This week, I'm going on a road trip and I'm super excited for it! Not only will there surely be a lot of beautiful scenery, there will be many hours in a car. While this normally wouldn't necessarily be a good thing, in this case it is. I'm not tasked with driving which means I get to spend that time reading! I'm one of the few people I know who doesn't get carsick while reading (thank goodness). And, since I'm chugging along toward my goal of reading 20 books this summer, this will be a perfect opportunity to make it closer to achieving that goal!
So, in preparation for the trip, I've made a short list of the books I want to take with me!
1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
I'm still doing the Harry Potter read-a-thon with my friend and we're on to the fourth book! I'm about a quarter of the way through and really enjoying it. I love this year for Harry, Ron, and Hermione (although Harry and Ron so annoy me a bit).
2. Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
I've heard so many wonderful things about this book and have admired its cover from afar for too long. I finally caved and bought it the other day and I'm so excited to dive into it! I'm already about 30 pages in and I'm hoping I can finish it on the drive!
3. Ruined by Amy Tintera
I actually randomly picked this one up at a used book sale without knowing anything about it but it sounds amazing! I checked a couple of reviews my friends have written on it and they've all really enjoyed it so I'm excited to give it a shot!
4. Lucky in Love by Kasie West
To lighten things us, I'm also bringing a nice contemporary! I'm hoping it will be good, but I have heard some negative things about it.
What do you think of the books I'm bringing? I tried to pick a few different genres, just in case I get bored with one thing or another. I'm really excited for this trip, and while there will be other things to do, I know I'm going to get a lot of reading done, which will be good. Let me know what books you would bring if you were going on a road trip!
SUCH GOOD BOOKSS!!
