When I was a little girl, we used to take road trips 2-3 times a year to see family and so my dad could play in golf tournaments around the state. Some of my favorite memories are of playing road trip games and reading in the backseat on the way there and back. What are your favorite road trip games?
Here’s the books I’m looking forward to discussing with you this week. Grab your copies of these books by clicking the images below:

The Road Trip

What better book to choose for this prompt, than one that has it in the name! This is a cute story about a group of friends traveling across Britan to a wedding. With a central story of a lovers-turned-enemies-turned-lovers trope and a bit of mystery thrown in, this is a perfect weekend read on a getaway.
Here’s some other great books that would work for this prompt in popular genres:
- Bestseller: The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise, Colleen Oakley (full review here)
- General Fiction: The Getaway Girls, Dee MacDonald
- Romance: American Road Trip, Patrick Flores-Scott

I discovered this author last year when I read Mad Honey and have been waiting to read another work by her. Picoult is not afraid to write about the difficult topics, and this is no different – this story revolves around a school shooting and the effect on the community.

- Bestseller: Mad Honey, Jodi Picoult & Jennifer Finney Boylan (full review here)
- General Fiction: Our Town, Thornton Wilder
- Romance: Peyton Place, Grace Metalious

- Nonfiction: Hidden History of New Hampshire, D. Quincy Whitney
- Kids: Old Home Day, Donald Hall
