This week's topic is Top Ten Best Beach Reads.
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
I think the first books I ever took to the beach where The Mortal Instrument ones. I remember sun bathing while reading about Jace and Claire and the world of Shadowhunters and Downloaders and loving every minute of it.
Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty
Jessica's humor is as dry as the desert in a hot summer day and it's amazing.
It's a really fast read that'll keep you hooked and awed to the inner workings of Jessica's mind as she lives life and writes it all down.
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
Sometimes all you want for the summer is to find a really light and fast book to read, and that's what you get when you read about Anna's new life in Paris: the sweetest story filled with romance and humor and that'll leave you giddy after you finish reading it.
Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter
Reading about a camp of troubled teens during the summer is all I've ever wanted in my life.
Especially when they're supernatural.
The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
Another fast and sweet read where the title tells us everything, really.
Girl comes back to spend the summer with boys looking all grown up and that draws their attention. Summer romance ensues.
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Dystopias always remind me of heat and sun and summer things, and Delirium is definitely one of the best books of this particular genre out there.
Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
Simone Elkeles is a terrifc writer, and Pierfect Chemistry is one of my favorite books written by her.
It was also one I read with my feet stuck in the sand and the ocean about four blocks away, so it'll always have a spot in my best beach reads.
Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins
Book one of my favorite trilogy ever, oh my god.
That's the entire reason why this is on the list, to be honest. Because it's one of my favorites books, and it came out close to the summer, and it's just so good and it has romance and angels and demons and it's the best!
Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally
My Top Ten needs to have a sports book, and this is it.
The fact that this one has a girl for her high school football team's quarterback is just a bonus.
Divergent by Veronica Roth
And another dystopian book, although this one focuses less on finding love and more on finding yourself. Quick and action-filled read that will keep you glued to the pages until the very end.
I feel guilty saying this but Divergent is still on my own TBR! Maybe I need to make it a beach read this summer. Great list!

I loved Delirium and Divergent. I haven't read any of the other books, so I'll have to check out your recommendations.
