  2. I want these books. But I have too many already. But I want these books. But I have too many.

    Please enter me. Half my brain hopes I don't win.

    I think Nora Roberts books are my favorite beach reads. Half my attention can be on everything around me, the other half can be with interesting characters in entertaining situations.

    I like Sister Honey Bunch's suggestion, except that I don't think I'll be willing to wait to get to the beach to read it!

  17. Oh, gosh, I can't separate books by season! I always love a good fantasy, and beaches seem to be good for re-reading, since I always fall asleep under the sun. So I'll go with my old stand-by, Ender's Game.

  18. It's not a new book, but I have been reading the Julia Quinn Bridgerton Family series. The Duke and I, The Viscount Who Loved Me, and so on. And, to balance it out with some smart reading, Postmodern Fables by Lyotard.

  138. Summer is my season of 2nd Chances with books. If I didn't like it the first time around I usually try re-reading it the following summer to see if I'll like it. This summer I am going through the Twilight Series. I didn't like them much the 1st time around. They are better this time.
