Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.Each week we will post a new Top Ten list complete with one of our bloggers’ answers. Everyone is welcome to join. If you can’t come up with ten, don’t worry about it—post as many as you can!
This week's topic is beach bag books. What books would I take to the beach? This presupposes that I could actually have a day at the beach to read. Unfortunately with three children, this just doesn't happen. But, if I could...
- Anything from Neil Gaiman -- It's not super light fare, but his books are great to get lost in. I'd recommend American Gods, Good Omens, or Stardust.
- Any historical romance -- A great romance is the perfect beach companion.
- Collection of stories -- Short stories are great because they are easy to read.
- YA Dystopians -- Heavier fare, but they are easy to read.
- Lighter science fiction -- Don't pick up Asimov or Heinlein, but do go for Douglas Adams or Ray Bradbury.
