I’m off on vacation! I will be gone for four weeks. Have no fear, I will be posting regularly. Probably more than I normally post because I will be doing a whole bunch of cool stuff. Not only will there be food and travel posts, but I will continue reviewing a bunch of books. I already have a couple done and ready to go.
So. What am I bringing to read?
Fruit of the Drunken Tree by Ingrid Roja Contreras
One of the most anticipated novels of the summer, I’m excited to dig in.
No One Tells You This by Glynnis Macnicol
Simon & Schuster sent me this book, and I’m excited to read a new feminist memoir.
Born a Crime by Trevor Noah
I’ve been wanting to read this, and I’m getting around to it!
The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein
I’m anticipating this to be a very sobering book, but I like a dose of reality on vacation.
The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak
This was suggested to me, and I can’t wait to read my first Turkish author.
I Must Say by Martin Short
I have always enjoyed Martin Short’s comedy, so this should be good.
My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinem
The iconic feminist has lived her life traveling finally starts telling her stories from the road.
The Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stradal
As an Iowan on my way to the midwest, this is a no brainer.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
I’m rereading this because it was a favorite of mine when I was a whole lot younger.
The Singles Game by Lauren Weisberger
A fun, light read about the intense world of elite tennis by the author of The Devil Wears Prada.
Ten books to last me four weeks. Hopefully I will read them all. It’s the goal! Luckily, I’ll be in the vicinity of bookstores my entire trip, so if I run out I can always go buy more!
