Reading Retreat
Josh and I often go on reading retreats as described in this article. The whole point of the trip is to go somewhere other than our home and read. 95% of the time, we’re going to the beach (even in winter).
But I kind of love the idea of reconnecting with friends or family once a year on a reading retreat. My cousin — a voracious reader — would be the perfect person to plonk down in a cozy place with the sole goal of reading and snacking and napping and talking. Or my sister — we read so many of the same books. And most of my friends are readers. I kind of like the idea of going off-season somewhere so the whole place is quiet and then getting through two or three books.

I also read an article about this recently — and I am also here for it. 🙂
Idk – reading is something I do to wind down from or avoid other activities. I doubt I would enjoy that being the sole purpose of a trip. But maybe next year I’ll take one of those repositioning cruises, get a balcony, and read the whole time, while gazing at the sea between chapters.
(Note: Holland America had a far superior library to Royal Caribbean’s. Tons of new releases whereas RC just looked like books other passengers had abandoned.)
I recently read a cozy mystery series that took place entirely in a book hotel. The whole hotel existed to be about a reading vacation. And then all the shops in town were booked themed and all the restaurants and it was amazing.
