Welcome to Tuesday Book Chat where we discuss bookish questions.
Each week we ask a bookish question to spark conversation among readers, with a focus on Christian fiction and nonfiction.
Today’s question is:
Do Map Inserts Make Novels Better or Easier to Navigate?
We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Please join in the conversation by commenting on this post or on the blog post shared in our Australasian Christian Writers Facebook Group. Remember to comment today on Tuesday Book Chat to enter the giveaway.

It depends on the book but I do find it helps especially with fantasy books. But also where there are several locations. They are much better in print books than Ebooks.
Your turn.
I look forward to reading your comments here or at the FB group.

I would say it probably depends on the book, but visuals are nice, especially in print books. I’m not sure I would really use it in ebooks though.
I agree in Ebooks not as easy to read but in print books they are really good. Thanks for commenting
I like seeing maps sometimes – it can help make sense of where things are in a long series if places are referred back to. Right now I’m thinking of Irene Hannon’s Hope Harbor series which is now more than 12 books and places around the town are frequently mentioned even if they aren’t the main focus in the newest book.
Thank makes sense too. Some its helpful others I don’t tend to refer too.
I’m fine without maps.
God bless,

Thanks for commenting, Kim I think we have 3 groups Those who love them, those who don’t mind them and those who like them in some book but others are fine without.
I definitely enjoy map inserts.
Hi Taylor, I do like them in some books and can add to the story.
