I read most of it on the coach trip up to the Grand Canyon, and I managed to pass a lot of drive time getting through this awesome conclusion to a fantastic story. The follow up to the cool young adult science fiction novel, Jinxed, Unleashed made for an excellent and compelling read while we were busing it around Nevada in 2019. Slick, deeply amusing and well worth a listen, this was a hilarious series to enjoy on a fantastic trip. The Inspector Steine series is set in Brighton in the 1950s and follows an incompetent police station who fail to notice that their charlady is Brighton’s criminal mastermind.
In that same vein as Cabin Pressure, I also must recommend Lynne Truss’s outstanding Inspector Steine series, which we listened to while driving around Tasmania. Intensely funny and utterly brilliant, the road flew away as we listened to this and it comes very highly recommended.
Made up of 27 episodes and featuring an exceptional British cast (including Stephanie Cole, Roger Allam, Benedict Cumberbatch, and John Finnemore), Cabin Pressure follows the chaotic crew of the world’s smallest airline. One of my favourites is the outstanding Cabin Pressure series, which she owns on CD. My editor/wife got me into British radio dramas during several road trips we did, so I thought I would include a couple here, even if they technically aren’t books. The one I most distinctly associated with coast trips however is Asterix and the Banquet, as my parents got a rather good photo of me reading it, however all make pretty awesome and light reads while your away.Ĭabin Pressure – Road Trip – Canberra to Coffs Harbour and Back These proved to be very fun reads while away at the beach and I would have brought most of them with me at one point or another.
I absolutely loved the Asterix comic strips when I was younger (still do to be honest) and I always remember bringing them with me to our regular coast trips as a kid. Hopefully this following list will give you some reading ideas next time you are on vacation.
I might have stretched the definition of a book to include audiobooks and other productions, but I am overall pretty happy with how this turned out. I ended up coming up with a pretty good list in the end, including a few honourable mentions. As such, it was an interesting experience to dive back into my trips for the last few years and try to remember what I was reading. Like many fellow readers, I always enjoy a good book while on vacation, and I have managed to get into some cracking reads while away on holiday. This is a rather unique topic that I was quite intrigued to try and implement. For this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, participants are required to list their top ten favourite books that they read of vacation. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that currently resides at The Artsy Reader Girl and features bloggers sharing lists on various book topics.
