🌺🏔️ Books are great vacation enhancers and I’m leaving at the end of the month for a trip to Hawaii and Alaska. Any good book recommendations for either location? I love detailed descriptions, women’s historical fiction, and mysteries.

David Lodge, Paradise news, Hawai
A bit on the nose, but Hawaii and Alaska, both by James A. Michener. They are huge books but Michener’s formatting allows them to be read sort of like novella collections. I’ve only read Alaska of those two, and loved it.
For Hawaii –
Diamond Head by Cecily Wong
Hula by Jasmin Iolani Hakes
House of Many Gods by Kiana Davenport
Sharks in the Time of Saviors by Kawai Strong Washburn
Behold the Many by Lois Ann Yamanaka
Calabash Stories by Jeffrey J. Higa and House of Thieves by Kaui Hart Hemmings (both short story collections)
Moloka’i by Alan Brennert
– Hawaii: Aloha Betrayed, Every Drop is a Man’s Nightmare or This is Paradise
– Alaska: The Great Alone, The Snow Child or Into the Wild
The Last Aloha and Dragonfruit.
The Legends and Myths of Hawai’i by David Kalākaua.
Mauna Kea by Tom Peek.
