✨ Vacation Reads ✨

We just got back from a week long vacation to West Virginia! We go every year to Tucker County, this was our 7th time, I think! This year, I really un-plugged and tried not to do much work (digital designs) or use of my phone besides photos - but on the ride up & back, I did listen to both Filthy Rich Fae & Fallen Court!

I actually had put off these books because I know the series isn’t done but they were both available, so I went ahead and downloaded & wish I had waited. What a cliffhanger. 😭

Anyway! Do you read on vacation & What is your fav. Vacation read?

... Read moreReading during vacations is a cherished tradition for many, offering both relaxation and an escape into captivating stories. Taking a break in scenic locations like West Virginia's Tucker County adds a perfect backdrop for immersing yourself in fantasy books such as Filthy Rich Fae and Fallen Court. These novels, although part of ongoing series with cliffhangers, provide a thrilling listening and reading experience that complements the peaceful surroundings. Unplugging from daily digital demands enhances the quality of vacation reads. Many travelers find that limiting phone use – except for snapping photos – allows deeper engagement with their books, whether by listening on road trips or reading during quiet moments. The views from spots like Seneca Rocks Overview Platform and Dolly Sods create memorable settings that can enrich your connection with the narrative. If you’re debating whether to dive into a series that’s unfinished, consider the emotional investment and the excitement of anticipating future releases. It can add a unique layer to your reading journey as you join fellow readers in shared anticipation. Ultimately, choosing the right vacation read depends on your interests. Fantasy books often offer immersive worlds and complex characters that can transport you far from everyday life. Whether you prefer digital audiobooks or physical copies, curating a selection of vacation reads tuned to your preferences will make any trip even more enjoyable and rejuvenating.

We’ve all heard the phrases “summer reading” or “beach reads”, right? I’ve noticed for me, personally, when I go on vacation, I like to bring a book that I think will be lighthearted - usually a sweet romance or something funny. While those genres are in my usual rotation too, there’s just somethin
