Top Ten Tuesday is an original and weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
~~ Ten Beach/Summer Vacay Reads ~~
This week for Top Ten Tuesday, the topic is actually listed as Beach Reads Week, but let's face it, anyone who knows me really well knows that I'm really not a beach person. Yes. I know. How dare I blaspheme the beauty of summer vacay on a beach with books by not being into it? But I've just never been all that enticed by beaches. I certainly find them lovely and peaceful. But while everyone and their best friend finds the soothing ocean sounds and the warm rays of sun on their faces a great Happy Place, I'm actually more content somewhere else. My own Happy Place involves a fireplace, select food and beverages, a stack of books and a nice comfortable couch or beanbag chair.
Anyway, allow me to put a spin on this topic the same way I did with another, similar topic sometime last year: Summer Beach Reads. Rather than picking some beach reads, I'd rather just choose some books that I think would make great summertime vacation reads for a bit of R&R... or maybe even some books I'm interested in reading for this summer while I'm on vacation.
Oh, and what a coincidence! I WILL be going on a short vacation with my family in a week, AND I'm taking vacation days for the next two weeks as well, starting this coming Sunday. How delightful! Maybe this should be a list of books I plan on read during my vacation week, during family vacation as well as during the rest of my stay-cation.
