A number of classic Greek and Roman myths and tales involve journeys. Read a book with the genre "travel" on its main page. The genre may be stand alone or embedded.

travel:
Live from the Road, Visit Sunny Chernobyl: And Other Adventures in the World's Most Polluted Places, Scribbling the Cat: Travels with an African Soldier, The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim, Just One Day,The Vacationers

Would "Time Travel" count as embedded? Or is that stretching things too far?

Morgan wrote: "Would "Time Travel" count as embedded? Or is that stretching things too far?"

Sorry, no, "embedded" refers to a situation where there's a >, indicating that one genre is a subset of the other. Time travel is its own separate genre

That's kind of what I figured, but wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Can you please approve Live from the Road?

Thanks Sandy!

Will this book work?
It's fiction, and has been marked as "Travel", but only by 4 people

it doesn't matter how many people have shelved that way, as long as it hits the main page. It works.

Thanks!

Please approve Just One Day for travel. Thanks!

Could I please ask, where on a book's Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ page can I see whether "travel" is part of the genre? I'm struggling to find it and I'm new to this group! Thank you :)

There's a lot of information in the rules and the moderators announcements. Try this - Main Page Genres.

Would New England be okay to use? There are a ton of pictures but I flipped through it and would say that there is definitely more than 100 pages of text. Also, not sure if I should get this noted as well, but Travel is on the main page currently with 4 users.

I haven't seen the book myself, but the only review says, "If you are ever going to use a guide book I highly recommend any of the Eyewitness series. Lot of color photos, concise descriptions, and very visual format. Face it, you just use a guide book to decide where you want to visit, but you don't want too much information since you'll get it from the primary source once you get there." Sounds like it's lots of pictures, maps, etc.

I'll look for it next time I'm in a bookstore or library, but based on the description, it's hard for me to say one way or the other.

That would be awesome, much appreciated! :) No worries if you forget/aren't able to, I have another idea for a book to use but I own that eyewitness guide and my ...pre-New Year's resolution is to knock out some of those owned books.

Hey there. I am new, this is my first challenge to participate in, and even though I have read the rules and whatnots, I am still a bit confused. Would be considered okay? Or no?

This book wouldn't work for the challenge in general, because it appears to be predominately pictures. See Rules of the Challenge - "'Coffee table', Art books, and other books consisting primarily of images or photographs without a substantial written component (essays, criticism, etc.) may not be claimed for points."

Also, as far as this task in particular, it requires that "travel" be listed as a main page genre. If you're not clear on what this is, please see the Moderators Announcement on this topic - Main Page Genres. This book has no genres listed on the main page.

I would like to read The Unimaginable by Dina Silver, travel is listed on the main page but only 2 people at the bottom of the list, afraid it might fall off. Thanks!!

I would like to read Locations by Jan Morris. Since so few people have rated the book (7 ratings), I wanted to get pre-approval. The only genre listed is Travel, but just 4 users have placed it there. Thanks!

Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
