As you prepare your packing list for that long-awaited fall getaway, is there anything quite as exhilarating (or challenging) as selecting which new book to bring? Here at Women Who Travel, we look forward to the moment we can finally sit back, relax, and dive into a book in a new destination. Which is we’re continuing to share a quarterly list of the most exciting reads written by women authors that you might want to purchase before you hit the road. We asked our editors, contributors, and well-traveled bibliophiles in our network to share the books that are currently in their carry-ons.
Below, find 10 new books to read this fall, from a spooky thriller that inspired the latest season of American Horror Story to a manifesto on the importance of prioritizing rest. Plus, we’ve got recommendations celebrating Latinx authors in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month from the team at Bookshop.org. We’d love to hear which you’re reading—and which fantastic new books we missed—on Instagram or Facebook.
