For us bookworms, the only downside to traveling is facing a monumental decision — one that can either elevate our soul with joy or plunge us into the depths of boredom.



The dilemma?



Choosing the perfect books to accompany us on the journey.



If only we could carry our entire home library in a never-ending suitcase, but alas, life is not that fair.



So, we must choose.

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

Every travel list deserves a psycho-thriller, especially one you can devour in a single sitting. The Silent Patient follows a woman who witnessed her husband's murder and a determined psychotherapist unravelling the mystery, with a twist - she's chosen silence.



The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

Picture this: a failed bank robber turns an open house into a hostage situation, leaving a room full of strangers as diverse as chalk and cheese. Tensions rise, secrets spill, and Fredrik Backman's whimsical take on the human condition reminds us always to treat others with kindness.



Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter

Liz Buxbaum's world turns topsy-turvy as she tries to catch her crush's attention by making them jealous, leading to unexpected feelings for her once-annoying neighbour. Better Than The Movies is a delightful tale of unexpected connections.
