I spent a good part of my Sunday scouring Books a Million for a few books I could take along to Boca - cause lets face it, one of the best parts of beaching it up is getting lost in a really good book. My problem is that I only found one book that really caught my eye, The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff ... and cover drew me in so much that I read the back four times on the way home. Then I let myself read the first chapter when I got home - but only the first chapter I promised. Well, if you know anything about me, know this - I don't really "do" patience nor do I "do" self-restraint. The first chapter turned into me reading all 500+ pages in one sitting.
I'm Boca-bound in 3 days and book-less...
So please, dear lusty ones....
(That's your new name, I've decided... Try it on. Feels nice, doesn't it?)
Tell me you've got some great summer reads to recommend???
Please no Nicholas Sparks-y type cryfests though,... I enjoy having my SPF 70 not dribble down my face in a tidal wave of tears and snot.

Ok.. the one before me had a few good ones.
The Alchemist is a must!
Eat, Pray, Love is divine.
Feast of Roses. One of the most wonderful love stories ever. I mean ever.
Pillars of the Earth. Wow.
My Sister's Keeper... don't see the movie. The books is 1,000 times better.
That should help you out.
one of my favs (its old though so you may have already read it)-- the other boleyn girl. amazing book!! :)
When do you leave for Boca?
Alice Hoffman.
Any one of her books.
Practical Magic is a good place to start.
I have a few if you want to dig/borrow.
In fact that pretty much applies to my whole collection.. I'm planning on unpacking tonight and tomorrow sooo!
OMG, 500 pages in one sitting is so impressive! Wish I could do that . . . I love reading, but I gotta admit I'm a pretty slow reader. Right now I'm just finishing My Italian Affair by Laura Fraser (memoir) and I LOVE it. Other books I've loved this year: The Hunger Games and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Have fun on your beach trip!
