Wellman has been cast as a self-promoting egomaniac known mostly for his catastrophic failures. Instead he was a courageous innovator who pushed the boundaries of polar exploration and paved the way for the ultimate conquest of the North Pole—which would be achieved not by dogsled or airplane, but by airship.\n\nAmerican explorer Dr. Frederick Cook was the first to claim he made it to the North Pole in 1908. A year later, so did American Robert Peary, but both Cook’s and Peary’s claims had been seriously questioned. There was enough doubt that Norwegian explorer extraordinaire Roald Amundsen—who’d made history and a name for himself by being first to sail through the Northwest Passage and first man to the South Pole—picked up where Walter Wellman left off, attempting to fly to the North Pole by airship. He would go in the Norge, designed by Italian aeronautical engineer Umberto Nobile. The 350-foot Norge flew over the North Pole on May 12, 1926, and Amundsen was able to accurately record and verify their exact location. \n\nHowever, the engineer Nobile felt slighted by Amundsen. Two years later, Nobile returned, this time in the Italia, backed by Prime Minister Benito Mussolini. This was an Italian enterprise, and Nobile intended to win back the global accolades and reputation he believed Amundsen had stripped from him. The journey ended in disaster, death, and accusations of cannibalism, launching one of the great rescue operations the world had ever seen.\n\nRealm of Ice and Sky is the thrilling narrative of polar exploration via airship―and the men who sacrificed everything to make history.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"13538317032762690367\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover869385_211003941').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover869385_211003941').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover869385_211003941').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover869385_211003941').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover869385_213212691"> <a href="/book/show/213212691-work-in-progress"><img alt="Work in Progress" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1724337042l/213212691._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover869385_213212691'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/213212691-work-in-progress?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Work in Progress<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/1325511.Kat_Mackenzie\">Kat Mackenzie<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.86 avg rating — 986 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer15182196321098524962\">A warm, sexy, laugh-out-loud rom-com about a woman who, desperate for a fresh start, books a literary bus tour across the UK that consists of a lively group of elderly ladies plus one infuriatingly handsome Scottish driver.\n\nUK Bus Trip Goals:\n\n1.

With her dreaded 30th birthday looming on the horizon, Alice makes the first impulsive decision of her life - booking a flight to the UK for a three-week, all-female, literary bus tour. What could possibly go wrong?\n\nTurns out - everything.\n\nAlice arrives to discover that this tour isn’t what she expected. At all. Instead of cool, globe-trotting thirtysomethings with meaningful tattoos, she finds a rickety, antique bus full of fluffy-haired octogenarians. And to make matters infinitely worse, the tour guide makes her blood boil! And that devilish grin of his tells her he’s dead set on making her trip a misery. \n\nBut as they travel from castle ruins to cozy pubs, Alice may just find that she’s got it all wrong.

In Custodians of Wonder: Ancient Customs, Profound Traditions, and the Last People Keeping Them Alive, Stein introduces readers to a man saving the secret ingredient in Japan\'s 700-year-old original soy sauce recipe. In Italy, he learns how to make the world\'s rarest pasta from one of the only women alive who knows how to make it. And in India, he discovers a family rumored to make a mysterious metal mirror believed to reveal your truest self. From shadowing Scandinavia\'s last night watchman to meeting a 27th-generation West African griot to seeking out Cuba\'s last official cigar factory “readers” more than a century after they spearheaded the fight for Cuban independence, Stein uncovers an almost lost world.\n\nClimbing through Peru’s southern highlands, he encounters the last Inca bridge master who rebuilds a grass-woven bridge from the fabled Inca Road System. He befriends a British beekeeper who maintains a touching custom of "telling the bees" important news of the day and crunches through a German forest to find the official mailman of the only tree in the world with its own address – to which countless people all over the world have written in hopes of finding love. These are just some of the last people on Earth still in touch with quickly vanishing rites. Let Eliot Stein introduce you to all of them.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"13228154575586723134\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover869385_203579108').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover869385_203579108').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover869385_203579108').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover869385_203579108').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="moreLink"> </div> <div class="clear"></div></div></div><div class="bigBoxBottom"></div></div> <div class="coverBigBox clearFloats bigBox" show_header="true"><div class="h2Container gradientHeaderContainer"><h2 class="brownBackground"><a href="/genres/most_read/travel">Most Read This Week Tagged "Travel"</a></h2></div><div class="bigBoxBody"><div class="bigBoxContent containerWithHeaderContent"> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover741729_54985743"> <a href="/book/show/54985743-people-we-meet-on-vacation"><img alt="People We Meet on Vacation" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1618913179l/54985743.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover741729_54985743'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54985743-people-we-meet-on-vacation?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">People We Meet on Vacation<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/13905555.Emily_Henry\">Emily Henry<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.86 avg rating — 1,379,970 ratings<\/span> — published 2021\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer4397771715586068653\">Two best friends.

She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.\n \nUntil two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven’t spoken since.\n \nPoppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.\n \nNow she has a week to fix everything.

But in his will, Josh assigned her an impossible partner to help complete the mission—Dominic Perry. Seriously, if Maddie weren’t already at his funeral, she would have killed him for this.\n\nSure, Dom was Josh’s life-long best friend. He’s also the infuriating man who broke Maddie’s heart back when she was naïve enough to give it to him. But since Dom insists on following the rules and Josh didn’t leave much room for Maddie to argue the matter, they embark together on a farewell trip that spans thousands of miles, exploring new places and revisiting their complicated history along the way.\n\nAfter a snowstorm leads to a shared bed, Maddie starts to wonder if her brother might be matchmaking from the grave. But when grief also reopens old wounds between them, Maddie will need more than Josh’s ghostly guidance to trust Dom again.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"8831166422553116985\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover741729_209455843').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover741729_209455843').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover741729_209455843').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover741729_209455843').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover741729_211290229"> <a href="/book/show/211290229-there-s-something-about-mira"><img alt="There's Something About Mira" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1727978056l/211290229._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover741729_211290229'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/211290229-there-s-something-about-mira?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">There's Something About Mira<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/7025918.Sonali_Dev\">Sonali Dev<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.30 avg rating — 7,558 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer793177278271953125\">From USA Today bestselling author Sonali Dev comes the heartfelt story of a woman determined to reunite a lost ring with its owner, who ends up finding herself along the way.\n\nMira Salvi has the perfect life—a job she loves, a fiancé everyone adores, and the secure future she’s always imagined for h<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText793177278271953125\" style=\"display:none\">From USA Today bestselling author Sonali Dev comes the heartfelt story of a woman determined to reunite a lost ring with its owner, who ends up finding herself along the way.\n\nMira Salvi has the perfect life—a job she loves, a fiancé everyone adores, and the secure future she’s always imagined for herself. Really, she hasn’t a thing to complain about, not even when she has to go on her engagement trip to New York alone.\n\nWhile playing tourist in the city, Mira chances upon a lost ring, and her social media post to locate its owner goes viral. With everyone trying to claim the ring, only one person seems to want to find its owner as badly as Mira journalist Krish Hale. Brooding and arrogant, he will do anything to get to write this story.\n\nAs Krish and Mira reluctantly join forces and jump into the adventure of tracing the ring back to where it belongs, Mira begins to wonder if she is in the right place in her own life. She had to have found this ring for a reason…right? Maybe, like the owner of the lost ring, her happy ending hasn’t been written yet either.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"793177278271953125\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover741729_211290229').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover741729_211290229').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover741729_211290229').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover741729_211290229').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover741729_201465867"> <a href="/book/show/201465867-you-are-here"><img alt="You Are Here" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1722373526l/201465867._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover741729_201465867'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/201465867-you-are-here?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">You Are Here<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/46118.David_Nicholls\">David Nicholls<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.03 avg rating — 46,073 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer13111160456822846096\">Sometimes you need to get lost to find your way . . .\n\nMichael is coming undone.

But when he learns giraffes are going extinct, he finds himself recalling the unforgettable experience he cannot take to his grave.\n\nIt’s 1938. The Great Depression lingers. Hitler is threatening Europe, and world-weary Americans long for wonder. They find it in two giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic. What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a custom truck to deliver Southern California’s first giraffes to the San Diego Zoo. Behind the wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow. Inspired by true events, the tale weaves real-life figures with fictional ones, including the world’s first female zoo director, a crusty old man with a past, a young female photographer with a secret, and assorted reprobates as spotty as the giraffes.\n\nPart adventure, part historical saga, and part coming-of-age love story, West with Giraffes explores what it means to be changed by the grace of animals, the kindness of strangers, the passing of time, and a story told before it’s too late.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"9400118943449124343\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover741729_56449476').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover741729_56449476').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover741729_56449476').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover741729_56449476').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover741729_195888459"> <a href="/book/show/195888459-the-summer-pact"><img alt="The Summer Pact" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1701877185l/195888459.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover741729_195888459'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/195888459-the-summer-pact?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Summer Pact<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/13370.Emily_Giffin\">Emily Giffin<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.36 avg rating — 51,474 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer8271690011112698694\">In the wake of tragedy, a group of friends make a pact that will cause them to reunite a decade later and embark upon a life-changing adventure together—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Meant to Be.\n\nFour freshmen arrive at college from completely different worlds: Lainey, a Californ<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText8271690011112698694\" style=\"display:none\">In the wake of tragedy, a group of friends make a pact that will cause them to reunite a decade later and embark upon a life-changing adventure together—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Meant to Be.\n\nFour freshmen arrive at college from completely different worlds: Lainey, a California party girl with a flair for drama; Tyson, a brilliant scholar and law school hopeful from D.C.; Summer, a recruited athlete and perfectionist from the Midwest; and Hannah, a mild-mannered southerner who is content to quietly round out the circle of big personalities. Soon after moving into their shared dorm, they strike up a conversation in a study lounge, and the seeds of friendship are planted.\n\nAs their college years fly by, their bond intensifies and the four become inseparable. But as graduation nears, their lives are forever changed after a desperate act leads to tragic consequences. Stunned and heartbroken, a pact is made to be there for each other in their time of need, no matter how separated they are by circumstances or distance.\n\nTen years later, Hannah is anticipating what should be one of the happiest moments of her life when everything is suddenly turned upside down. Calling on her closest friends, it soon becomes clear that they are facing their own crossroads. True to their promise, they agree to take a time out from lives headed in wrong directions and embark on a journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and acceptance.\n\nIn this tender portrayal of grief, love, and hope, Emily Giffin asks: When things fall apart, who will be at our sides to help pick up the pieces?<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"8271690011112698694\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover741729_195888459').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover741729_195888459').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover741729_195888459').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover741729_195888459').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover741729_215950185"> <a href="/book/show/215950185-natural-selection"><img alt="Natural Selection" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1719938676l/215950185._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover741729_215950185'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/215950185-natural-selection?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Natural Selection<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/88301.Elin_Hilderbrand\">Elin Hilderbrand<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.63 avg rating — 51,753 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer4326802712799996767\">When her boyfriend bails at the last minute, a New York woman embarks on their couples’ cruise alone to find that maybe the person she was supposed to fall in love with was herself.\n\nAfter a string of bad dates and no prospects, Sophia Othonos has finally hit the jackpot: an actual nice guy.

Sophia finds herself at a crossroads about who she is, what she wants, and whether her relationship is really everything she thought. But if she’s going to suffer an identity crisis, at least she gets to do it amid the unexpected majesty of nature.\n\nEight days of wild, unobstructed beauty are enough to make anyone reevaluate their life.

Wish You Were Here is a powerfully evocative story of resilience and the triumph of the human spirit.\n--Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Malibu Rising\nSynopsis\nDiana O’Toole is perfectly on track. She will be married by thirty, done having kids by thirty-five, and move out to the New York City suburbs, all while climbing the professional ladder in the cutthroat art auction world. She’s an associate specialist at Sotheby’s now, but her boss has hinted at a promotion if she can close a deal with a high-profile client. She’s not engaged just yet, but she knows her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident, is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the Galapagos—days before her thirtieth birthday. Right on time.\n\nBut then a virus that felt worlds away has appeared in the city, and on the eve of their departure, Finn breaks the news: It’s all hands on deck at the hospital. He has to stay behind. You should still go, he assures her, since it would be a shame for all of their nonrefundable trip to go to waste. And so, reluctantly, she goes.\n\nAlmost immediately, Diana’s dream vacation goes awry. Her luggage is lost, the Wi-Fi is nearly nonexistent, and the hotel they’d booked is shut down due to the pandemic. In fact, the whole island is now under quarantine, and she is stranded until the borders reopen. Completely isolated, she must venture beyond her comfort zone. Slowly, she carves out a connection with a local family when a teenager with a secret opens up to Diana, despite her father’s suspicion of outsiders.\n\nIn the Galapagos Islands, where Darwin’s theory of natural selection was formed, Diana finds herself examining her relationships, her choices, and herself—and wondering if when she goes home, she too will have evolved into someone completely different.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"6656435751069966332\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover741729_57701764').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover741729_57701764').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover741729_57701764').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover741729_57701764').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover741729_57109107"> <a href="/book/show/57109107-the-lincoln-highway"><img alt="The Lincoln Highway" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1633443634l/57109107._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover741729_57109107'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57109107-the-lincoln-highway?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Lincoln Highway<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/4536964.Amor_Towles\">Amor Towles<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.22 avg rating — 288,094 ratings<\/span> — published 2021\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer1015908745073709135\">The bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility and master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction returns with a stylish and propulsive novel set in 1950s America\n\nIn June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the work farm where he has<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText1015908745073709135\" style=\"display:none\">The bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility and master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction returns with a stylish and propulsive novel set in 1950s America\n\nIn June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the work farm where he has just served a year for involuntary manslaughter.

Carol wasn’t just Katy’s mom, but her best friend and first phone call. She had all the answers and now, when Katy needs her the most, she is gone. To make matters worse, their planned mother-daughter trip of a lifetime looms: two weeks in Positano, the magical town Carol spent the summer right before she met Katy’s father. Katy has been waiting years for Carol to take her, and now she is faced with embarking on the adventure alone.\n\nBut as soon as she steps foot on the Amalfi Coast, Katy begins to feel her mother’s spirit. Buoyed by the stunning waters, beautiful cliffsides, delightful residents, and, of course, delectable food, Katy feels herself coming back to life.\n\nAnd then Carol appears—in the flesh, healthy, sun-tanned, and thirty years old. Katy doesn’t understand what is happening, or how—all she can focus on is that she has somehow, impossibly, gotten her mother back. Over the course of one Italian summer, Katy gets to know Carol, not as her mother, but as the young woman before her. She is not exactly who Katy imagined she might be, however, and soon Katy must reconcile the mother who knew everything with the young woman who does not yet have a clue.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"3770890674974453470\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover741729_58438583').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover741729_58438583').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover741729_58438583').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover741729_58438583').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover741729_195430688"> <a href="/book/show/195430688-the-paris-novel"><img alt="The Paris Novel" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1693835272l/195430688._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover741729_195430688'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/195430688-the-paris-novel?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Paris Novel<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/5662.Ruth_Reichl\">Ruth Reichl<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.83 avg rating — 34,484 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer16724055699634126650\">Bestselling author Ruth Reichl takes readers on an adventure of food, art, and fashion in 1980s Paris in this dazzling, heartfelt novelStella reached for an oyster, tipped her head and tossed it back.

Instead, she works in a corset factory, striving to earn enough to support her disabled son. When even that livelihood is threatened, Tucia is left with one option—to join a wily, charismatic showman named Huey and become part of his traveling medicine show.\n\nHer medical license lends the show a pretense of credibility, but the cures and tonics Tucia is forced to peddle are little more than purgatives and bathwater. Loathing the duplicity, even as she finds uneasy kinship with the other misfit performers, Tucia vows to leave as soon as her debts are paid and start a new life with her son—if Huey will ever let her go.\n\nWhen the show reaches Galveston, Texas, Tucia tries to break free from Huey, only to be pulled even deeper into his schemes. But there is a far greater reckoning ahead, as a September storm becomes a devastating hurricane that will decimate the Gulf Coast—and challenge Tucia to recover her belief in medicine, in the goodness of others—and in herself.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"16563411151345876480\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover741729_197522445').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover741729_197522445').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover741729_197522445').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover741729_197522445').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover741729_61407616"> <a href="/book/show/61407616-before-we-were-innocent"><img alt="Before We Were Innocent" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1671117497l/61407616.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover741729_61407616'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61407616-before-we-were-innocent?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Before We Were Innocent<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/19475743.Ella_Berman\">Ella Berman<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.41 avg rating — 69,948 ratings<\/span> — published 2023\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer11936071557468915279\">A summer in Greece for three best friends ends in the unthinkable when only two return home in this new novel from Ella Berman. . . .\n\nTen years ago, after a sun-soaked summer spent in Greece, best friends Bess and Joni were cleared of having any involvement in their friend Evangeline’s death.

Through food he marks—and mourns—the passing of time, the loss of loved ones, and steels himself for what is to come.\n\nWhether it’s duck a l’orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbequed at a gathering with friends, or meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with three generations of his family, these meals give shape and add emotional richness to his days.\n\nWhat I Ate in One Year is a funny, poignant, heartfelt, and deeply satisfying serving of memories and meals and an irresistible celebration of the profound role that food plays in all our lives.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"332441384473092649\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover741729_207298822').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover741729_207298822').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover741729_207298822').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover741729_207298822').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover741729_212294464"> <a href="/book/show/212294464-wedding-dashers"><img alt="Wedding Dashers" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1714804050l/212294464._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover741729_212294464'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/212294464-wedding-dashers?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Wedding Dashers<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/49549666.Heather_McBreen\">Heather McBreen<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.09 avg rating — 1,557 ratings<\/span> — published 2025\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer16765776034310171438\">After a case of mistaken identity and an almost one-night stand, two stranded wedding guests have to find their way to their final destination together, in this riotously fun debut romance.\n\nAda’s little sister is getting married.

Which should be a happy thought, right? But the once close sisters have been in a year long fight, the wedding is all the way in Ireland, and Ada is so broke that she just barely managed to get a ticket on a budget airline. And as if things couldn’t get worse, said airline just cancelled her connection. Which means Ada is stuck in London with no way to make it to the wedding.\n\nSurely she’s hit rock bottom?\n\nSo, there’s no reason for her not to spill her heart out about the over-the-top wedding, her sister’s worryingly quick engagement, and the womanizing best man she’s dreading meeting to a handsome also-stranded stranger at the bar. Until she realizes the stranger is headed to the same wedding. Oh, and he’s the infamous best man.\n\nNow, Jack and Ada must put their simmering attraction behind them to make it to Belfast before they miss the nuptials. But between flat tires, missed trains, and suspect hostels, Jack and Ada start to question whether their feelings are worth going the distance, or just a distracting detour along the way.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"16765776034310171438\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));;

If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way—and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"14706361114530519680\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover909038_9791').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover909038_9791').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover909038_9791').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover909038_9791').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover909038_24"> <a href="/book/show/24.In_a_Sunburned_Country"><img alt="In a Sunburned Country" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388176242l/24.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover909038_24'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24.In_a_Sunburned_Country?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">In a Sunburned Country<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/7.Bill_Bryson\">Bill Bryson<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.08 avg rating — 116,914 ratings<\/span> — published 2000\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer16024124308318436357\">It is the driest, flattest, hottest, most infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents, and still Australia teems with life - a large portion of it quite deadly.

In fact, Australia has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way than anywhere else.\n\nIgnoring such dangers - and yet curiously obsessed by them - Bill Bryson journeyed to Australia and promptly fell in love with the country. And who can blame him? The people are cheerful, extroverted, quick-witted and unfailingly obliging: their cities are safe and clean and nearly always built on water; the food is excellent; the beer is cold and the sun nearly always shines.

("I had recently read," Bryson writes, "that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another, so it was clear that my people needed me.") But before departing, he set out on a grand farewell tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home.\n\nVeering from the ludicrous to the endearing and back again, Notes from a Small Island is a delightfully irreverent jaunt around the unparalleled floating nation that has produced zebra crossings, Shakespeare, Twiggie Winkie\'s Farm, and places with names like Farleigh Wallop and Titsey. The result is an uproarious social commentary that conveys the true glory of Britain, from the satiric pen of an unapologetic Anglophile.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"4148412784277060101\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover909038_28').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover909038_28').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover909038_28').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover909038_28').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover909038_19501"> <a href="/book/show/19501.Eat_Pray_Love"><img alt="Eat, Pray, Love" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1503066414l/19501.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover909038_19501'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19501.Eat_Pray_Love?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Eat, Pray, Love<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/11679.Elizabeth_Gilbert\">Elizabeth Gilbert<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.64 avg rating — 1,799,599 ratings<\/span> — published 2006\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer11744671092570718431\">A celebrated writer's irresistible, candid, and eloquent account of her pursuit of worldly pleasure, spiritual devotion, and what she really wanted out of life. \n\nAround the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned thirty, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis.

She had everything an educated, ambitious American woman was supposed to want—a husband, a house, a successful career. But instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. She went through a divorce, a crushing depression, another failed love, and the eradication of everything she ever thought she was supposed to be. \n\nTo recover from all this, Gilbert took a radical step. In order to give herself the time and space to find out who she really was and what she really wanted, she got rid of her belongings, quit her job, and undertook a yearlong journey around the world—all alone. Eat, Pray, Love is the absorbing chronicle of that year. Her aim was to visit three places where she could examine one aspect of her own nature set against the backdrop of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. In Rome, she studied the art of pleasure, learning to speak Italian and gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. India was for the art of devotion, and with the help of a native guru and a surprisingly wise cowboy from Texas, she embarked on four uninterrupted months of spiritual exploration. In Bali, she studied the art of balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. She became the pupil of an elderly medicine man and also fell in love the best way—unexpectedly. \n\nAn intensely articulate and moving memoir of self-discovery, Eat, Pray, Love is about what can happen when you claim responsibility for your own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation of society’s ideals. It is certain to touch anyone who has ever woken up to the unrelenting need for change.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"11744671092570718431\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover909038_19501').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover909038_19501').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover909038_19501').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover909038_19501').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover909038_27"> <a href="/book/show/27.Neither_Here_nor_There"><img alt="Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388187396l/27.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover909038_27'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27.Neither_Here_nor_There?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/7.Bill_Bryson\">Bill Bryson<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.86 avg rating — 76,987 ratings<\/span> — published 1991\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer3235265095347684423\">Bill Bryson's first travel book, The Lost Continent, was unanimously acclaimed as one of the funniest books in years.

In Neither Here nor There he brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before.\n\nWhether braving the homicidal motorist of Paris, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant, window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn or disputing his hotel bill in Copenhagen, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations.

With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State — and she would do it alone.\n\nTold with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"17581261150998431289\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover909038_12262741').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover909038_12262741').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover909038_12262741').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover909038_12262741').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover909038_26"> <a href="/book/show/26.The_Lost_Continent"><img alt="The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1404042682l/26.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover909038_26'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26.The_Lost_Continent?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/7.Bill_Bryson\">Bill Bryson<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.81 avg rating — 62,968 ratings<\/span> — published 1989\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer7470232383887124587\">'I come from Des Moines.

After ten years in England, he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of trim and sunny place where the films of his youth were set. \n\nInstead, his search led him to Anywhere, USA; a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by lookalike people with a penchant for synthetic fibres. Travelling around thirty-eight of the lower states - united only in their mind-numbingly dreary uniformity - he discovered a continent that was doubly lost; lost to itself because blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a stranger in his own land.\n\nThe Lost Continent is a classic of travel literature - hilariously, stomach-achingly funny, yet tinged with heartache - and the book that first staked Bill Bryson\'s claim as the most beloved writer of his generation.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"7470232383887124587\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover909038_26').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover909038_26').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover909038_26').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover909038_26').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover909038_5306"> <a href="/book/show/5306.Travels_with_Charley"><img alt="Travels with Charley: In Search of America" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1386924381l/5306.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover909038_5306'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5306.Travels_with_Charley?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Travels with Charley: In Search of America<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/585.John_Steinbeck\">John Steinbeck<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.08 avg rating — 100,790 ratings<\/span> — published 1961\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer14385371739372047350\">A quest across America, from the northernmost tip of Maine to California’s Monterey Peninsula\n\nTo hear the speech of the real America, to smell the grass and the trees, to see the colors and the light—these were John Steinbeck's goals as he set out, at the age of fifty-eight, to rediscover the count<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText14385371739372047350\" style=\"display:none\">A quest across America, from the northernmost tip of Maine to California’s Monterey Peninsula\n\nTo hear the speech of the real America, to smell the grass and the trees, to see the colors and the light—these were John Steinbeck\'s goals as he set out, at the age of fifty-eight, to rediscover the country he had been writing about for so many years.\n\nWith Charley, his French poodle, Steinbeck drives the interstates and the country roads, dines with truckers, encounters bears at Yellowstone and old friends in San Francisco.

Here Theroux recounts his early adventures on an unusual grand continental tour. Asia\'s fabled trains -- the Orient Express, the Khyber Pass Local, the Frontier Mail, the Golden Arrow to Kuala Lumpur, the Mandalay Express, the Trans-Siberian Express -- are the stars of a journey that takes him on a loop eastbound from London\'s Victoria Station to Tokyo Central, then back from Japan on the Trans-Siberian.

Kerouac\'s love of America, compassion for humanity & sense of language as jazz combine to make On the Road an inspirational work of lasting importance.

The book about that trip, Notes from a Small Island, is uproarious and endlessly endearing, one of the most acute and affectionate portrayals of England in all its glorious eccentricity ever written. Two decades later, he set out again to rediscover that country, and the result is The Road to Little Dribbling. Nothing is funnier than Bill Bryson on the road—prepare for the total joy and multiple episodes of unseemly laughter.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"14632168364383960163\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover909038_25489012').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover909038_25489012').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover909038_25489012').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover909038_25489012').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover909038_480479"> <a href="/book/show/480479.Under_the_Tuscan_Sun"><img alt="Under the Tuscan Sun: At Home in Italy" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320524083l/480479.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover909038_480479'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/480479.Under_the_Tuscan_Sun?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Under the Tuscan Sun: At Home in Italy<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/4826.Frances_Mayes\">Frances Mayes<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.77 avg rating — 328,344 ratings<\/span> — published 1996\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer15650139704077412652\">An enchanting and lyrical look at the life, the traditions, and the cuisine of Tuscany, in the spirit of Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence. \n\nFrances Mayes entered a wondrous new world when she began restoring an abandoned villa in the spectacular Tuscan countryside.

There were unexpected treasures at every turn: faded frescos beneath the whitewash in her dining room, a vineyard under wildly overgrown brambles in the garden, and, in the nearby hill towns, vibrant markets and delightful people. In Under the Tuscan Sun, she brings the lyrical voice of a poet, the eye of a seasoned traveler, and the discerning palate of a cook and food writer to invite readers to explore the pleasures of Italian life and to feast at her table.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"15650139704077412652\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover909038_480479').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover909038_480479').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover909038_480479').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover909038_480479').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="moreLink"> <a class="actionLink" href="/shelf/show/travel">More travel books...</a> </div> <div class="clear"></div></div></div><div class="bigBoxBottom"></div></div> <div class=" clearFloats bigBox"><div class="h2Container gradientHeaderContainer"><h2 class="brownBackground"><a href="/list/show_tag/travel">Lists</a></h2></div><div class="bigBoxBody"><div class="bigBoxContent containerWithHeaderContent"> <div class="listRowsFull"> <div class="row" id="topRow"> <div class="cell"> <div class="listImgs"> <a href="/list/show/15243.Best_Adventure_Travel_Memoir"><img alt="Illegal by John Dennehy" title="Illegal by John Dennehy" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1501691079l/35894887._SX98_.jpg" /></a><a href="/list/show/15243.Best_Adventure_Travel_Memoir"><img alt="A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson" title="A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388189974l/9791._SY160_.jpg" /></a><a href="/list/show/15243.Best_Adventure_Travel_Memoir"><img alt="One Day at a Time 2017 by Hollie Bell-Schinzing" title="One Day at a Time 2017 by Hollie Bell-Schinzing" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1511882716l/36678788._SX98_.jpg" /></a><a href="/list/show/15243.Best_Adventure_Travel_Memoir"><img alt="Promise of Departure by L.W.
