Eighty Days to Elsewhere
Eighty Days to Elsewhere | Kc Dyer
8 posts | 9 read | 7 to read
"The Amazing Race" meets Around the World in 80 Days as a woman desperate to save her family bookstore falls for her competition. Born and raised in New York City, Ramona Keene dreams of attending photography school and traveling to Paris, but her reality never quite catches up with her imagination. Instead, she works at her uncles' quaint bookstore, where the tea is plentiful and all the adventures are between the covers of secondhand books. But when the new landlord arrives with his Evil Nephew in tow, Romy's quiet life comes crashing down. He plans to triple the rent, something her uncles can't afford. In order to earn the money to help save the bookstore, Romy applies for a job at ExLibris Expeditions, a company that re-creates literary journeys. Romy snags the oddest internship ever: retrace Phileas Fogg's journey from Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days and plan a suitable, contemporary adventure for a client. The task is close to impossible; sticking to the original route means no commercial aircraft permitted, and she's got a lot less than eighty days to work with. Shaking off her fear of leaving home, Romy takes on the challenge, only to discover she's got competition. Worse, Dominic Madison turns out to be the - unfortunately hot - nephew of her family's worst enemy. Can Romy win the race and circle the globe in time to save the bookstore? And what happens when she starts to fall for the very person who may just be the death of her dreams?

I absolutely loved this book! I related to the MC, Romy so much, especially when it came to her love of books, Instagram and fear of travelling alone. I loved how she overcame all the obstacles in this book and came out more knowledgeable. The book was hilarious at times. I loved the plot, and the variety of places we go, plus the cultures we learn about. I liked the romance, it was very sweet. The book was informative too and I loved it!

Embarrassing public mispronunciation is the curse for us introverts, who learn more words from books than from other humans.

The shop is always warm. Every reader is welcome. It smells of old books and sweet tea and the heady scent of ten thousand stories, trapped between the covers.
And a little bit of cat. 📔🐈
