Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
For today’s Top Ten Tuesday post, the topic assigned today was Books to Read By the Pool/At the Beach (This can also serve as your summer TBR)

TTT: My Fav Summer Vacation Reads!
When I think of books to read by the pool or beach, I think of books I would love to read during a summer-time vacation. These books are light and fun, and usually not to heavy to carry. Or ones I would have on hand on my e-reader.
Urban Fantasy:
A lot of urban fantasies are less than 400 pages and come in paperback form. Easy to carry and they usually have a formulaic set-up to their stories which I live for if done right. So here are a couple of my favourites…
Contemporaries:
Who doesn’t want to feel all fluffy inside while chilling by a pool with a beverage? If you want some steamy scenes – be sure to read the Kiss Quotient and The Hating Game! For drama drama drama – Crazy Rich Asians is a must!
Mysteries (Fun Ones!)
I love love love fun mysteries, and my favourite author is Janet Evanovich. I’ve read ALOT of her books, and I don’t think I will ever get tired of them. They are fun and hilarious and I always love to find out whodunnit. I’ve read majority of the Stephanie Plum books and I’m two books into the Heist Series. I wholeheartedly recommend both. I also love Meg Cabot’s Heather Wells series (I’ve raved before on multiple posts). All are physically light to carry and extremely fun to get lost in.
Have you read any of these? Do you agree? If you add any of these on your TBR, please let me know how you like them!
I’m sorry for not linking properly to the books – my baby is climbing everything, so I have precious time to blog, if you want to know more about any of these books, let me know in the comments!
As always…
HAPPY READING!
The Hating Game looks fun! Great list! 😊

I love that you considered the practicality of reading something at the pool – not too long; paperback, etc. All good choices. I need to read Crazy Rich Asians I think… 😀

I appear to mainly go for contemporary romances for my summer reads. I am interested in some of those urban fantasy options, though!

Yes! I recommend The Iron Druid Chronicles for quick summer reads, especially if you like gods/myths.
