Which book for Australia?

I have to choose a book to take with me on this next trip........it's something I do every time I'm away for a while. At sea there's often down time, sporadic and very slow Internet to post blog content or send e-mails. I look for a comfy deck chair, in the shade if in a warm climate, or curl up in an armchair in one of the lounges when it's chilly. I also enjoy reading a chapter or two before turning out the light at night. Above are some of the more decorative books around the cottage - of course they're not in the running for a journey thousands of miles from home.

I've narrowed it down to two paperbacks, one thick and bulky, the other slim and light. I'm thinking of another trip planned for next year.....a lengthy adventure where a thick book will definitely be required to while away time on the ocean. That said, the smaller one will be accompanying me to Australia......and the title you ask? 

It's THE COLOR OF TEA by Hannah Tunnicliffe which I 

received as the lucky winner from Marilyn of 

Delights of the Heart in her recent giveaway.

Marilyn, I'll be thinking of you as I turn the 
pages while the ship rocks gently on those 
hot nights ahead - thanks again for the sweet gift 
which will be tucked into my bag.
