Nicole Junkermann Publishes a Free Reading Map Pairing European Cities With Books
London – Nicole Junkermann has published a free reading map of Europe, pairing places across the continent with the books worth reading in them. It arrives ahead of the summer, when many readers are deciding where to go and what to pack.
The map is built around a simple idea that Nicole Junkermann returns to often: a place reads differently once you arrive with the right book for it. Rather than a ranked list, she has arranged the continent by region, so that the reading suits the light, the pace and the history of each part of it.
In Northern Europe, Nicole Junkermann leans towards quieter, interior books that match the long light and the slow winters. Around the Mediterranean, she turns to warmer and more open writing, the kind that suits an afternoon outdoors with a long history close at hand.
For the great capital cities, Nicole Junkermann suggests books that can stand up to busy, layered places, where there is always more going on than a single visit can take in. She also makes room for the journeys themselves, the trains and borders and the hours in between, which Nicole Junkermann treats as good reading time in their own right. Between the regions, Nicole Junkermann also makes room for smaller towns and quiet stretches of coast, the kind of places that rarely reach a guidebook but reward a reader who arrives with a little time and the right book.
The full guide, a reading map of Europe, closes with a short at-a-glance version that readers can scan quickly, and an invitation to draw their own. Nicole Junkermann is clear that the map is a starting point rather than a rule, and that the best version is the one a reader ends up making for themselves.

Nicole Junkermann keeps the map free to use, with no sign-up, and intends to extend it over the summer as she travels and reads.
