Recs if you like Under the Tuscan Sun...

Atmospheric novels that feel like stepping into another country, another era, another interior life.

A balance of breezy page-turners with immersive classics and thought-provoking non-fiction.

Bonjour, olá, hallo - these books are set all across Europe. From the coast of Portugal to the beautiful Caucasus and from freezing Scandinavia to the islands of the Mediterranean. Mostly fiction, a few non-fiction (mostly memoirs) in there :) Recommendations welcome!

The ultimate bookish read!

Tasty food, gorgeous landscapes, inspiring history - there's so much Italy has to offer for an interesting story.

Sentimental Garbage is a podcast by Caroline O'Donoghue. Often the topic is a particular title/book, so this list is slowly curating the different books that are discussed.

Books about food, travel, nature, and the ways they intersect. May be narrative cookbooks, travelogues, foraging guides - anything that makes my feet itch for travel and my hands quest for spices and spoons.

Travel the world vicariously through these books. Some are adult fiction, some are YA, and others are non-fiction
