1. Plane or train!
2. I don‘t think I have one! We always try to go somewhere and they were all fun! Every new place is my favorite until we go somewhere new. 😂
3. We already went on one to Traverse City. But we‘re going back to Iowa/Minnesota to visit family next month. Which should be a solidly ok time.

Back from our family road trip!! The first part was touring some colleges with youngest son, and we had our eyes open for anything bookish nearby. He‘s a bookworm too ?. Our fave was Book Culture in NYC. Second half, the entire family was together to sightsee Montréal; no bookstore visits there, but a very nice city! I‘ll show you all my very small haul soon. It‘s good to be back on Litsy!!

Leftcoastzen Love Book Culture! 7y
Pamwurtzler Where is BookCulture? Next time I‘m in NYC I‘d like to check it out. 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Leftcoastzen it was my first time there but really had to restrain myself— we still needed to eat for the rest of our vacation 😆 7y

ValerieAndBooks @Pamwurtzler the one we were at was on 112th St and Broadway. I believe there is at least one other in the city. 7y
Pamwurtzler @ValerieAndBooks thanks! I‘ll add that to the list I keep.🗽 7y

Caroline2 😂 YES!! 7y
Bloomingjen Skittles 7y
Zygomaticnerd Maybe some trail mix? 7y
Booksnchill @yossarian am in the path of the eclipse- am I inthe Heart of Darkness? That might explain some things... 7y
Louise Milky Way! 😂🌟 7y
Zygomaticnerd Or macaroons 7y
Zygomaticnerd Where are you going to see the eclipse? 7y
Yossarian @Zygomaticnerd In the very tiny piece of North Carolina where is will be visible. 7y
Wbabdullah Oreos! Or Newman O's (the healthier version)! Which can then be eaten to look like different stages of the eclipse! 7y
Yossarian @Wbabdullah I'll stick with the Oreos. I'm allergic to organic food. 7y
Wbabdullah 🤣 @Yossarian I hear ya! I've always had an addiction to Oreos but currently have to go dairy-free. Newman O's are almost indiscernible! Win-win! Have a wonderful road trip! 7y

Well this is fun! ?I'm used to getting the "you didn't win, here's a free printable poster" emails from Book Riot. ?I think that this is an assortment of audiobooks from Penguin Random House which should be fun as I love my audiobooks--although to have an 'audio family road trip' here I guess I'm going to have to dump Max ?in the car & drive around the island a few times! ????Thanks @bookriot and @penguinrandomhouse ?

#hour12 #hittheroad #24in48 I absolutely love audiobooks - especially now that I have the OverDrive app and they're so easy to get from the library. I spend my commute and most of my work days enjoying audios. Now, I'd 💜to use them on a road trip to some of my favorite fictional places: Hogwarts, Narnia, and Doon!

A beautiful hardcover filled with not only good travel (and life) advice, but lots and lots of watercolors like these. Total catnip for a nostalgic armchair traveler like myself! Highly recommend!
