Filled with adventure, romance and delicious food, these road-tripping reads let you experience the best of our 50 states!

✤ Read a delicious memoir! Sweet Spot: An Ice Cream Binge Across America by Amy Ettinger. If there’s one treat Americans can’t get enough of, it’s ice cream—and journalist Ettinger is more obsessed than most! Follow her across the country as she meets ice- cream truck entrepreneurs, learns about the frosty treat’s dramatic history and gets the scoop on today’s craziest new flavors. ✤ Enjoy inspiration on every page! Driving Miss Norma by Tim Bauerschmidt and Ramie Liddle. When Norma was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 90, she made a surprising decision: Instead of undergoing surgery and radiation, she would hit the road in a 36-foot motor home with her retired son, Tim, and his wife and dog. Smile as the once timid Norma finds herself soaring in a hot air balloon, mounting a horse and trying exotic regional foods for the first time.

✤ Hitch a ride with Debbie Macomber! A Turn in the Road by Debbie Macomber. Hit the road with the characters of Blossom Street! After remaking herself as a successful businesswoman, Bethanne is facing the decision of her life. Should she take back the husband who left her so callously six years ago? Her daughter votes yes, her son isn’t so sure. Maybe a road trip from Seattle to Florida with her ex-mother-in-law will offer answers . . .

✤ Root for young love! Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour by Morgan Matson. After California girl Amy Curry loses her dad in a car accident, her mom decides to move to Connecticut just in time for senior year. To add insult to injury, Amy must drive cross- country with someone she barely remembers. Roger, the son of a family friend, encourages Amy to ditch their preplanned route in favor of seeing sites like Graceland and Yosemite, helping her heal along the way. Fun: Parts of the story are told through postcards, diner napkins and motel receipts!
