Top Ten Books That Will Be In Daisy's Beach Bag This Summer


To learn more about Top Ten Tuesday or see the list of future topics click here.

My vacation is in June this year and I LOVE reading on the beach, so here's what I'm bringing:

17 First Kisses by Rachael Allen: this sounds like a super cute contemporary, AKA a perfect beach read.

Lady Windermere's Lover by Miranda Neville: I like Miranda Neville's writing and I love reading romance novels in the sun.

The Vanishing Season by Jodi Lynn Anderson: I've heard great things about Tiger Lily and am really curious about this one!

On the Fence by Kasie West: Kasie West is awesome. So I need this in my beach bag. And also: cute contemporaries make for the best summer reads!

For All Time by Jude Devereaux: I LOVED the first book in her Nantucket Brides series, and as I said before: romance + sun = awesome.

Eona by Alison Goodman: we read Eon for book club and Eona is our June read and OMG I JUST NEED TO READ IT BECAUSE EON WAS SOOOOOO GOOD!

Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson: but only if someone tells me it won't make me cry! I've heard her books are tear-inducing and crying on the beach is a bit awkward.

A Breath of Frost by Alyxandra Harvey: because it's a witchy book and I love (good) witchy books.

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez: I'm guessing this will be in more bags than only mine. I read Love in Times of Cholera on the beach in Italy and it worked perfectly, so I'm thinking I'll do the same with this one.

A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin: but only if I can still carry my bag after adding this one cause it's HUGE! But I promised Kelly and Kimberly I'd start it soon, so I'll try!

That's it for me, what's in your beach bag? Anything I should add and explain to the nice people at the airport that my bag is overweight because I just HAD to add another book?

  1. Oh, The Vanishing Season! That's definitely one I want to read this summer.

  2. Yes the Vanishing Season I want to read it so bad! I loved Tiger Lily and actually her contemporary series, Peaches, made it on my list this week =)

    ReplyDelete
  3. Oh, I've read A Breath of Frost. I don't normally read witchy books, but that one was so good. If you haven't read it before, then I highly recommend it.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Awesome list!!! :D
    I have mine here too! And 17 first Kisses and Since You've Been Gone are gonna be on mah TBR SOON! <3

  5. I've read only Eona from these, and it was amazing, I hope you'll enjoy it :) The rest are all on my TBR, so I hope you'll enjoy them, too! Happy reading!

    ReplyDelete
  6. That Hundred Years of Solitude was quite a surprise!

    Here's my Best Beach Bag Books!

    ReplyDelete
  7. One Hundred Years Of Solitude made my list too! I'm reading The Game Of Thrones this summer as well. Really awesome picks!

    Check out my TTT!

  8. I like Harvery, and I LOVE my Nook because it does cut down on the poundage of books I have to carry. But reading at the BEACH...nyah. All that sand, water and glare. I would rather read on the front porch with a nice cool breeze!

    ReplyDelete
  9. I cried a little at the end of Since You've Been Gone, but I think I could have controlled myself if I hadn't been alone. It's mostly just a fun read until the last chapter.

    Also, I'm dying to read On The Fence!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Since You've Been Gone is one of my beach picks. Good to know it's a tearjerker!

    ReplyDelete
  11. The Vanishing Season and Since You've Been Gone sound great. I decided to mix my list up with new books and some that have been in my TBR pile that I hope to polish off on vacation.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Just finished VANISHING SEASON and all I can really say is that it shouldn't be compared to or judged against TIGER LILY. I loved TL -- any classic lit story from the perspective of some other character is brilliant. But things that worked for TL didn't work for VS, and vice versa.

  13. I really want to read SInce You've Been Gone and On the Fence! They both look amazing :)

  15. I think George R. R. Martin makes for perfect beach bag reading! I read two of them poolside myself (books 1 and 3).

    ReplyDelete
  16. Great list!! Since You've Been Gone and On the Fence are both on my TBR list as well. I hope you enjoy all of these books this summer.

    Here is my TTT: http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2014/06/top-ten-tuesday-books-that-will-be-in.html

  17. On the Fence and 17 First Kisses are in my TBR pile. Reading on an Italian beach sounds like a dream!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Great list! I recently bought One Hundred Years of Solitude, but haven't started it - maybe it will get added to my bag as well (:

  19. You should definitely read Since You've Been Gone! I'm surprised that another commenter called it a tearjerker...I didn't have that experience at all (and I'm a weeper!). There's some sweet, heartwarming, best-friendy stuff near the end that made me go "aww," but it is definitely not a sad book, if that's what you're worried about.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I've been wanting to read The Vanishing Season and 17 First Kisses. They sound excellent and I've heard great things about them.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I can't wait to read 17 First Kisses - Rachel is in my book club! I'm so excited for her.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I suggested some of my easier reads to my friends and readers.

    Marianne from

  25. This is a great list and awesome meme! I will definitely be linking up from now on...and I will be adding more books to my Goodreads TBR list.
