Kick Your Vacation Reading Up a Notch
Shake up your vacation reading! Read books that let you escape wherever you are...and get you to where you want to be.
As any Literary Cat can tell you...
Once you open a book's cover, the story inside whisks you away quicker than an airplane takes flight.
Beyond Beaches, where curious readers roam through plot twists and novel settings, never running low on books to read or places to go.
Knock the Socks Off Ordinary Vacations
What knocks the socks off your vacation won’t be how far you physically travel…but how deeply you feel the experience.
Reading books on vacation pops the top off your box, exposing possibilities for connecting you, intellectually and emotionally, to the stories you read.
Whatever your vacation goal--relaxation, escape, adventure. Whatever genre you prefer to read--history, mystery, romance, fantasy, or thriller.
Reading stories that connect you to the places you visit will banish ordinary from any vacation, whether you're taking the trip or you're reading the story.
Plan a vacation with reading in mind.
Discover how reading helps you turn your vacation into a most enjoyable experience…even when you vacation on a perfectly wonderful, warm sandy beach.
Spill the Beach Vacation Beans
Fortune places Literary Cats on crystal-white beaches, smack dab in the middle of a Gulf Coast beach vacation paradise.
Gulf Shores Alabama Beach - Small Town, Big BeachGosh! With beaches this beautiful, where else would a Literary Cat read?
It’s no secret, halfway between Hemingway's Key West and Harry's South Padre mysteries, Alabama beaches are perfectly set for reading vacation books.
There is no limit to how far you can travel reading on a beach vacation, with curiosity, imagination, and a good book to read.
No limit to what you can read on a beach!
Our obvious Alabama big beach secret is…
Neither you nor your vacation (or book) needs to stay only on the beach.
Because, as any local person (or Literary Cat) will tell you, beaches (and beach books) are not the only attractions around this Gulf Coast paradise.
Step beyond any Alabama beach, and you’ll find yourself in the Heart of Dixie–where nearly every story told about the South is only a short trip away.
For readers as curious as Literary Cats...well, it is a bit like being set free to play in Alice’s Wonderland.
Poke Your Nose into Southern Settings
You might be surprised how much Southern literature happens in places only a day trip away from our white sandy beaches.
Court House from To Kill a Mockingbird, now a museum in Monroeville, AlabamaFor readers as curious as Literary Cats, landing in the midst of so many stories telling all about Southern history, hospitality, and heritage...well, it is a bit like being set free to play in Alice’s Wonderland.
Quite near your vacation beach, you may recognize places from stories of well-known authors Harper Lee, Rick Bragg, Fannie Flagg, and Winston Groom.
Or from books written by lesser-known authors around the South, because not every good story becomes a literary classic.
