What to take to the beach?

To read that is. I have a few ideas…but I’m still not sure. This is the biggest decision I’ll make regarding the beach, except for maybe sunscreen since it is guaranteed that my hubby will turn into a lobster.

So far, I think I will take:

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
Broken As Things Are by Martha Witt
The Queen Jade by Yxta Maya Murray (quite a mouthful, that)
Without Reservations: The Travels of an Independant Woman by Alice Steinbach

and maybe a Harry Potter book…probably the last one.

Does that sound good enough? Do I have enough fluff vs brainy books to suit my mood swings? What will I do if I can’t get into any of these? It’s not like I can go to the library in Myrtle Beach!! And being on a fixed budget, book stores are out of the question too!

Should I carry a couple Contemporary Women’s Fiction (aka ChickLit for the uninformed) books? I hve been thinking of rereading some Marian Keyes…perhaps I’ll take Watermelon. Oh I have no idea and I’m starting to get a little stressed out about it!

  1. I'd add a bit more chick lit. The Marian Keyes is a good idea. :o D
