The Hotel Nantucket

The Hotel Nantucket Cover Book by Elin Hilderbrand

World Travel

World Travel Novel cover of the book

by Anthony Bourdain

Being a huge fan of the late Anthony Bourdain and someone travels for pleasure a lot throughout the year, I chose this book. It wasn’t until after I bought the book I realized his assistant wrote the novel. If you are into travel and learning about different cultures and food, than you will enjoy this book. Another amazing book that is written by Anthony Bourdain than I would recommend Kitchen Confidential.
