I love to read so can't go anywhere without taking some books. I also signed up for access to online books at Libby and Hoopla but really prefer actual books in hand not my phone.
For the trip to Spain I had to consider that books may weigh too much so when I stopped at the Free Library I found three paperback books of interest that once read I can leave behind for someone else to read.
I'm familiar with the authors Dick Francis and Linda Greenlaw but not Raffaella Barker. I started the latter's book to see if I'd like it and I think it will do. If I need more there may be books left in the apartment we have, at least that was the case when we traveled to Barcelona. Then as a last resort there are the books online to find.
I'm ready!
Update: Oops! No I'm not. After packing these books discovered my carryon was over the weight limit. Things had to come out like the water bottle and three books. Instead I downloaded books on Libby and Hoopla.
We just returned from Vancouver Island whereI actually bought four books and schlepped them home. Big ones too. We found a second hand bookstore right out of Charles Dickens. I could have stayed there for a week.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense.
ReplyDelete...happy travels and reading.
ReplyDeleteI mostly use my Kindle for reading these days, which makes for a lot less clutter at home. Reference books and photography books still have to be the real thing. Happy travels!
ReplyDeleteI only took Kindle books and audio books on our recent trip abroad for the same reasons you mentioned here, Marcia.
