Good morning! Today I’m linking up with Taylor & Christine for this months Literary Junkies linkup.
Here are this month’s questions:
1. If you could write a book, what would it be about?
It would probably be a guide for solo women travellers. So many women pass up on their travel dreams because they don’t have a travel companion when they can really do it on their own!
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
2. If you had to read one book or trilogy for the rest of your life, what would it be?
JUST ONE DO YOU HATE ME
3. Who is your current favorite book character and why?
Probably Mma Precious Ramotswe from The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency – she’s kind, quirky, and unapologetic about being traditionally built.
4. Is there a book your read every year during the holiday season? If so, what is it and why?
No, but that sounds like a nice tradition.
5. Do you have any books on your Christmas list? Name a few.
No books on my Christmas list, but I’ve got holds at the library for a few books by Jojo Moyes.
6. What is a book you read and loved that you didn’t expect to?
I just finished The Book Thief and the first chapter made me think it was going to be just awful, but I really liked it.
The first JoJo Moyes book I read was Me Before You, and I loved it. The Girl You Left Behind wasn’t quite as good, but still a great read. I’ll have to check out her other ones, too.
I want to read The Book Thief. And I hope you enjoy The Girl You Left Behind. I definitely did!! And I think you should totally write that solo travelers book for women! Thanks for linking up!
I love everything about this post. Great info and recomendations. I’ll have to check out JoJo Moyes.

Last day for my giveaway!
I highly recommend her books!
The first JoJo Moyes book I read was Me Before You, and I loved it. The Girl You Left Behind wasn’t quite as good, but still a great read. I’ll have to check out her other ones, too.
I’ve read Windfallen and Last Letter from Your Lover, too. They’re great.
Liked the Girl You Left Behind but you must move Me Before You to the top of your list- amazing!
It was the first of her books that I read! It was amazing.
I enjoyed The Book Thief as well and I am a also a solo female traveler! Maybe I’ll steal your book idea 😉

We can write a series 😉
Jojo Moyes sounds like someone I need to get to know.
YES.
I’d love to know more about solo female travel. i don’t know if I’d be brave enough to do that.
AS long as you start off somewhere that is touristy, you can totally do it. Then you’ll have confidence to try more places.
I’ve heard the book thief is a great book but haven’t read it yet. i’m in the middle of divergent right now.
