Obviously, an important part of going on vacation is what you pack. It's usually the essentials, right? Clothes, PJs, toothbrush and toothpaste, face wash, whichever electronics you want and a book to read.... But wait. What if you're one of us? I mean if you're reading this blog, I'm sure you're part of the group of people that I'm talking about. Some people have a hard time cutting down on how many pairs of shoes they pack. Us? It's the books.
While I was packing, I had a pretty easy time with my clothes and shoes and hygienic products. That's simple. But then I started packing my iPod, my laptop, a magazine and then I got to the pile of books I had picked to bring...
Ooops...
Yes, I have an eReader, but it's not the best in the world, so I don't use it very often. I prefer physical books and that's hard when you're travelling. I figured I would bring three books plus my eReader. So I packed one that I've been meaning to read forever (The Book Thief), one that I need to read for review (All Our Yesterdays) and one MONSTER BOOK (Game of Thrones). I figure with those three plus the eReader, I should have plenty and if not, I saw a cute little book shop a few blocks away from where we're camping!
Happy reading!

I usually don't have these problems as I only get a selected choices to choose out of. I think you should think about like whether its a series or a standalone. I would prefer to take a standalone on a holiday.
ReplyDeleteI think it was more difficult before I had an ereader, because I read quite fast but only ever travel with hand luggage! So normally I would take two or three books - quite often I would Bookcross them when I was done, and buy more to bring home! Now I have my Kindle, I guess it will be easier, although I would probably still take at least one physical book too.
