When I read, I travel. Some days, I actually leave home. Those are the days I write about.

Welcome to Pin Drops & Paper Trails.

My adventures run the gamut from grand experiences in America’s National Parks to weekend-warrior discoveries in my own backyard. Along for the ride are the books that inspire me to travel to new places or delve deeper when I come home. These are my travels and the books that accompany me.

What I’m Reading

The Nazi Officer's Wife by Edith Hahn Beer with Susan Dworkin

I happened across The Nazi Officer’s Wife in my local Goodwill store a few days ago. For $1.99, I couldn’t pass it up, especially since I have tickets in hand for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

Edith Hahn Beer’s account of being a “U-boat” during the Holocaust is riveting, tragic, and uplifting at the same time. All of her personal papers accumulated during the Holocaust are now housed in the museum I’ll be visiting next week. This book is a perfect example of how reading augments my travels.
