6 books to kick off your summer!

Thursday, May 22, 2014


Summer (un)officially starts this weekend and if you are like me you are already planning what books to read at the beach this weekend or what books to take on vacation with you this summer.  Here are six of my favorite books to read poolside or with sand between your toes… put these reads at the top of your list for summer reading!

Beautiful Ruins: A Novel… An epic love story that takes place in Italy and LA over the span of 50 years.  Even if you don't have sunny plans this weekend you will feel the sun on your shoulders as the author plops you on the picturesque Italian coastline.

Rules of Civility: A Novel… this is one of my all time favorite books.   It's a glitzy and glamorous story that takes place in New York City among high society in the 1930's.  Grab a gin and tonic and settle in with this gem of a book.

Me Before You: A Novel… wear your darkest sunglasses and grab a tissue (or ten) as you settle in to this moving and deliciously tragic story of love and hardship.  You won't be able to put it down.

The Interestings: A Novel… this book begins with the characters at summer camp (serious summer nostalgia included!) and takes us through the lives of the six campers as they grow up and change.  This is a sweeping story of life and love and the decisions we make. 

The Art of Hearing Heartbeats… mystery, love and inspiration abound in this unique love story.  This is a story that will move and amaze you. This author just released a sequel too, which I can't wait to read, called A Well-Tempered Heart.

Where'd You Go, Bernadette: A Novel… a hilarious story of Bernadette Fox, opinionated and quirky mom living in Seattle.  There are crazy private school mothers, virtual assistants in India, email trails and trips to Antarctica in this adventure of a book.
