Books for Armchair Travelers

I love to travel — tasting the local food, exploring the shops, and soaking up every new sight. There’s something magical about experiencing a place for the first time, seeing things you never could have imagined… until that very moment.

But I also know there are places I may never visit in my lifetime. And you know what? That’s okay. Because books let me travel there anyway. 🌍✨ I adore authors who have seen the world and bring those experiences to life, or who’ve done their homework to create rich, believable places for us to explore — all from the comfort of my couch, blanket, and maybe a cup of tea.

I love reading about places I’ve been, but I also love discovering places I haven’t. Maybe one day I’ll visit them for real… but for now, I’ll happily explore them in story form, page by page.

Glamourous Illusions, Grave Consequences, & Glittering Promises 

by Lisa T. Bergren

If you want to travel around Europe on a Grand tour during the early nineteen hundreds, this series will take you everywhere. The story is fantastic and the characters are good. I've enjoyed these series so much, I've reread it several times. 

A Cross Country Christmas & A Cross Country Wedding 

by Courtney Walsh

I've read A Cross Country Christmas and it is super cute. I know that the sequel is just as sweet as the first book and this series takes you on a road trip from California to the Midwest with a lot of stops along the way. It can make you laugh and touches the heart. 

Undeniably Yours, Meant to Be Mine, A Love Like Ours, & Her One and Only 

by Becky Wade

The stars at night, are big and bright :clap, clap, clap, clap: deep in the heart of Texas!

I had to share this one. Born and raised here and I absolutely loved this series. It was just a fantastically sweet, real, and emotional rollercoaster of a series that follows siblings in a family. This can be read all together or as a stand-a-lone book.

Shadowed (Novella), Submerged, Shattered, Stranded, Silenced, Sabotaged 

by Dani Pettrey

This series follows siblings who reside in the massive state of Alaska. If you've never been, this series is good on touching base on a lot of different locations and special features of the state. I enjoyed this series. Contemporary, mystery/suspense/ romance all rolled into one thrilling tale. They can be read together or by themselves. 

So, fellow armchair travelers — what destinations have your books taken you to lately? Share your picks, and let’s go exploring without even leaving the couch! 😉📖
