I always pack a book (or three) when I travel, and lately I’ve been deep in a series that has kept me company across flights, beaches, airports and quiet evenings: Lucinda Riley’s Seven Sisters series. I’ve been reading them for months now, dipping in and out over various trips and trios of travel days — and honestly, I’ve loved every one.

Alongside those, I’ve also enjoyed mixing in something more thought-provoking (How AI Will Change Your Life) and a gripping historical novel (The Alice Network). Here are my current favourites, with quick synopses and Kindle links since that’s where I read everything.

✨ The Seven Sisters Series by Lucinda Riley

A seven-book epic inspired loosely by the mythology of the Pleiades — each book following one adopted sister as she uncovers her origins somewhere in the world. What I loved most is how each story blends dual timelines, historical detail, romance, mystery and far-flung locations. Perfect for travel days.

I’ve been reading the whole series over months, always picking one up mid-trip or finishing one on a beach. It’s become a bit of a travel companion.
