OT - good "beach" book
OK so in a few weeks I am headed to the shore for a few days at the beach - YAY! I want to bring a good book with me - any suggestions? I want a fairly easy read as I'll be there with kids who will need some of my attention. I like historical fiction - anything with a good story! Not much of a murder/mystery person.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I LOVED this book I just read. it's very easy reading but it's not historial at all.
It's called, " The disreputable history of Frankie Landau-Banks"
It was so cute I couldn't put it down. The only problem is, it goes fast so I hope you won't be there too long or you'll need to bring another one. LOL

The last 5 I read. All easy reads, in fact most I read out a Beltzville:
The Good Shepherd by Jo Coudert
How an amazing dog brought a mother back from the brink of despair after losing her Son to cancer.
How Star-bucks Saved My life by Michael Gates Gill
A big bucks ad exec loses his job and winds up working at Star-bucks at the counter and how he discovered himself. Easy read, short book.
Why I Jumped by Tina Zahn
The story of a girl that tried to commit suicided and failed. Self discovery.
Escape by Carolyn Jessop
Escaped from a polygamist sect.
Rescuing Sprite by Mark Levin
How rescuing a dog changed his life.
A Good Dog by Jon Katz
How after getting involved with dogs Jon changed priorities and his life. Lot`s of local references like Carolyn Wilki from Raspberry Ridge Sheep farm near Bangor where Jon did a lot of dog training and herding.
So what beach did you decide on?

oh i LOVE the secret life of bees... and the mermaid chair! Sue Monk Kidd is wonderful!
Liz - if you like historical fiction and want something light and really fun (and engaging), have you read Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series? Don't be put off by their shelving in the Romance section (they really transcend that classification!)... They're really addictive! I believe the proper order is: Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, Fiery Cross, Breath of Snow and Ashes, and (very new) An Echo in the Bone.
