With the holiday season well underway we’ve been chatting in the shop about the books that we love to read when we’re away. Whether it’s relaxing by the pool, enjoying the sights on a city break, caravanning with the kids (wish me luck), or yomping across a mountain in the snow (I’m looking at you Dawn), we all have very different preferences when it comes to both holidays and books!

There’s so much to consider when choosing which books (yes, plural) to take on holiday. Do I want to risk getting sand in a gorgeous new hardback? Personally, no! Do I play it safe and go with an author I already know and love, or risk trying something completely new? Some people even pair their book to the destination for a full immersive reading experience!

If you’re in need of a bit of inspiration then check out our staff picks shelf, or ask one of our expert booksellers for a personal recommendation and let us find your perfect holiday read.
