I will be heading to Ireland this summer and my iPad is ready to travel with me. As most readers know, I am a paper books gal. I love paper, the smell of a new book, and the feeling of holding a book in my hands. However, I am a fast reader. I can’t carry enough books to keep me happy when I fly, so my iPad is used as an e-reader whenever I travel. It’s perfect. I can log onto the wireless network anywhere I travel and play games on the iPad. But I can also carry lots of books with me!
Here are some of the books I will be “carrying” when I travel to Ireland:
Sisterhood Everlasting: A Novel (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) by Ann Brashares- I was a huge fan of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books and I just found out about this adult companion to the novels.
The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth: Popularity, Quirk Theory, and Why Outsiders Thrive After High School by Alexandra Robbins- I have read all of Robbins’ books and this topic is close to my heart.
What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen- I don’t miss a Dessen book. I’m shocked that it’s been out for almost two months and I haven’t read it yet!
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie: A Flavia de Luce Novel by Alan Bradley- Recommended by a friend, I am looking forward to trying this series.
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins- Yes, I am behind. Yes, every blogger has recommended this one to me!
Juliet: A Novel by Anne Fortier- This has been on my list for a while and I look forward to reading it.
What are your vacation reading plans this summer? Do you carry paper books with you or carry an e-reader?

The Reading Zone 
The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth was such an impressive read. Seriously loved that book.
And Dessen’s most recent book is my all time fave of hers. You’ve got a great list.
I’m really enjoying Libba Bray’s latest book, Beauty Queens. It would make a fun companion to Lord of the Flies.
I wish I had an e-reader…I’m also a poor grad student so I wish I got to travel, too! haha!
Happy trails!
I am currently reading Bill Bryson’s Home and have Anne Cherian’s A Good Indian Wife waiting in the wings. I am a paper girl myself – and yes, I carry a canvas bag with us in the car so I have plenty of reads for the entire family when traveling. It probably sounds crazy, but when I have the actual book in my hands, I feel like “they” are with me, but on e-reader it feels more like I am getting a message – how weird am l? I have grouped books together from the library and would love for you to come check it out on my blog – thank you! xoxo michele
I enjoyed the Dessen and I’m so excited you’re going to read Anna and the French Kiss, it was one of my favorites from last year. I hope you enjoy them all!
