My "unplugged" Vacation Reads

I'm going camp in a cabin for a few days. It's my FAVORITE type of vacation because with the lack of cell service and nature all around you, it's the perfect place to sit and read without worrying about much else. Last year I only brought 2 books and it wasnt enough so even if i dont finish them all at least i will definitely have something to read. Now, onto my books and why I picked them:

📙Tower of Dawn by Sarah J Maas

*It's my current read, and I'm almost done. It's taken me forever to finish it because I've been so busy with moving house but I'm determined to finish it

🐦‍⬛Weyward by Emilia Hart

*I've wanted to read this for so long, and I think it's the perfect vibe, especially with fall right around the corner

💙The Shadow of Persesus by Claire Heywood

*Another one I've been so excited to read but haven't gotten to yet. Love love love retellings

🐇What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

*Another one that's the perfect vibe. It's a short one i'm really, really excited to start

... Read moreAs we seek moments of tranquility amid the hustle of daily life, many readers are turning to books as the perfect companions for their unplugged vacations. Whether it's a cozy cabin or a serene beach, having the right reading material is essential for those wanting to disconnect from technology and immerse themselves in great stories. 'Weyward' by Emilia Hart, a tale intertwining love and magic, beautifully sets the tone for fall, while 'Tower of Dawn' by Sarah J. Maas captivates those eager for a thrilling fantasy narrative. Readers are also gravitating towards mythology retellings such as 'The Shadow of Perseus' by Claire Heywood, which promises to rejuvenate classic tales. Lastly, 'What Moves the Dead' by T. Kingfisher adds a touch of gothic horror, making it a short, enticing read for brisk autumn evenings. These selected titles highlight the diversity and richness of contemporary literature, perfect for sparking discussions within book clubs or sharing on social media platforms like BookTok. Remember, the essence of a good vacation book is not just its plot but also its ability to transport you into different eras, cultures, and experiences. Explore these recommendations, and embark on your next literary adventure!
