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 New Orleans.
Books Finished:
Somewhere in France
I took this book with me, because I always like to have a paperback for flights. I still read my Kindle, but have gotten burned on a couple of flights where the flight attendant wouldn’t let me use my Kindle during takeoff and landing.
This story is set at the very beginning of, and the during World War I, and follows Lady Elizabeth “Lilly” in her journey toward being the woman that she wants to be, as well as in her romance with her brother’s best friend. It was a beautiful and well written story, with its funny, scary, and sweet moments. I loved it, and am so glad that I had picked it up for the trip.
Mosquitoes
I finished Somewhere In France while in New Orleans, so I needed another for the trip back home. I picked this one up at Faulkner House Books, as I couldn’t imagine not buying a Faulkner book while at the store. The characters are all initially somewhat repulsive, but redeem themselves in the end. I hadn’t previously read much Faulkner, but think that I’ll probably read more in the future, as his writing style is growing on me.
Books Abandoned:
None.
