Friday Fives - Five Books I'm Taking On a Road Trip

 

I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists.  Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much.   We have a road trip coming up and this trip will have some down time so I am bringing a stack of books in addition to my Kindle.  Normally I mostly rely on my Kindle and have one print book just in case for space reasons but that isn't as much of an issue this time.  Here are 5 books I'm planning on bringing.

1. The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery - The first half of the trip will be medical appointments for Will - nothing bad but just yearly checkups since he is now coming up on 2 years post-treatment.  Even though I have no worries about the test results just being there brings up a lot of stress and this book sounds like the perfect antidote.  It's a reread and one of my favorites though I haven't read it in awhile.

2.  A Darkness Absolute by Kelley Armstrong - I really enjoyed the first book in this series and if this is half as fast paced and distracting as the first book it will be the perfect read for a trip.

3.  Shady Hollow by Juneau Black - This looks so lovely and cozy.  Plus I really enjoyed a later book in the series.

4.  Incident at Badamya by Dorothy Gilman - Gilman is one of my comfort read authors and I haven't read this standalone yet despite it being on my shelf for a bit thanks to the kind gift from my friend Tina.

5.  Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter - I picked this one up at a book fair for adults back a few years ago.  It looks interesting and a bit different with a multimedia setup.  I'm looking forward to reading it.

Have you read any of these?  Do you take a stack of books on a road trip or are you more of a Kindle reader?
