My shared hobby with him is reading. We love to spend our days off relaxing together in our room, but sometimes we also want to go on a trip! For women who feel the same way, we would like to suggest a trip to a "book-loving inn." There are many inns across the country that have libraries and bookstores attached, making them perfect for book-loving couples.

In a space surrounded by books, you can pick up a book at will, chat a little, or just immerse yourself in a book... spending time like this is sure to bring the two of you even closer together. Another great thing about a trip with your partner is that you can really enjoy your time at the inn. Why not spend a relaxing weekend with your partner at an inn that's perfect for book-loving couples? We'll introduce you to 9 "inns with books" across the country!
