Vacation Reads

 

Summer can be the perfect opportunity to stay up late reading or get lost in a great book. How do you decide which books to pack on your vacation? Do you travel light and rely on ebooks? Personally, I have a strong preference for hardback novels which is why my bags are always so heavy. On road trips, I enjoy listening to books on CD, especially anything by humorist David Sedaris.

Staff Picks: The Hike by Lucy Clarke

 

The Hike by Lucy Clarke

Burned-out by both her marriage and work, Liz is desperate for an escape. More than that, she craves an adventure, a total reset. So when she plans a vacation with her three best friends, she persuades them to spend four nights camping in the stunning mountains of Norway. Following a trail that climbs through lush valleys, towering peaks, and past jewel-blue lakes, Liz is sure that the hike is just what they need. 

But as they stride farther from civilization, it becomes clear that the women are not the only ones looking to lose themselves in the mountains. The wilderness hides secrets darker than they could ever have imagined, and if they’re not careful, not all of them will return.
