My Beach Book Picks
The Mistress
I like to start a Vacation Book pile with a Patterson, James
Patterson. I prefer the independent books (not the series). Patterson truly
writes action packed page- turners building the excitement with one page
chapters. This summer I chose The Mistress, I hope it is chock full of action
adventure, perhaps to be read in one beach session?
Silence for the Dead
I've been waiting for this book to come out in paperback,
and I’m thrilled that it did so before summer vacation. St. James tends to set
strong female characters in mysterious and often ghostly World War 1 settings. I anticipate
part romance, part mystery and a bit of suspense – sounds perfect!
How the Light Gets In
How the Light Gets In was nominated for the Edgar Awards
this year, these are my favorite book awards (mystery) and I love that Louise Penny is
getting recognition. Louise Penny is a
fantastic mystery author and I am a great fan of her lovely flawed wonderful
characters. If you have not read Louise Penny, start with the first in the
series – Still Life.
Divergent
Yes, I am behind the times! I finally got Divergent in
paperback and have been saving it to read at the beach. My husband has already read this book and
recommended it to me. I hear this is a fast read, and I love that it is the first in
a series.
Lovers at the Chameleon Club*
*Book Club
I’m not a big fan of Historical Fiction; however this
premise seems unique and fascinating. And, this book just got critical acclaim on Book Page (one of my favorite book websites).The subject is the Paris nightclub scene Post
World War 1, with cross-dressing Lesbian Lou Villers as the lead character...
Sweet Expectations
This is my guilty pleasure, a Chick Lit book about a bakery,
sounds like the perfect beach indulgence to me!
Other books tossed in my beach bag: All the Summer Girls, Whiskey
Beach, As The Pig Turns, Winter Lodge Hmm…seems Chick Lit heavy, there is a
strong chance I will buy a Mystery paperback at the beach!
