For me, reading and travelling go hand-in-hand. There's no better way to spend a day by the beach than immersed in a good book.
Before the arrival of the Kindle, my biggest packing headache was how to fit in all the books I planned to read on my vacay!
I'm happy to report that our TCs, with thousands of travel miles under their collective belts, are of the same mind; holiday time equals reading time.
The best part of the love for reading is sharing it; you can't keep a good book to yourself! In that spirit, our TCs have shared some of their favourite holiday reads.
