1. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green - In light of the movie coming out this weekend, I'm going to reread this book, hopefully with less tears this time, but let's face it - there will probably be lots of tears.
2. Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs - I bought the sequel earlier this year, but I think I need to reread this one before I pick up the next. It seems like a perfect beach bag book what with all the beach in this book.
3. Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl - I read Beautiful Creatures last year and liked it, so I thought I'd give this one a nice beach welcome. I love good sequels!
4. This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith - This sounds like it would be the perfect light-hearted beach bag read.
5. Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell - I like a good love story, and from what I can tell this one is loved by many and so I must read it.
6. Something Real by Heather Demetrios - While I'm on the contemporary fiction kick, I'm definitely going to put this in my beach bag. It sounds like a really interesting story and I can't wait to read it.
7. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - Every beach bag needs a classic or two, so I'm throwing this one in there. I haven't read it yet (I know shame on me), but I'm told I will love this story. I've been meaning to read it so in the bag it goes!
8. The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls - I like a good memoir and this one has gotten great reviews.
9. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer - I really don't have any idea what this book is about but I love the title. Hopefully, I'll like the book just as much.
10. Little Women by Lousia May Alcott - Here's another classic to fill my beach bag. I've wanted to read this book for a while, but was never in the mood. Maybe the beach will help put me in the mood to read it.
Oh, I love MISS PEREGRINE'S! I haven't bought the sequel yet (I'm hoping I'll get it for my bday soon). JANE EYRE is another favorite of mine and definitely wonderful summer reading (I also highly recommend REBECCA - I read that one poolside).

That's such a good idea to reread The Fault in Our Stars! I'm probably going to end up rereading it after I see the movie. This Is What Happy Looks Like is adorable, too, and definitely a beach read. Awesome picks :)
ReplyDeleteJennifer E. Smith and John Green are PERFECT for summer! You picked an amazing list! Love your blog <3

ReplyDeleteJane Eyre is a perfect classic for summer! And so much more fun when you're not reading it in a classroom. Enjoy!
