Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
Since the Appalachian Trail begins in Georgia, Bill Bryson’s hilarious memoir is an essential travel companion. Bryson recounts his attempt to hike the trail with his out-of-shape friend, Katz. It is laugh-out-loud funny and offers fascinating history about the very woods you are staying in, making your surroundings feel even more alive and adventurous.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
If you prefer a darker, more intellectual atmosphere, Donna Tartt’s debut is a literary masterpiece.
