As someone who loves the beach, I am a big fan of beach reads. To celebrate the summer season, I have a beach read feature that lasts all summer long, where I share my favorite books of the summer. I hope that you'll find some great recommendations to add to your beach bag. Below, you'll find highlights and "best of" posts from each year.
