Travel Reading
I tend not to read much while travelling. I'm usually drafting blog posts and stories on my phone for one thing! But I like to take a good mix of good reads for when I get to my destination.
I prefer light reads when away. I am escaping from the usual routine so want to escape through books too. I'm currently enjoying Ben Macintyre's The Last Word on Kindle which takes a light look at the use of language and is good fun. Highly recommend.
I also loved his Operation Mincemeat. Not a light read so to speak but a cracking and true story told at a great pace.
What do you look for in a good read?
I like to be entertained, escape my cares for a bit, and ideally learn something too.
When reading fiction, I learn something from how the characters are portrayed, how the dialogue is put together etc. I get so much from books and hope you do too.
