This is turning out to be a truly satisfying summer read. Travel writer gets tapped to be something else (careful wording to avoid spoilers, but will probably tag Spoiler).

I love traveling almost as much as reading when you can combine the two it is infinitely better. I found this article on Condenast Traveler website.

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Is there a link? I'm intrigued. 6y
tournevis The link does not link to the article, and said article seems to have disappeared 6y

tournevis Took 10 minutes and I found it, searching the keyword Book. The book suggested for Canada is ridiculous. 6y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @tournevis Yeah, that book selection for us was not great. It's just political propaganda. 🤷‍♀️ 6y
GingerAntics Love this lost, feel bad for Canada in that particular choice. Really? So self serving. Many great Canadian authors have better, more representative options, certainly. 6y

This summer has been full of surprises and vacations. I've traveled a lot for work and for play with the family. And in all that traveling time, I have read. A LOT. We drove to Florida from NC to visit the mouse and we flew cross country to visit my brother and his family. It's been an amazing adventure for our family of 3, as we wait to become a family of 4. My list of books won't fit in here so, to the comments we go.

jbhops The Ringmaster's Wife - Cambron
The Key - Hughes
A Life Intercepted - Martin
Mrs Lincoln's Dressmaker - Chiaverini
The Hideaway - Denton
The Letter - Hughes
Class Mom - Gelman
The Bookshop on the Corner - Colgan
The Peach Keeper - Allen
The Plum Tree - Wiseman
Home Again - Hannah
The Book of Summer - Gable
The Midnight Line - Child
6y
jbhops The Beekeepers Ball - Wigs
Fogged Inn - Ross
The Secrets We Keep - Butland
Deep Dish, Hissy Fit, The Fixer Upper - Andrews
Close to Famous - Bauer
The Language of Flowers - Diffenbough
The Residence - Brower

jbhops It was extremely interesting reading The Residence after reading Mrs Lincoln's Dressmaker. In the Residence they talk about how few White House staff members have published tell-alls about their time in the White House, yet that's exactly what Dressmaker is! I highly enjoyed both. 6y
Cinfhen Awesome photo and what an amazing batch of books!!! Sounds like a perfect summer so far 😀 6y

1. Seeing some extended family at a reunion of sorts!
2. 3 or 4, so far. June is always a good reading month for me.
3. Summer. I do not like snow!
4. Toadies - Rubberneck 20th Anniversary show at The Stone Pony. Played the whole amazing album straight through. So good. (Made me feel old!)

I really can't catch a break...The last few books I've read (with the exception of maybe 1) have been disappointing. I had read Chris Pavone before, and enjoyed both The Expats and The Accident, so thought I'd give The Travelers a try. I wish I could go back in time and read something else. An overly convoluted plot, uninteresting and unlikeable characters and a narrative that was both extremely vague and verbose. I barely finished it.

Lola I‘m completely with you on this one 💯 Here‘s to your next book being a hit! 7y

When I first started this book I didn‘t find it that interesting. It was a bit of a muddled mess. There were so many characters‘ perspectives it was hard to keep track of it all. About halfway through, the book finally started picking up. The story finally started making more sense and had the action I was looking for.

Overall, this wasn‘t the most perfect thriller but it was still entertaining.

Kodak2057 I've never been much into spy/detective stuff but I've enjoyed the few Hercule Poirot and Cormoran Strike that I've read. I guess they're more detective than spy... 7y

No my usual fare but it's the "bonus book" for one of my book clubs this month and I try to be a good sport even if the book isn't one I would typically chose for myself. The first few pages grabbed me and the title is #red for today's #30DaysofReadathon prompt so....so far so good. #readathon @DeweysReadathon

Aside from the obvious and probably much chosen (Hogwarts, Pemberley, PEI of Green Gables, and anywhere in Scotland that Jamie Frasier is), I'd love to travel to the England of Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series, the Canadian wilds of Mrs. Mike by Benedict and Nancy Freedman, and the French Riviera out of c. A. Belmond's A Rather Charming Invitation. #24in48

Izai.Amorim Hey, if your flight originated from the EU you might be eligible for cash compensation. More than 3 hours of delay, if it's the airline fault, means 💰 . For the distance it's 650 euros, I guess. I don't know if it's a right that applies only to EU residents but it's worth checking out. My son's flight from Portugal was delayed a week ago, I complained and they said money will be paid. 7y
emilyhaldi Oh no 😱 the worst!! Hope you are recovering now ❤️ 7y
BookishMarginalia What a flying ordeal! Glad you're safely home! 7y
Cinfhen @Izai.Amorim thanks for the info, unfortunately I started in Tel Aviv and my flight was diverted to Boston because JFK closed airport due to storms😬it's all good now ~ sorry your son had a bad flying experience 7y
DivineDiana So sorry to learn of your travails! Traveling is always an adventure! 🛫 7y
Izai.Amorim @Cinfhen Well, natural causes and strikes are not covered, but otherwise you'd qualify because flight departed from EU (Rome) and by EU airline (Alitalia). My son learned a very good lesson: traveling is an adventure! 7y
DebinHawaii So glad you finally got there! 👍 Flight delays on top of already crazy long travel is the worst. 7y

First half of the book was great but found I could care less what happened to the main characters after awhile. I thought it was predictable and clear set up for a series. Not sure it was worth the calories I munched on as I read the book!

I liked this, though it was slow diving in as I didn't have large chunks of time to read. I kept hearing the Bourne music in my head as I read. I think I liked his other books better, but it was still a solid read. #LitsyPartyofOne

I will be working on finishing this tonight for #LitsyPartyofOne. Just getting started as I took my daughter to gymnastics and got groceries. After seeing a post about Moe's, I begged my husband to go get me Taco Bell. So not the same, but it'll do. And I am always drinking Dr. Pepper. No music, though I am sure I will hear the jangle of #pearl's collar soon.

Reading this on kindle now. It's fast moving when I have time to read, but I have been working so much that I have not had a lot of time. Today, on my day off, I have been running errands most of the day and doing laundry and menu planning. Hoping to read the rest of the night! #MAKEROOMMAKEROOM

I didn't enjoy this book as much as The Expats but still raced through the fast-paced, action-packed CIA/spy story involving quite a hapless main character. Kept me guessing right until the end, which read like a script for a blockbuster movie.

It's not a good sign when you were in the middle of reading a spy thriller, you put it down, *and then you completely forget about it!* I'll whip through this and write a proper review; but it's not looking promising as anything more than a non-thrilling thriller :-/

LitHousewife That is not good, but you're not the first to say this. My plan is to read the first book I bought years ago and that's it. 9y
Dogearedcopy I'm a little muddle-headed this morning, so bear with me: I haven't read others' reviews yet; but that's discouraging. I was kinda hoping to be proven wrong :-/ In re your plan: The first book that Pavone wrote? And what do you mean, "and that's it"? 9y
