Top Ten Tuesday (48)


This week's topic is

'Beach Reads' means something different to everyone.  For some people, it's a brainless read: they want something they can enjoy without thinking too hard.  It is vacation after all.  Some people want a thick book they can get lost in.  Some people don't give a crap either way.  I am a total goober.  I really enjoy reading beach-y or summery books at the beach.  So here is my list of beachy feeling books to read at the beach.


I said it in my review, but I'll say it again, this book made me want to be an adventurer.


The first in a series about a beach house and the two brothers Belly's loved in one way or another her entire life.


*Gasp* It's not YA!  But it's still Judy Blume.  I used to reread Summer Sisters every summer.


Probably my favorite Sarah Dessen book.


An epic road trip makes up for the lack of beach in this one.


I love the 'dare' element to this book.


A classic.  Summer separates four best friends and they stay connected through a pair of jeans.


The Garretts are one of my favorite YA family units ever.


Just be prepared, this one's a cry-fest.


Summer in London?  Yes please!

Have any great beach-y or summery suggestions for me?  Leave them in the comments please!
