Welcome to Booking Through Thursday, a weekly bookish meme about books and reading for everyone who loves both. Booking Through Thursday was first hosted by Deb. With permission, I’ve restarted it in 2026.
This week’s prompt:
Be it train, plane, or automobile, you’re off on a long trip. What book (or type of book) is your travel companion? Something slim and easy to carry? A huge tome to keep you occupied during layovers or long stretches of highway? Or maybe it’s an audiobook. Let us know who’s coming along on your journey.
What book (or type of book) would you take on a long road trip?
How to play:
- On your blog: Copy the question/image for your blog, answer it there, and post a quick comment here with a link or trackback to your post so we can read it.
- On social media: Copy the image, answer the prompt, and post a quick comment here with a link.
- Right here: Answer in the comments and start the discussion here. No need to have a blog to play.
Note: If it’s your first time here, your comment may end up in moderation. (My spam filter is aggressive.) I’ll be in after my writing sprints to set it free.
P.S. The prompt is always open, and you don’t have to play on Thursday. Comment whenever you like!

Oh, who wants to make choices like that? I’m bringing my Kindle, loaded for bear!
That is probably the best option. That way you don’t have to worry about picking the right book.
If I’m going on a long trip, I like to have an equally long book to read, like a traveling companion. Generally something adventurous, not too light, but not too serious either.
