Beach/Beachy Reads

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Please check out her website for more TTT topics!

This week’s topic is:

(Share books you’d take to the beach OR books that take place at the beach.)

I can’t bring books to the beach because I’m either in the water with my kids or keeping an eye on them. So let’s do books with a beachy cover!
