Top Ten Books That Will Be In My Beach Bag


Top 10 Tuesday is a meme by Broke and Bookish, hosted each Tuesday, where bloggers list their top 10 in the chosen topic of the week.

Today's Topic:

Top Ten Books That Will Be In My Beach Bag
 
This is actually a really good topic for me because I'm leaving for the beach this weekend.  It's going to be so much fun, and I was having trouble figuring out which books to bring, because honestly, can I just bring my whole bookshelf?  But here is what I've narrowed it down to.
 
 
 
 

1: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare Yes, I just finished reading this whole series, but I really want to go back and re-read the series and see what I missed and make new connections.  I also want to re-read TID because I flew through that series so fast and didn't really take time to appreciate and remember it.

 
 
 

#2: Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson I read this book last summer and let's just say I wasn't a fan.  But then a few months ago when I was battling the Arctic cold that was our winter, I kept on thinking of how badly I wanted to read this book again.  So I had mom get it for my birthday, and I'm going to read it (and hopefully love it) this summer.
 
 
 
 
 

#3: The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey I'm sensing a theme here.  Most of these books are re-reads.  Actually, technically this isn't a re-read because I couldn't even get half-way through when I first tried to read it.  But, since everyone loves this book, and it's being made into a movie, I figure I have to give it another try.
 
 
 
 

#4: My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick Hey what do ya know, another re-read.  I read this book at the end of summer last year...and it was one of my favorite books of the year, and of all time.  Such an amazing book with a perfect romance and amazing writing.  I freaking love this book!!
 
 
 
 

#5: What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen Really, I want to read all of Sarah Dessen's books.  I own 7 of them, and I hope to read them all.  A few are re-reads, but a few are new, like this book.
 
 
 
 

#6: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins Yes I am the only person in the world who hasn't read this book. I am extremely ashamed.  I've heard so many amazing things about it and I can't wait to read it, preferably at a beach.
 
 
 
 

#7: Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts This is kind of a random one because "summer reading" doesn't really come to mind when you think of it.  But ever since I got this book like 5 months ago it's been staring at me from my bookshelf with little puppy eyes saying "read me, read me".  So I'll read it haha
 
 
 
 

#8: Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick Yes, another re-read.  But this book is really special.  It's one of the first paranormal books I ever read when I started getting obsessed with YA books.  I remember Nightshade (by Andrea Cremer) being my first one, and then I snuck this one home from the library because I thought my mom didn't want me reading it (she didn't care haha).  But I read it a few years ago and I can't really remember much, so I want to re-read this and the sequel, Crescendo.
 
 
 
 

#9: The Maze Runner by James Dashner This one has been sitting on my shelf for a long time, both my brothers have read it, and the movie will be coming out in the fall/winter.  Need I say more?  I have to read it!
 
 
 
 

#10: Bloodlines by Richelle Mead I want to read this book and then continue on with the series.  I loved Vampire Academy so I can't wait to see what goes down in these books!!!
 
 
 
So, that's my Top Ten.  I want to see what your Top Ten is!

  2. Second Chance Summer is one of my all time favorite contemporaries! I'm so glad you're giving it another shot. The Bloodlines series is one of my favorites, too. I think it's even better than the VD series. Awesome picks :)
