I try to find time to read as much as I can. I haven't taken a trip without my DD for awhile but when we go to the cottage I usually have time to read 2-3. If I was on a trip with just DH I'd likely bring a couple more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2648373 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 01:02:10 +0000 808love 2648373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>kindle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2648343 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 21:35:17 +0000 youboots 2648343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last vacation with a kid I read girl on the train.

The Night Circus left me feeling unsatisfied with the ending, but it was still allllllright. I selfishly want you to take A Court of Thorns and Roses because it's on my to-be-read list and if we have the same taste in books, you can tell me how it is, hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2630199 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 17:44:45 +0000 Bao 2630199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: We must have the same taste, do any of this suck? lol then I'll know which ones NOT to bring and waste space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2630197 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 17:44:18 +0000 Bao 2630197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@codeitall: ok I'll pass on the Cursed Child, thanks for the tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2630193 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 17:21:15 +0000 MrsRcCar 2630193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I always bring at least half a dozen books. 🙈 I love having time to read. I am an avid bookworm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2630191 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 17:14:47 +0000 codeitall 2630191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to avoid taking any in a new series on a trip because I get a little obsessed trying to finish it :silly: But no kids? Go for it!</p> <p>I'd stock up your kindle with as many library books and free kindle reads as you can and bring 4-5 physical books.</p> <p>I actually wouldn't recommend taking the Cursed Child (it really is a script and thus a super fast read for the amount of space it will take).</p> <p>P.S. I love S.J. Maas, I've been a fan since her fictionpress days and she's really taken off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2630167 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 16:19:32 +0000 LuLu Mom 2630167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: hands down take The Nightingale, one of the best books I've read lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2630166 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 16:18:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 2630166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take 2-3 depending on length of trip. Usually I can finish one each way on a flight, and 1-2 while on vacation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2630164 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 16:15:18 +0000 raspberries 2630164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I think I've read 80% of your to-be-read pile, haha. Cinder is my favorite one out of these, but it does end a little cliffhanger-y. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2630147 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 15:45:48 +0000 Bao 2630147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are my to be read, any recommendations on what I should bring on my trip?

For vacation, I tend to like to bring paperbacks. I don't know why, but it's nostalgic somehow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2629959 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 11:20:14 +0000 PawPrints 2629959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just kindle books, I don't want to haul books around. How many depends on the trip. Pre-kids, I recall going through 4-5 books on a 3-week trip to Thailand, which is a lot for me - I could only do 2 every 3 days if we were doing literally nothing else but lie around and read. Nowadays, we have always traveled with DD so far, so I get through like half a book on a trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2629952 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 11:16:45 +0000 Anya 2629952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd bring 2 books for every 3 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2629946 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 11:05:05 +0000 Bao 2629946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I do have a kindle! But I also have a stack of 20 books to be read...lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2629906 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 09:56:43 +0000 Alivoo01 2629906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: I was going to suggest bring 2 physical books and maybe download books onto her phone or Kindle as a backup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2629893 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 09:37:39 +0000 Ree723 2629893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually bring two books and my Kindle. I prefer real books when reading by the pool or on the beach, but I also like to have my Kindle as back up in case I get through the books I brought. I also tend to bring long books on holiday (Gone with the Wind has always been a staple I bring on long holidays because I know I love it and it's about 1000 pages! That doesn't work if you don't like to reread books though) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2629891 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 09:35:56 +0000 MrsBrewer 2629891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: The Last Lecture is honestly one of my all time favorite books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2629890 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 09:34:39 +0000 Boogs 2629890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always take a book or two.

It wasn't a beach vacation, so we were doing things more during the day, otherwise I would have read more. So long story short, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2629857 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 08:55:31 +0000 lamariniere 2629857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take 1-2 and a few magazines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2629856 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 08:54:42 +0000 catlady 2629856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bring my kindle and fill it up with new books before we go. Since DD goes to sleep so early, we usually have tons of time in the evenings. Last trip, I think I read 4 books in 6 days or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-books-on-vacation#post-2629845 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 08:47:52 +0000 Bao 2629845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: thank you! Hmm see I was thinking 3 but maybe I need to pack more ;) I'm not used to so much time! </p>
