Grab Some Sun and a Book: Ten Beach Reads

Temperatures are climbing and the humidity is rising. Yup, summer is definitely well on its way. Normally, there’s no better way to beat the heat than a trip to the beach and some fun in the waves. So for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, here are ten reads to keep you company in the sand. And good news: if you’re not up for the beach, these books double as couch reads … or bathtub tomes … or bedtime publications. Really, they’re good for anytime, any place.

      That’s been my mindset lately! I might not be headed to any beach this summer, but I’m going to make the most of the beach reads available.

      It wasn’t my approach to making this list, but I love all of these covers. And I’m with you! It’s all because of those bold, appealing colors.

      This was fun because, to me, a beach read carries a really loose criteria. If a book is fast and fun, I could make a case for packing it to the beach.

    A DEADLY INSIDE SCOOP is on my list today. I’m enjoying cozy mysteries lately and this sounds like a fun opener to a promising series.

    Happy TTT!
