When I travel, I always find time to get a bit of reading time in. Car trips, flights, and relaxing by a pool or on a beach afford ample time to read fantastic books. Here is What I Read while traveling to Guadeloupe. I hope you too will enjoy these three great books.

The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II
Did you know that the Manhattan Project was staffed in large part by women? I didn’t; but this book showed what jobs a few of them women did, and what they’re lives were like. A fascinating look at World War II on the home front.
The Passion of Marie Romanov
A fictionalized account of the life of one of the Romanov children, this book was a quick and engaging read. It appeared that the author had done a considerable amount of research into the subject matter before writing the novel, book is an accurate depiction into what her life was like.
The Odds of Loving Grover Cleveland
I truly loved this book. It made me laugh and cry, and on an airplane at that! It follows the stories of several teenagers who are sent to a camp in Michigan for those with mental health or emotional problems. But there are compelling reasons behind the teens’ actions. And the characters e that you want to root for. I recommend giving this book a chance, even though (or because) the plot is unique and quirky.
