Summer time, for some years now, is also the time of game books for adultsa moment to relax, to play a little and, why not, also do a little mindfulness.
One of the most interesting Italian gamebooks for this summer 2024 is undoubtedly Book Sun LoverOf Isa Grassano. A kind of travel notebook born to gather inspirations, but also to crystallize the most beautiful memories, as the author told us: «When I travel I bring with me a notebook, a sketchbook. The pages fill up with words, sentences taken from books I read (many), but also with ferry tickets, receipts for coffees drunk in sunny squares and flowers picked near the beaches and left to dry. Every piece of glued paper, every thought, every sentence tells a story and transforms these pages into something special that speaks of me and the places I have visited. It is as if, over time, the diaries become almost a personal book of past adventures. Rereading them takes me back in time, making me relive those special moments and smile. That’s why I thought of Book Sun Lovera notebook where you can write down impressions and emotions aroused by the holiday, but also the history and the originality of a plot of a read text in holiday resorts.”
