I’d love fiction suggestions for what to read during my trip from NYC to London.
We are flying to a London for 4 days and then taking the Queen Mary Cunard cruise back to NYC. I’d love fiction suggestions for what to read before, during and after. Thanks.
I am reading The Royal Nanny for book club right now and I like it. Also just finishing A Stranger in the House. Easy quick read.

You will love the cruise home… Be sure you check out the library on board ship…
The Library on Queen Mary had lots of cruise themed books when last we traveled on her

While researching your suggestion I discovered it’s on Bill Gate’s recommended reading list and then I found this treasure trove: https://www.gatesnotes.com/Books#All

So jealous!!
The Autobiography of Henry VIII with notes by his Fool by Margaret George
I got a copy of this on your recommendation @Marla, have yet to start!
The Voyage Out Virginia Woolf
That sounds amazing!!!!!!
Dream trip for me. One day!
Our Hearts Were Young And Gay by Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough. Have a wonderful trip!
The Library is wonderful on the Queen Mary. Pick a book your 1st day by choosing what grabs you. Lots of cozy reading spots to enjoy throughout the “ocean liner”. Did a great Road Scholar Art History Trip on with a Transatlantic crossing last year and choose art related themes for my reading.
