Happy first Friday of the month! Now that Memorial Day is behind us, and we are in the month of June, it feels like summer is finally here! (yay, yay, yay!)

Do you have any summer travel plans? I don’t know about you, but whenever I travel, which is as often as I possibly can, I make sure to bring along a book that will not disappoint.

So I thought it would be fun to come up with a travel themed reading list! Here are some books that are set in the states, that take place both in the past and the future. Some I have read, some I had to look up. Hope you enjoy!

Road trip, anyone?
