Beach Reading

I had the chance to cross a few books off my summer reading list in Cancun. I seem to do my best reading on the beach. There is no better setting for digging into a good book than under the shade with waves crashing nearby.

First up, Lunch in Paris. I (not surprisingly) adored this book. As far as memoirs go, this one is romantic and interesting without being too self-indulgent. Plus, it is chock full of unique recipes. I'm itching to return to Paris more than ever!

Next, is The History of Love. I blew through this in a day and I can't even put it into words. I want to read it again. Joanna put it best when she said this is the type of book you hug. Just read it.

This has been on my bookshelf for a few years now, and for some reason I just kept passing by it. I'm so happy I finally gave it a chance. This tale of three women, with three unique problems, sucked me in right from the start. I think everyone could find someone to relate to in this book. Definitely worth a read.

You guys know I love True Blood... I've heard mixed reviews about the book series, so I thought I'd give it a try. No go. I just couldn't get into it. It's hard to read a story when scenes from the show keep popping in my head. I hate to give up on books, but I think this is just one I'm going to have to let go.
