What should I read on vacation?
I’m gone for the next two weeks and need book recs! I’m only taking my iPad so preferably on KU (I don’t actually own a kindle 😂). Fantasy and Romantasy are my favorite but I’m open to anything you tell me is your favorite or one of the best books you’ve ever read. Also shorter is better because my July tally is not that impressive and I’d like to add a few more to feel a bit more accomplished.

Choosing the right books for vacation reading can really enhance your relaxation time, especially when you're limited to digital formats like KU on an iPad. Since you're a fan of fantasy and romantasy, picking out shorter novels or novellas can be a great strategy to enjoy multiple titles and feel accomplished during your trip. For fantasy lovers, quick reads such as ‘Uprooted’ by Naomi Novik or novellas like ‘Binti’ by Nnedi Okorafor offer immersive worlds and compelling characters within a manageable page range. If you enjoy romantasy—a blend of romance and fantasy—try titles like ‘The Beautiful’ by Renée Ahdieh or shorter series entries like ‘How to Catch a Queen’ by Alyssa Cole, which combines romance with fantasy intrigue. Additionally, don’t overlook KU hidden gems that might not be mainstream bestsellers but have devoted followings. Many readers share their favorite KU finds on forums and social media, offering a great resource when searching for high-quality, quick reads. Since you’re currently reading 'The Poison Daughter' by Sheila Masterson, you might appreciate similar dark fantasy or gothic-themed books that provide atmospheric stories without overly long commitments. To maximize your vacation reading experience, curate a list ahead of time with a mix of genres and lengths. This approach keeps your experience fresh and enjoyable, allowing you to switch between immersive fantasies or lighter romantic tales depending on your mood during downtime. Happy reading and enjoy your getaway with great books at your fingertips!
