to stake someone! Oh, and wouldn’t it be super exciting to have Bones and the Showhound on your team?

The Scientist: Theo (Firebird Trilogy by Claudia Gray)

Do you fancy a trip in time? Or maybe a trip to another universe? Hell yeah! Enter Theo, our resident physicist who helped create the Firebird, a device used for time travel!

The Physician: Audrey Rose (Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco)

When traveling, you should be prepared for anything, including accidents. What better way than to have your own physician (in training)! Audrey Rose will be there (with a scalpel) to save the day!

The Planner: Kaz Brekker (Six of Crows Duology by Leigh Bardugo)

When going on a trip, you need to plan ahead. What better way to plan ahead by enlisting the help of criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker? He WILL NOT leave anything to chance and is always three steps ahead. Which is really helpful when going on a long road trip!

The Financer: Lilac LaRoux (These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner)

When going on a trip, you need Benjamins and a never ending line of credit, right? Lilac LaRoux will have you covered! The heir of LaRoux industries, she will hook you up with the best ship that travels at light speeds between worlds!

The Mechanic: Linh Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer)

As I said earlier, you should be prepared for anything while traveling! I also want to have THE best mechanic in all of Luna, the one, and only Cinder!

The Navigator: Nix (The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig)

Before I forget, we should ALWAYS have a navigator to help steer us on the right course! With Nix’s ability to go to places in time AND even fictional, as long as there is a map, we should be set! And I’m pretty sure this trip would be super exciting with Nix as the navigator.

The Magician: Zahra (The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury)

Lastly, I would also want a magician on my trip. In case we get stuck in the middle of nowhere, or buried in the Cave of Wonders, we would have someone who has the expertise to magic as outta there!
