The 6 Best Travel Books to Read (when you can’t travel IRL)

The 6 Best Travel Books to Read (when you can’t travel IRL)

Genevieve Fullan April 21, 2021 July 11, 2021

Well, here we are again. Stay at home orders. Lockdown. Whatever it is we’re calling it these days. If you’re in Toronto, like we are, you never really left. Either way, the pandemic fatigue is real and we miss the days of travelling, so in the meantime we’ll have to …

We (Jette lol) are out of romance reads (not reall We (Jette lol) are out of romance reads (not really lol). Waiting on a few from the library, but the current borrowed pile is all caught up. It’s weird not to be diving into a new book boyfriend. It’s also time for a break. We’re gonna do some spooky reads. The weather might not seem autumnal, but it is for us, and that means creepy reads. 

Currently reading (not pictured) the novel adaptation of Something Is Killing the Children, Jette’s fave graphic novel series, by James Tynion IV and Kiersten White.

Who knew there were paleontological romances, and Who knew there were paleontological romances, and who knew I would need them all! 

We went to the Fossil Feud book launch with @maggienorthauthor and @stephaniearcherauthor in conversation, hosted by @hopelessromanticbooks , and it was so fun. Made me even giddier to read about Ripley and James.

I was very excited to get into Arden and Lincoln’s I was very excited to get into Arden and Lincoln’s story! She was the elusive artist sibling. We only got glimpses of her in other books, and I wanted to know her history. And Linc is perfect for her! (But also, as an artist myself, I would love a rich man to encourage and support my artistic endeavours hee hee)

And yes, I have already started reading Chasing Shelter 🤭

The audio production on this one is so good and I'm completely hooked by this story with its creepy seaside zombie vibes. 

Also peep the cutest little lobster stitch markers from @_soft.spoken which match this project perfectly.

It's actually entirely predictable that Miller and It's actually entirely predictable that Miller and Kai in Caught Up are my favourites of the Windy City couples so far, but I can't help it. I love them so much!

Kai loves his family so hard and is so sweet to Miller. And as someone who is always striving for perfection and loves baking for the people they care about, I found Miller very relatable.

I'm so glad I get to stay in their orbit for the next book.

As someone who grew up in Footloose, I find storie As someone who grew up in Footloose, I find stories like this always intriguing. Plus we have a podcast where we talk about teen dramas and went through all of One Tree Hill šŸ˜

Certainly lots to think about after listening to this one, especially with the possible drama between the OTH women due to beliefs, etc., so this was more for research and curiosity. We talked about it a bit on the Summer Hangout episode if you want to know more thoughts šŸ™ƒ

I got Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep by @paul I got Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep by @paulgtremblay as an ALC from @librofm and @williammorrowbooks and I’m still trying to wrap my mind around it. But that’s also why I love reading and finding books like that. I don’t need everything explained or to make sense. Just blow my mind and make me think. 

Highly recommend listening to the audiobook. I haven’t seen what the text looks like on the page but I think the recording really added to the experience. It feels very close to home, given how technology is moving today, and that is what makes it scary. 

We did an episode on Tremblay’s Cabin at the End of the World, and I can’t wait to read even more.

Summer is (finally) winding down, and it’s time fo Summer is (finally) winding down, and it’s time for a hangout episode! As you know, we are not made for the heat, so we’ve slowed down a bit on the reading and the writing—but don’t worry, we’re still absolutely crushing our reading goals.

Gen has done a surprising number of summer activities, and we’ve even done a bunch together, including a baseball game, a book launch, and a visit to Toronto’s Book Bar.

I was sobbing by page 22, and I don’t know if I st I was sobbing by page 22, and I don’t know if I stopped until I was done. 

The final book in Bailey Hannah’s Wells Ranch series delivers a punch to the heart in the best way. We had been waiting. We saw Kate and Jackson’s love through the first few books, but to get their story done this way. Wow, just wow. 

@baileyhannahwrites Imma need a new ranch asap k thanks bye

Currently reading book two of the Windy City serie Currently reading book two of the Windy City series by Liz Tomforde and can I just say...Ryan Shay! So glad Jette was able to lend me her copies so I could climb out of the library hold trenches. (All the love to the library, of course, but I wanted them sooner!)

Don't get me wrong, Stevie and Zanders were cute, too, but Indy and Ryan have my whole heart. They just want what's best for each other, no matter what. I just need them to figure out that the obsession is mutual soon please!

If you're looking for a short and sweet summer rea If you're looking for a short and sweet summer read with haunted house vibes and a dash of folk horror, look no further than Wylding Hall.

Told in the style of an oral history, Wylding Hall tells the story of '70s folk band Windhollow Faire through a series of interviews with the remaining band members. They recount the making of the album that made them famous, recorded during a single summer at the manor house Wylding Hall. It doesn't take them long to realize that something strange is going on in the old house, but it still seems to the band like a perfect artsy summer until it isn't.

The vibes are: A bit of The Wicker Man mixed with Daisy Jones and the Six while a '70s folk record plays in the background and a summer breeze rustles pages of old occult books in an abandoned manor library.
