Recommend a really good beach read!

[TrudyCampbell]

I'm talking page turning amazingness. It must be awesome and easy to read. Thank you! Let's hear it! 

[Regina Philange]

YES! I need something for vaca.

I just read "Girls in white dresses". It was a really fast read. But i felt it was kind of shallow.

[ruby412]

Hmmm, I always go back to Jodi Picoult for beach reads. They're usually on the heavier side, but still easy reads. However, they all sound kind of the same to me so I space them out!

For something lighter, maybe Emily Giffin? Have you read the Something Borrowed/Something Blue books?

[rainbowchip]

If I Stay
Gone Girl
Ready Player One
Delirium
Divergent
Tell The Wolves I'm Home

I have! But I think there's an Emily Giffin or two I haven't read yet, I'll check it out. 

Anything Hunger Gamesy??

No but now I want to! Yes! Thank, guys!

[Regina Philange]

confession: I have never read Jodi Picoult.

[Deleted]

Where'd You Go, Bernadette (Maria Semple) - easy, funny, totally worth reading

Also, anything by Richard Russo - Nobody's Fool, Empire Falls and Bridge of Sighs are my favorites
Maybe Chocolat and its sequels by Joanne Harris

[irishsara]

I love chick-lit when I'm at the beach. My favorite authors are Jane Green, Emily Giffin, Marian Keyes, Sophia Kinsella, etc.

Oh, the lady who wrote The Devil Wears Prada just came out with a new book, a sequel called "revenge wears prada."

Oh, I have "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" on my to-read list! 

I need more time to read....

[dixeedeluxe]

My friends....there will be no reading on beaches for the next 16 years.

I actually watched it! I popped in to see if there was any talk about it and I just can't ignore a book thread!

Lol! Every time I pack the pool bag with pails and water toys I stare longingly at my stack of magazines and remember how things used to be...
At least my pool still has cocktails 

[rainbowchip]

I'd you are looking for steamy, try The Black Dagger Brotherhood series. The first book is called Lover Mine. They are a little cheesey but HOT!

I just made a list of these to read.  Thanks!

Side note:  why is Shailene Woodley in so many of these movies?

[cat19]

Vampire Academy - page turning YA stupid awesome reading.

Dang it!!!! I totally forgot. Fail.

Books...do you like James Patterson? He has had several co-author books that are nice vacation types. The Beach House has a little bit of crime, a little bit of smut...you know, fun times...and hopefully no tears. NO TEARS ON VACATION!

Beach read twins! Ditto all this!

Have you read the shopaholic books? How about In Her Shoes (so much better than the movie)

[charlielove]

I definitely agree with Divergent and Insurgent if you want something Hunger Games-ish.

ETA: I haven't read a book on the beach in 4+ years, that's for sure. I hope you get to though!
