The Anne of Green Gables series is a nice choice for this theme.
💚💚💚The Thorn Birds💚💚💚
so happy to see The Thorn Birds listed.
I’ve read many of these! Great list! 🌻
Outlander is one of my favorite travel books! I also like the Scotland series by Alexander McCall Smith, though I haven’t read the one you about Italy. I’m curious about How the Penguins Saved Veronica.
A great list with some of my favourite books, Outlander, Anne of Green Gables, Persuasion and The Thorn Birds. Recently I armchair travelled to Hawaii by reading Moloka’i and Korea and Japan by reading Pachinko, both excellent reads.
I’d love to visit PEI to see Green Gables.
