Reading as Trip Prep: Great Lakes

8 fantastic books set around(ish) the Great Lakes

Well hello there, happy Tuesday!

As I mentioned on Saturday, I am on a northerly adventure with my girls this week and per usual I read a TON over the past few weeks to get in the mood. You all know that when I have a special interest, I go ALL IN!

Now, I’m not going to tell you exactly where we are right now, but I promise that all of these books I have included somehow relate to the trip ~ some more directly than others! When I do the trip recap next Tuesday, the ties will make more sense, I promise.

I highly recommend ALL of these reads ~ they have made a big impact on me and my understanding of the Great Lakes region, both in the US and Canada.
