Taylor Jenkins Reid Books in Order
So you’re thinking about reading a Taylor Jenkins Reid book, but you don’t know where to start?
In this post I outline each of her books in publication order, starting with the newest, and with a summary of my thoughts for each. The first four books are linked and, although they can be read in any order, they form a quartet centring around the lives of four famous women. Each of them is fantastic, and once you’ve read one you’ll want to read them all.
Welcome to the Viking Skaga - one of Viking Cruises’ noble river ships. She takes her name from an ancient Norse myth, where the Valkyrie Skaga rode into battle and escorted the dead to Valhalla, before preparing them to fight in the epic battle of Ragnarok.
A relatively new ship, the Viking Skaga only entered the fleet in 2020. At just 410 feet and carrying 168 guests and 48 crew, she was built specifically to sail down the Seine in France, although the specific itinerary will vary depending on the time of year. I was fortunate enough to join the ship for her week long Christmas on the Seine cruise, which starts and ends in Paris, calling at Vernon, Caudebec-en-Caux, Rouen, Honflour (via an excursion) and Les Andelys along the way.
