Today I have the opportunity of sharing something a little fun with Chick Lit Readers, a Top Ten list of places author Julie Halpern would like to travel to. You may be asking why exactly I’d be sharing this? Well, I’ve recently finished reading her book, Don’t Stop Now, and it centers around a couple of “friends” who take a road trip across the US. I absolutely loved the book and love road trips, so this is perfect! I hope you enjoy the places Julie’s picked and look for my review coming soon! Until then, take it away Julie!

These are places I’d like to go. So I assume I will someday. I do love to travel.

Texas – Strange that I’ve never been to Texas. I foresee a road trip around the entire state.

Hawaii – Everyone talks about it like it’s paradise, and it would help me complete my visit to all 50 states.

Australia – I actually lived in and traveled around Australia, but I think about it all the time. I would love to bring my family with me and live there again.

Norway – I took Norwegian in college, so I feel like I have to go there. Why else learn Norwegian?

Mexico – So close, yet I have never been. I took four years of Spanish and would love to use it more often than I do.

Spain – More call for my Spanish, but with a European flare.

Finland – Into the Wild Nerd Yonder was published in Finland, so they must get me. Also, they have the International Air Guitar Championship there. Who wouldn’t want to go to Finland?

Egypt – I wonder if the pyramids feel really old or like a movie set. I hope they haven’t fugged it up with advertisements everywhere.

Greece – Looks amazingly beautiful, as seen in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie.

The South Pole – Just to go.

Thank you so much Julie! Seeing as I’ve only been to a couple of places on your list I can definitely see some traveling in my future as well.

I can’t wait to share my review with Chick Lit Reviews readers, so look for it in the coming weeks, it’s definitely the perfect summer vacation read!

“I did it.”

On the first day of Lillian’s summer-before-college, she gets a message on her cell from her sort-of friend, Penny. Not only has Penny faked her own kidnapping, but Lil is the only one who Penny told. She knows that Penny’s home life has been rough, and that her boyfriend may be abusive. Soon, Penny’s family, the local police, and even the FBI are grilling Lil, and she decides to head out to Oregon, where Penny may be hiding. And who better to road-trip across the country with than Lil’s BFF, Josh. But here’s the thing: Lil loves Josh. And Josh doesn’t want to “ruin” their amazing friendship.

Josh has a car and his dad’s credit card. Lil has her last Summer of Nothing to fill. Together, they share a thirst for all things weird the United States has to offer. But there’s something else Lil needs to find: Are she and Josh meant to be together?
