Ten Beach Reads: Recent & Upcoming
Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where we make lists of our top ten books (or something else!) based on that week’s prompt. The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review.
This weeks topic is: Beach Reads Week (top ten great beach reads, ten books I plan to read on the beach, ten beach reads for those who don’t like typical ~beach reads~, ten authors who are my go-to for beach reads, etc.).
This is actually a perfect topic for today because at this moment I am soaking up my last minutes of vacation! I’m headed home from Hilton Head Island at some point today and will be back to normal life after a long car ride home between tonight and tomorrow. Because I’m in the midst of a beachy, warm vacation, I’m going to share the planned beach reads for this summer and some of the books I brought with me on my vacation this past week. Because I’m on vacation, I’m going to be lazy and not offer any commentary about these books. You’ll have to find the Goodreads yourself 😉
I’ve got Summer Days and Summer Nights on my TTT this week as one I can’t wait to read! I hope it was a good one!
I hope so too! Of course I didn’t get to it on vacation 😉
I also hope I could read The Summer I Turned Pretty and Boys of Summer this holiday. And Summer In The Invisible City sounds interesting. Great list!
Thank you!
I got sucked in my the cover of The Islanders. I am kind of obsessed with pictures of boats. I’ve added it to my Goodreads list.
Haha good luck! I’m reading it now and it still feels weirdly 90s even though it was updated when it was republished.
I’m really holding out hope that I love Summer Days and Summer Nights just as much as the holiday collection of short stories that Perkins edited! Because I LOVED that one! Happy reading Lauren!
Yeah me too! Thank you <3
I still need to read The Summer I Turned Pretty series. I do want to get Summer Days and Summer Nights. Looks like such fun stories. Great list!!
Thank you!!
Those all look like the perfect beach reads! They all just scream summer!
I hope you had a great vacation. Safe travels!

Thank you!!
Although I had some mixed feelings about The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy, I must admit that it was perfect for reading at the beach. The beachy setting of the story is ideal and it definitely gives off those great summery vibes. Happy reading!
Yeah definitely! The “world-building” if anything is the best 🙂
So excited to read Summer of Sloane! I’ve heard such promising things about it, and I’m definitely in the mood for more contemporary reads now that the weather is getting warmer 🙂
I know same here!!
