Trip Fiction: Adriatic and Med Getaways

If you’re anything like me, reading a book in a place you’re traveling to brings it to life in a whole new way. I made a reading list of 25 Novels Around the World to accompany my trip around the world onboard the Azamara Onward. The trip was broken up in to 10 segments. This is the final leg of our journey, and we travel from Venice through Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, around to Rome, Monte Carlo and finally Barcelona. If you like this kind of thing check out the posts with my book suggestions for the other legs.

Here’s what I read on this final leg, including a quick impression of each book and a link to download it if you’re planning to go to these places (on a plane or in an armchair, both are great ways to travel) and want to check them out.
