Long train journey = uninterrupted guilt free reading time!

[LaceandChintz]

So excited! Got an almost 5 hour train journey on Saturday. What else is there to do on a train besides read?! You can't do laundry or vacuum, work is done for the summer, I've barely managed to read these past few weeks I've been so tired.
Today I am going to decide what to read.

I'm almost as excited about the journey as the weekend away 😁

How lovely - long train journeys with a good book are one of the best things.

Have you read:
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
This Thing of Darkness
Misery or The Green Mile

All would be perfect for a long journey - or the obvious 'Murder on the Orient Express' would be good too!

I’m very jealous. I love the time on trains to engross myself in a good book.

Remus haven't read any of those. Familiar with the Stephen Kings (dd a big fan) but will check out the others.
Been busy today but tomorrow is packing so will decide then. If I haven't got anything suitable () then we have a library and a bookshop within walking distance!

Let us know what you choose!

Little Fires Everywhere is an easy one sitting type of read.

Remus recommends This Thing of Darkness to everyone, and no one has yet been disappointed

I'm on a mission!

Also on a mission to make everybody read:
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
A Clockwork Orange
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
84 Charing Cross Road
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

All wonderful, but very different shades of wonderful!

This summer I've read these and ALL are fantastic:
Eleanor Ollifant is completely fine.
The Handmaid's Tale
How not to be a boy

wildbhoysmama agree! Read all those!
Remus only 2 on that list I haven't read, Miss Peticrew... is on the tbr pile and the other one you apparently keep recommending is now on the list

You will LOVE - everyone does!

Is it worth wandering around to the bookshop now?!

You have a bookshop within walking distance?! Of COURSE you should wander around there now. If it has a coffee shop attached too, I will be horribly jealous (well, even more horribly jealous than I already am).

Yes, a very nice and decent size bookshop about a 15 minute walk from here (no coffee shop but the town green is opposite and has a really nice coffee shack on it)
We also have the main library about a 3 minute walk away.
That said, I live with 3 other bookish people and between us we have A LOT of books. I've spent a lot of time today looking through the shelves picking out stuff to read this holiday.

Book wise, I am blessed
