Sure you’ve read those “what to take on your honeymoon” checklists in the bridal magazines, but what to take for your honeymoon beach/trip reads? With today’s burgeoning checked baggage fees, you really need to narrow down your reading materials. So what to bring?
Most importantly, bring the best travel book you read in your trip research.
Beach/relaxation reads?
- Real Simple magazine… in the hopes that you’ll keep things simple and relax even after the honeymoon.
- I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence by Amy Sedaris -> a total sassy girl pick; you’ll laugh outloud… repeatedly.
- Anything by Emily Griffin; some examples include Something Borrowed, and Baby Proof.
- Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner; the author is so down to earth and creates truly lovable, real characters.
- The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger; you really care about the characters.
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen because Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy are the smartest, sexiest, sassiest, and most romantic lovers of all time… next to you and your husband of course.
[By the way, I like Keira Knightley and all, but this English actress is much more how I pictured Elizabeth from the book. And Colin Firth? Enough said.]
Stay away from total page turners, e.g. anything from the Twilight series. You’ll be totally disinterested in doing anything besides finding out whether or not Edward turns Bella into a vampire!
