Book Review – U Got to Have U Some Fun, by Andrew Harkless (1 Coffee Bean) This book is another “ocean voyage road trip.” Having taken a cruise, I can say that the experiences John has on his first cruise are very true-to-life. But the niceness of this book ends there. I can’t remember the last time…
DetailsBook Review – Ice on the Grapevine, by R.E. Donald (3 Coffee Beans) It’s kind of a stretch to review this as a road trip book, but the routes of the long-distance truckers was key to the plot, so we’ll “fudge factor” it in. It’s difficult to review this book. It has big positives and,…
DetailsRecalculating Route, by Beth Carpenter, is a well-written, nice story, harkening back to the days when “nice” was a positive adjective.

DetailsBook Review – Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, by Robert Pirsig (5 Coffee Beans). As many books as I’ve read over the course of a lifetime, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has had the strongest influence on me. I’ve read it several times and will probably read it again before…

DetailsBook Review – Tilly Lake’s Road Trip, by Francis Potts. Francis Potts is a man with a huge zest for life, and he is a man who appreciates a good road trip. But as an author, this book left me cold. The book begins the day after Tilly Lake’s husband was found in a hotel…
DetailsBook Review – Shereen Travels Cheap, Shereen Rayle. When Shereen says she travels cheap, she means it! Want to take the family on a trip as cheaply as possible? This is a great resource. The writing style is breezy and succinct, no attempts at great humor that might fall flat. I enjoyed it.…
DetailsBook Review – Three Moons over Sedona, by Sherry Hartzler. I love a good road trip and this one was terrific. The ultimate road trip fantasy is finding your happy place at the end of the road, and I loved that Georgia Mae Brown found just that. The female characters had the usual…
