Top Ten Tuesday is a book meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s prompt is about books that will be in my beach bag this summer or books that should be in one’s beach bag this summer. This is just sort of a mix of books that should be in your beach bag and books that will most definitely be in my mine. I had a tough time deciding for this one!
#1: The Selection series by Keira Cass.
I haven’t even finished the first book and I love this series! These books will definitely be in my beach bag this summer! (EDIT: I wrote this post before I finished the series. But ohhhh cheese. Just. Don’t get me started, okay?)
#2: Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson
I think I already gave you an ear full over how much I loved this book in Stacking the Shelves Saturday, but seriously – best book ever!! I can’t wait to post my review for it on Wednesday =)
#3: This Star Won’t Go Out
I really want to get this one; I kind of looked through part of it at Barnes & Noble the other day, and I definitely will be adding it to my beach bag.
#4: Don’t Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout
So first off, the cover is just gorgeous, and really beautiful. So is the blurb, and I really think this will be an awesome read! Hopefully this will also be in my beach bag this summer!
#5: Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay
The cover is… incredible, the blurb made me want to cry… I have this book sitting on my bookshelves, waiting to be read! I will definitely be reading it before I even have a chance to put it in my beach bag.
#6: Maybe One Day by Melissa Kantor
I’ve wanted to read this one for a very long time, so I really want it to be in my beach bag. I hope I’ll get a chance to read it soon!!
#7: Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
Yeah, okay, my first Rainbow Rowell experience wasn’t all that great. But I’m willing to give second chances! And I’ve heard great things about this one from several of my good friends. Going in my beach bag.
#8: The Minnow by Diana Sweeney
Okay, so really, the cover is what first caught my eye. But LOOK AT IT. It’s so fabulous!! Plus I’ve read many reviews on it, and it sounds interesting. Too bad I can only find the Kindle Edition. (Well, Kindle, looks like you’re going in my beach bag, too.)
#9: The Fairest Beauty by Melanie Dickerson.
I read this last summer and loved it! It kind of gives you a medieval times romance type feel, and it’s a really fun summer read. You should really consider adding this to your beach bag!
#10: Paper Towns by John Green.
Definitely. Just… I have no words. I just really want it in my beach bag since I got so many raving recommendations from several of my best friends =)
This was a fun TTT =) Tomorrow I’ll be posting my review for Second Chance Summer, so until then!
Haha, now I’m really excited about The Selection! 😉 And I can’t wait to see what you thought of Eleanor and Park.
Have you read it?! I’ve said this about books before, but this one really had me on my toes. Lol, me neither. 😛
Paper Towns is on my list too because so many people have said it was good. And Don’t Look Back sounds like an amazing read – I’m definitely adding it to my TBR list. Also, I hope you enjoy Eleanor and Park and it’ll be interesting to see what you think!
They do both sound amazing! I hope I enjoy it, too 😉
Morgan Matson is one author I have yet to read in the contemporary YA sphere (but I really want to!). Some great choices here. I really need to read the Selection series…
Her style of writing kind of reminds me a bit of Sarah Dessen, but I feel like her characters go a bit deeper. OMG! Why hasn’t anyone read them? You totally should. They’re awesome. 😀
I really want to read The Fairest Beauty because it’s a fairy tale retelling and I am quite obsessed with fairy tale retellings. Plus, the cover is gorgeous. I also want to read This Star Won’t Go Out because I love memoirs from a teens’ perspectives. Sarah’s Key seems like a good read too. Sad, but interesting. I’ve heard such good things about The Minnow, but the subject matter isn’t really my thing, so I don’t know about that one. Anyway, this is a great list! Good job!

The Fairest Beauty is really good. It’s like… in the middle between AWESOME and GOOD. Does that make sense? Lol. But I think it’s the best out of all of Melanie Dickerson’s fairy tale retellings. Plus I have a signed copy! 🙂 I think all of them sound great. Sara’s Key IS really sad. Right now I’m walking around with the book and a box of tissues!
I adored Paper Towns!! It was probably a bit TOO much like Looking for Alaska, but it still rocked. 😉 I need to finish the Selection series…gah, need. more. time. to. read. XD I hope you get a chance to try The Minnow. I SO LOVE THAT BOOK. It looks super awesome on my bookshelf. Seriously: cover love.
Really? I haven’t even read Looking for Alaska, so. D: The Selection series was amazing! I knooow! I think half the reason I want to read The Minnow is because of the cover. 😀
