Books

Our Vacation Reading List

See the books we packed for all our summer adventures.

By Emilie Dingfeld

What we like to read on vacation is as unique as our most-loved destinations. Whether dining solo in Paris or hanging out poolside at home, what’s better than a book you can’t wait to devour? Scroll to see the titles our team of booklovers brought along on their summer vacations and grab a little OOO inspo.

Amanda in pink doughnut floater reader
Long Point Provincial Park, Port Rowan, Ont.

Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger

“We all look forward to quiet moments outside, without a single appliance beeping to pull us out of our stories. We all pack our own book, and then tackle a book together in the evening. This year our together book was Keeper of the Lost Cities.”

—Amanda Gauthier, Manager, Customer Experience & Curation

Melissa reading in hammock
Costa Rica

The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer

“I’ve been deepening my own spiritual practice, and Costa Rica was a fantastic setting to explore the book’s teachings … I highly recommend reading in a hammock surrounded by palm trees.”

—Melissa Perri, Manager, Public Relations & Influencer Marketing

Chihoe reading at the beach
Cayo Coco, Cuba

Everything Here Is Beautiful by Mira T. Lee

“I chose this book simply because the cover grabbed me. I wept silently on a beach in Cuba reading it, and it made me think, ‘Everything here IS beautiful!’”

—Chihoe Ho, Category Manager, Cooking, Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Cynthia on lawn chair by water
Prince Edward County, Ont.

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

“People have been raving about this book, so I couldn’t wait to take it to the cottage, where I have time to read for hours on end. The mystery kept me hooked—I finished it in a day!”

—Cynthia Ho, Email Marketing Specialist

Mallorca Spain landscape by water
Mallorca, Spain

Atomic Habits by James Clear

“Not your typical vacation read. However, I use vacation as a time to reset and refresh my mindset. Atomic Habits’ framework on improving every day gave me practical advice for bettering myself.”

—Geoff Suares, Director, Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing

Caroline with hat reading Normal People
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont.

Normal People by Sally Rooney

“When Conversations With Friends hit the screen, I decided I needed to reread Sally Rooney’s backstock, starting with Normal People. There is no better way to go deep into a good book than poolside!”

—Caroline Shaheed, Editorial Manager, Social Media

Jessica and daughter reading by water
Victoria Harbour, Ont.

Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown

“I love that I can create special summer moments with my daughter reading before bed outside. We pick different books from the Baby’s First Library collection, but Goodnight Moon is the top choice!”

—Jessica Fallis, Marketing Manager, Indigobaby

Kristi reading JD Robb
RĂ­o San Juan, Dominican Republic

Echoes in Death by J.D. Robb

“On vacation I always bring an escapist novel, and there is nothing more enjoyable than a good murder mystery, especially with bits of romance sprinkled in!”

—Kristi Reilly, Category Manager, Fiction
