Happy Tuesday, friends!
My plans today?
Sit on the beach here in Turks with my Kindle, my favorite peeps and enjoy the day 🙂 .
(If you listen to The Bestie Breakdown’s new episode today, you’ll hear that Erika has other plans for me…)
Since I’m here at the beach and currently giving away…
…everything in my beach bag (if you haven’t entered to win my giveaway, go now and do it!!), I thought it was the perfect time to share my 30 BEST BEACH BOOKS should you need a light read for your home, poolside or the beach vacation too.
All of the books below are fictitious, easy to read, and perfect for summer. I tried to stay away from heavy topics. These are lighter, cuter, sweeter and will be easy and fun to read this spring and summer. Plus, I’ve added a few meatier ones and even some suspenseful books in for kicks. I’ve put a * next to those.

Great list! I’ve already read 10/30 and 5 in the TBR shelf! Thanks for sharing!!!
Kay says
Did you see that ‘One True Loves’ is a made for TV movie? It was actually pretty good! Definitely kind of lower budget film, but I loved watching it and seeing the book come to life and my teen daughter (15) loved it too!
I hope Erica’s hands are surviving the trip-eeeeek! Have so much fun!
