As we're all stuck indoors for the foreseeable future, with holidays cancelled, I thought I'd recommend some of my favourite books and authors so that you could travel without leaving home.
We've been incredibly lucky for this lockdown so far, with the weather being very fair to us. It's almost as if Mother Nature knew, chucked as much rain at us as possible, and now is giving us a breather because she knows how much we need our gardens (if we're lucky enough to have one).
So grab your kindle or ereader, because downloading ebooks currently is the quickest way to get a book delivered, and there's no fear of any contamination and catching the virus.
Firstly, you could escape to Italy with Sue Moorcroft's One Summer In Italy. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It made me want to drink cold, crisp glasses of white wine while I read it too.
Or you could travel to Greece with Mandy Baggot's My Greek Island Summer. This is Mandy's latest novel, so I haven't read it yet, but I'm sure it will be just as wonderful as her other books. And I just know Greece is her favourite place to be!
If you don't fancy going so far afield, and Cornwall is your thing, Meet Me At Wisteria Cottage turned three recently! It'll give you sun, sea and surf, and a dashing hero in the name of Harry Tudor.
Then, there's Fay Keenan's latest novel, The Weekender, which is set in rural Somerset. This book will allow you soak up the Mendips whilst sipping your favourite cider!
These should do you for now. And the best thing about all of these books - they are ALL are available in Kindle Unlimited!
I'll think of some more favourites and will post them in another blog post.
Romance offers great, uplifting escapism, which we all need right now on our need to social distance.
Stay home, stay safe, everyone. And keep reading!

Thanks so much for mentioning One Summer in Italy, Teresa! :-) Italy's such a wonderful country that my heart breaks for the level of suffering there. x
ReplyDeleteI know. It's all just awful really.
DeleteOn a positive note, Italy is definitely on my places to visit. One day... one day...
