Ten Books I Plan to Put on My Beach Bag This Summer

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists over there at The Broke and the Bookish. And who doesn't love a good list?


This week’s topic is Beach Reads, so I've decided to pick ten books that I've had in my shelves for a while that I'd like to read during summer. Here's my selection:

The Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan. Who doesn't love Jenny Colgan's stories? Plus, there's beach and there's baking in this one, what else can you ask for?

How to Love by Katie Cotugno. This YA novel tells the story of a couple who falls in love, twice. It sounds very intriguing.

The Teashop on the Corner by Milly Johnson. Her stories are always so much fun! I actually got this one signed for the lady herself so it's time to finally pick it.

The Time of Our Lives by Jane Costello. I've read (and loved) all of her book except for this one. Plus, it's set in beautiful Barcelona! 

The Cornish House by Liz Fenwick. A bit of Cornwall for summer anyone? I've read a couple of Liz Fenwick's books and loved them. Great stories in a great setting so I'll be picking this one very soon.

One Small Act of Kindness by Lucy Dillon. I've only heard great things about this one. Everyone who has read it, has loved it so I can't wait to discover why.

Wenn du mich fragst, sag ich für immer by Holly Martin. This is the German edition of One Hundred Proposals, which is an amazing love story. 

The Finding of Martha Lost by Caroline Wallace. This one sounds really intriguing and the reviews have been raving about it.

And a couple of ebooks: 

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I haven't read anything by Rainbow Rowell yet and I am planning on rectifying it very soon. 

The Problem With Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Another YA novel that sounds amazing.

  2. The Little Beach Street Bakery and The Teashop on the Corner both sound like great vacation reads. I love reading thrillers on the beach, but I also love something cozy to curl up with in the shade or on the rainy days.

  5. I've only read one Milly Johnson novel which just happens to be The Teashop on the Corner. I really enjoyed it and thought it had a lot more depth to it than I was expecting :)
