Books

A goal during my time spent traveling was to read more books! There is a lot of downtime when you’re traveling, but even more when you’re a solo traveler. I have found I love to bring my book with me to a bar when I’m having a drink or out to dinner with me when I’m dining solo! You’re never really alone when you have a good book with you!

Here are some of the amazing books I have read over the past year or so. I’ll admit, not all of them are from my travel time. Some are just so wonderful that I wanted to include in a book list while others are recent rereads for me since it had been so long since I first picked them up! I love sharing book recommendations with friends, so a page dedicated to this was a must for me to include with my travel stories.
