I hope you have a wonderful trip!
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Thank you!
Hawaii is such a cool place to read about.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I’m looking forward to it!
We did such similar topics for the same reason- upcoming trips. I hope you really enjoy your holiday.
I decided to go for books set in Rome for my freebie!
Thank you!
I’ll have to check out your picks for Rome. I hope to visit there someday too!
I loved the Islands at the End of the World duology, such a creative story.
Funnily enough, the last book I finished was also set in Hawaii! A YA novel — Summer of Sloane. It definitely brought the beauty of the place to life and made me want to alternately hang out on the beach and hike to a waterfall for a picnic lunch.
I need to check that one out!
Great topic! Hawaii is a great setting for books! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I feel like it is probably a great setting for anything HA!
I always enjoy books with Hawaiian settings, although I’ve only read one of these. I hope you enjoy your reading and your trip!
Happy TTT!

I loved #2. I also loved Kai Hemmings Hart’s books set in Hawaii.
Here’s my TTT post.
I need to check those out!
I love that you chose books set in Hawaii for your list this week! Hawaii (Maui specifically) is one of my most favorite places on earth. 😀
I’ve never been to Hawaii but I have a feeling it will be one of my favorites after I go!
I’ve only ever read the one book set in Hawaii: The Girl From Everywhere by Heidi Heilig, but I did enjoy it!

Have tons of fun in Hawaii! I’d love to visit there someday. Until then, I just have to read about it. 🙂
Hopefully you will! This will be my first time.
