Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, this week it is Books I Read On Vacation (Submitted by Dedra @ A Book Wanderer).
The last holiday I went on was in August. I did actually get to read 3 books (I only finished one of them whilst I was there though!). Prior to this I haven’t been on holiday since 2018 and I didn’t take any books. I think that the last holiday where I actually took books to read was back in 2013, which was a family holiday with my parents. I don’t remember what books I read on that holiday. Holidays with my partner consisted of being out and about and so I don’t get time to read.
Taking the above into account, I have decided to list the 3 books that I read on that holiday and then list some of the books that I read over the rest of the school summer holidays.
Books I read when I was on holiday (in Wales):
Books I read over the rest of the summer holidays:
As I am still two short I am going to go back to the May school holidays:
A bit of a struggle this week, but I managed to scrape this list together!
What books have you read on holiday?

A lot of people do like it. It wasn’t my favourite book. It sort of went on. If it was half the size I might have liked it more.

What a fun sounding list! I’ve got Norse Mythology on my TBR, and I always hear such great things about it.

It was good. It wasn’t the best thing that I have read. It was the best mythology retelling that I have read though – I have only read that one and Circe. I just don’t think that mythology retellings are for me which is a shame.

I’m a fan of mythology retellings when they’re done well, so I’d probably enjoy this one.

I know what you mean. I have several books over 500 pages waiting for me to read and review, that’s why they’re still sitting there.

500 pages is a lot. Anything over 350 and I start to question it 🤣

Lol, most of mine are in the 350 range or a little higher but those sitting there from Berkley are just a bit longer than that 🙂

I don’t get to read much on vacation either because, well, I’m mom! When do moms ever get to do what they want on vacation? Of course, I’m also the one who does all the driving, which doesn’t help either.

When I had young children I never was able to read much on a holiday. And I was usually visiting family or out and about. Nice list of books!

Thank you. Yeah I think reading on holiday is a thing of the past. When my partner and I started going on holiday together we packed it full of sightseeing so I didn’t read then. I think that the last holiday I went on where I read (apart from Wales this year) was in 2013 🤔
