Disclaimer: the topic was technically books in your beach bag, but I did that just last summer, and I thought travel bag was a bit more fitting since we're moving soon (or planning to; God has a funny way of making us fit with His plans instead of Him working with ours). So, instead of the beach, these are the books I will/would be reading during that couple-day drive to our new home in Virginia. The first three are books I have yet to read (and the very first is one I have an ARC of); the rest are ones that just seemed fitting to read during a sort-of road trip.
1. Tonight the Streets Are Ours by Leila Sales
2. Three Day Summer by Sarvenaz Tash
3. Sophomore Year Is Greek to Me by Meredith Zeitlin
4. Open Road Summer by Emery Lord
5. Time Between Us by Tamara Ireland Stone
6. Just One Day by Gayle Forman
7. You Are Here by Jennifer E. Smith
8. Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch
9. Wish You Were Italian by Kristin Rae
10. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins (both the English and French editions)
11. The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord
12. Don't Touch by Rachel M. Wilson
13. Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson (Literally, I think this book makes just about every list I make.)
So what books are in your beach/travel bag? Are there any you think I should add to mine?
I can't do this post because every trip's travel bag books are different- of late, they're whatever's at the top of my to-read list, plus the stuff on my Kindle/phone. Looks like your bag is pretty good, though.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note: why the dragon-kissed, black-burnt pumpernickel is everyone I know moving of late? :P Stupid goodbyes. (I know I won't say goodbye to you, but to a lot of other people I will.)
I just stuck a lot of perennial rereads in mine because I have the same ever-changing TBR list dilemma. xD
DeleteBut hey, at least I'm moving closer to you, right?
I really need to read Snow Like Ashes, it sounds something that I would thoroughly enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteI really like it! There's a lot of world-building but it never felt like info-dump.
Deletei like how you changed it up a bit for this week! Open Road Summer is definitely on my list as well! great post this week Emma!

Aw, thanks, Emily. :)
DeleteSnow Like Ashes and Since You've Been Gone were both so, so good! I recommend The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy by Jenny Han :)
ReplyDeleteNce list of beach reads!!
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to my Top Ten Tuesday post for this week: http://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2015/05/top-ten-tuesday-ten-books-i-plan-to.html
Never heard of Sophomore Year is Greek to Me, but since I *am* Greek that's now on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteIt's apparently for fans of Anna and the French Kiss. I bought it before reading it (which I rarely do), so here's hoping it's good... Glad I could introduce you to a new book for your TBR!
DeleteYou have a lot of great choices! I plan to read Since You've Been Gone this summer and Just One Day at some point this year. Of the ones I've read, I'd recommend Anna and the French Kiss. :)
