Frosted Flakes: Travel and Book Recommendations

I know over a year ago, I asked for Grand Canyon trip recommendations. Well, the time has finally come that my husband and I are headed there and I am trying to get our plans set in stone. So if you have any recommendations for what to do while in Arizona, around Flagstaff, please let me know.

I also will take some good book recommendations. I prefer mostly fiction (historical fiction, suspense are two of my favorites), but can handle a non-fiction that has a good story and isn’t just straight facts. You know, no biology books please.

Here are your flakes.
