People are not only reading more, but specifically reading travel-related stories to fulfill their wanderlust. While airports and hotels have remained underpopulated, many of us have found adventure in the stories that we read.

These books help us discover new places that we’ll be adding to our bucket list when it’s safe to travel again. In most of them, the themes involve beautiful destinations, but they are also about personal growth.
