Basking in Beach Reads



So, while the weather might not be super beach friendly at the moment, we're betting that as July approaches, many people will be hitting the shore (or will be looking for a book that sets a beach-y mood!). So without further ado, a roundup of some recommended beach reads pulled from a variety of lists from around the web.

  • The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman. Heart-wrenching moral questions will keep your wheels turning even in bright sunlight.
  • Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler. A fictional account of the rocky romance of Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald. 
  • Family Pictures by Jane Green. A dark truth is revealed when two families from different coasts connect.
  • The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen. Enjoy young adult fiction? Sarah Dessen is a longtime summer favorite, and her new title is more romantic and easy-breezy goodness.
  • Let's go ahead and throw all of Nancy Thayer's titles onto our list. 
  • For those who like a little thrill with their sunblock, why not try one of the books co-authored by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer?
  • The Silver Star by Jeannette Walls. The story of two sisters whose relationship is strained when one is able to adjust easily to a new town, leaving the other behind.
  • The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Neil Gaiman's new novel, is a short, hugely compelling modern fairy tale.
Hope you find something to fill your tote bag in this list - give us a call and we'll put any - or all! - of these on hold for you today!
