Armchair Vacations

Travel the world this summer from the comfort of your favorite chair! Set sail on the open sea, travel to the wild west, explore present day and first-century Jerusalem, enjoy a sunny visit to the Outer Banks, head to a state fair, brave a futuristic America and more! Start your journey today by checking out one of these fascinating books:

The Barbary Pirates by William Dietrich - travel from France to Greece to Italy on a non-stop adventure in search of the Mirror of Archimedes with early 19th century adventurer Ethan Gage.

Beautiful Maria of My Soul by Oscar Hijuelos - explore mid-20th century Cuba through Hijuelos' richly drawn and enthralling characters and story.

Blue-Eyed Devil by Robert B. Parker - head back to the wild west for a rowdy ride with fast-talking, gun-slinging lawmen Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch.

The Galilean Secret by Evan Drake Howard - if you enjoyed The DaVinci Code, you won't want to miss this tale of religious intrigue set in both present day and first-century Jerusalem.

The Outer Banks House by Diann Ducharme - spend some time in Reconstruction North Carolina with seventeen-year-old Abigail Sinclair as she learns about love and life.

The Passage by Justin Cronin - fans of vampire fiction should try this highly anticipated first in a planned trilogy, set in a futuristic America.

Pearl of China by Anchee Min - travel from China to America and back again through this fictionalized account of Pearl S. Buck's unique life.

State Fair by Earlene Fowler - enjoy a trip to California's San Celina Mid-State Fair, complete with quilt exhibits and a clever whodunit plot.
