Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island is a slice of heaven right here on earth.

Winsome cottages dot the lush green hillsides. Fields of potato farms are planted and tilled in exacting rows. Bike trails crisscross this humble hamlet, stopping only where the land meets the sea.

But that's what books do. They bring the whole world to your doorstep, one page at a time.

"Life will always have hardships, pressure, and incredibly annoying people, but books will make it all worthwhile. In books, you will find your North Star, and you will find you." – Anne Lamott
