Some Reading Tips

Soon it's time for our summer holiday. Some of us are traveling, some are staying at home. Regardless, reading is a nice way to "travel" and gain new experiences.

It can also be a way to enhance your trip.  

By using the website http://www.tripfiction.com you can find novels that are set in a specific city. That can be a nice way to prepare yourself or a nice read on location. 

Have a wonderful summer everyone! To some of you, I'll see you in late August and to the rest of you - good luck with the next steps of your life. We'll probably see each other somewhere else.
