Four Books that Will Inspire You to Travel the World

ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter

SEATTLE:Where'd You Go,Bernadette? by Maria Semple
Maria Semple's first novel is not exactly a love story in Seattle,but if you read it,you just might want to come here to see if people are really as selfinvolved as the characters in her book.What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laughs.Buy it on Amazon.Price: $26.60
ENGLAND:Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
You can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine,but reading Mantel's prizewinning novel is the next best thing.It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside,most of which are still there.Buy it on Amazon.Price: $25.10
NANTUCKET:Here's to Us by Elin Hilderbrand
