Bookshelf

I have fond memories of bringing a suitcase with books for my daughter every time we flew. Biff, Chip and Kipper series. The Magic School Bus books. Story books by Julia Donaldson, Roald Dahl, or Judy Blume. Next to my daughter's books, we'd put one or two for ourselves. 

Years later, after so many family trips, our suitcases were still crammed with books. There isn't any real difference. Perhaps the most important change is the merging choice of books for our family. 

My wife and I don't worry much about running out of books on the road. We simply borrowed novels from our daughters. Say, Jasmine had brought with her quite some good selection from Taylor Jenkins Reid during our Norwegian trip. 

The only difficulty for me, honestly, is to choose between Malibu Rising, Atmosphere, and Daisy Jones & The Six, after I had finished mine.
