Ten Books We Plan to Have In Our Beach Bags This Summer

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's Top Ten list is a freebie so we decided to do "Ten Books We Plan to Have in Our Beach Bags This Summer"

Nicole's Top Five

1. Wish You Were Italian by Kristin Rae - The setting of this book screams summer but I also heard it's a really cute story.
2. The Chapel Wars by Lindsey Leavitt - I'm told this book will make me laugh and that's enough to convince me to read it.
3. Signs Point to Yes by Sandy Hall - I LOVED A Little Something Different and cannot wait for more Sandy Hall-induced adorableness!
4. Whatever Life Throws at You by Julie Cross - I've heard great this about this book and got it off a Kindle Daily Deal (thanks to Ash!)!
5. Bounce by Noelle August - I have really enjoyed this series so far and I cannot wait to read Grey's story next!

Ashley's Top Five

1. Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli -I just got this one for my birthday and cannot wait to start!

2. The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West - I really enjoyed The Distance Between Us, so I look forward to this one!

3. The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord - I have not read anything by Emery Lord but have seen awesome reviews.

4. Boomerang (Boomerang #1) by Noelle August - Nicole really enjoys this new adult series and I like lighter new adult that has some humor in it!

5. Make it Count (Bowler University #1) by Megan Erickson - I actually have this on my kindle and have been waiting until summer time to start this fun series.

What are your top ten?

Nicole - I am super excited for Signs Point to Yes as well! I also look forward to reading Bounce but first I guess I need to read Rebound. hahaha

Ashley - I hope you get around to reading The Fill-In Boyfriend and Boomerang and enjoy them I think you will. I still have yet to read an Emery Lord novel but I plan to this summer as well!

Happy reading!

The Chapel Wars was amazing! And you'll love Whatever Life Throws at You too, Nicole.

I can't believe you haven't read Simon yet, Ashley! It's a must read.

Everyone raved about The Start of Me and You when it first came out. I will definitely try to pick it up this summer to see what everyone was raving about.

Wish You Were Italian, The Start of Me and You, and The Fill-In Boyfriend are all great. And I want to read Signs Point to Yes, too, for the exact same reasons as you, Nicole.

You guys both picked the perfect light and fluffy beach reads. The Chapel Wars…LOVED IT.

Simon!!! I'm smiling just thinking about that book. And The Start of Me and You…I really enjoyed it and I was not a fan of her first book.
