WELOME TO WANDERLUST READS HOSTED BY ROAD AND TABLE TRAVEL
Wanderlust Reads Bookclub is for those who love to travel and love to read. Books will be picked based on their setting in different travel destinations around the world. Each month members will vote on selected books set in different travel destinations. Genres will vary. Just like travel often takes us out of our comfort zone, reading new genres can do the same. The book that receives the most votes will be read over the course of a month and you can join a zoom meet up on the 2nd Tuesday of every month. You can also find Wanderlust Reads on facebook and Goodreads.
In our facebook group I will share posts on the destination, the themes that are mentioned in the book and before our meeting I’ll share some tasty cocktails, mocktails, and food inspired by the book. You can through FACEBOOK or GOODREADS.
Meetings will be every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7pm. Voting for FEBRUARY’S book selection is OPEN NOW on FACEBOOK and GOODREADS! Voting Ends JANUARY 29th and the book selection will be announced on JANUARY 30TH.

The Tourist Attraction by Sarah Morgenthaler

When Graham Barnett named his diner The Tourist Trap, he meant it as a joke. Now he’s stuck slinging reindeer dogs to an endless string of resort visitors who couldn’t interest him less. Not even the sweet, enthusiastic tourist in the corner who blushes every time he looks her way…Two weeks in Alaska isn’t just the top item on Zoey Caldwell’s bucket list. It’s the whole bucket. One look at the mountain town of Moose Springs and she’s smitten. But when an act of kindness brings Zoey into Graham’s world, she may just find there’s more to the man than meets the eye…and more to love in Moose Springs than just the Alaskan wilderness.
Snow Blind by Ragnar Jonasson
Setting: Iceland
Crime,Mystery,Fiction
Siglufjörður: an idyllically quiet fishing village in Northern Iceland, where no one locks their doors – accessible only via a small mountain tunnel. Ari Thór Arason: a rookie policeman on his first posting, far from his girlfriend in Reykjavik – with a past that he’s unable to leave behind. When a young woman is found lying half-naked in the snow, bleeding and unconscious, and a highly esteemed, elderly writer falls to his death in the local theatre, Ari is dragged straight into the heart of a community where he can trust no one, and secrets and lies are a way of life. An avalanche and unremitting snowstorms close the mountain pass, and the 24-hour darkness threatens to push Ari over the edge, as curtains begin to twitch, and his investigation becomes increasingly complex, chilling and personal. Past plays tag with the present and the claustrophobic tension mounts, while Ari is thrust ever deeper into his own darkness – blinded by snow, and with a killer on the loose.
