Top Ten Beach Reads

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's topic: Top Ten Beach Reads

I love to read super fluffy books at the beach so that's pretty much what this list will be comprised of!


1.) The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward-I wouldn't mind spending a beach day with Vishous and the other brothers.

2.) Anything by Nora Roberts-I don't read her books very often but they would definitely be something I throw in my beach bag.

3.) The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead-I wouldn't call this series fluffy but it is definitely one that would keep me glued to my beach chair.

4.) The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich-Hilarious fluffy fun!  My only concern would be that these books would make me laugh out loud and people would look at me weird.

5.) Anything by Jen Lancaster-Sea, sand and snark...count me in!

6.) The Millenium series by Stieg Larsson-I know that not everyone loves these books but they completely sucked me in.  They would have been great books to take to the beach!

7.) The Fever series by Karen Marie Moning-Beach and Barrons?  Yes, please!

That's all I've got!  What books are on your list?  Leave me a link so I can check it out!

    Ever since I saw the Stephanie Plum movie, I've been wanting to read the books! I feel like you're right and they'd qualify as great beach reads.

    For a good fun read, Stephanie Plum steps up the plate every time. Larsson is on my list to read later this year. Thanks.

    For so many years, there was a new Stephanie Plum book out every summer! Perfect timing, I think.

Review: "Oleanna" by Julie K. Rose

Synopsis:  Set during the separation of Norway from Sweden in 1905, this richly detailed novel of love and loss was inspired by the life of the author's great-great-aunts. Oleanna and her sister Elisabeth are the last of their family working their farm deep in the western fjordland. A new century has begun, and the world outside is changing, but in the Sunnfjord their world is as small and secluded as the verdant banks of a high mountain lake. The arrival of Anders, a cotter living just across the farm's border, unsettles Oleanna 's peaceful but isolated existence. Sharing a common bond of loneliness and grief, Anders stirs within her the wildness and wanderlust she has worked so hard to tame. When she is confronted with another crippling loss, Oleanna must decide once and for all how to face her past, claim her future, and find her place in a wide new world. My Thoughts:   I was very surprised by what an absolutely beautiful story Oleanna is.  The ...

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over...

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get...
