Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Beach Reads (however YOU define a beach read!)

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's 'Top Ten' is Top Ten Beach Reads. I define a beach read as a short, light, and fluffy book to pass the time while tanning. While some of these are more fluffy than others, they are all great books for a day at the beach! That being said, let's get into the list!

1. The Boyfriend League by Rachel Hawthorne- Danielle wants a boyfriend and loves baseball, so the perfect solution is to get a baseball-playing boyfriend. When the newspaper advertises that the local summer team needs homes for players, Danielle volunteers and falls in love with the cute pitcher. A light, summer read with a cute love interest and some funny moments!
2. So Inn Love by Catherine Clark- In So Inn Love, Liza works at an inn that's right on the ocean. She doesn't expect to fall in love or meet up with her old childhood friend that suddently acts as if they have no history. Like The Boyfriend League, this is a fluffy book with a cute romance!
3. Thrill Ride by Rachel Hawthorne- Megan leaves her boyfriend to work at an amusement park (that I swear is Cedar Point). Thrill Ride is the perfect beach read because it's just plain fun. It's nothing too deep and has some cute romantic moments.
4. 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson- Though not fluffy like the other books I have mentioned, 13 Little Blue Envelopes would be great for the beach! Ginny recieves 13 envelopes, which take her on a crazy adventure through Europe. The traveling aspect of the book and the quirky characters make it a great choice for the beach!
5. Beneath the Glitter by Elle and Blair Fowler- If you like reading magazines at the beach, you'll like reading Beneath the Glitter there as well. In Beneath the Glitter, Sophia and Ava London hit up the Hollywood social scene after their popular YouTube videos go viral and they work on their makeup line. It's a fluffy, Hollywood glitz novel that's perfect for anyone who loves reading People magazine at the beach.
6. Girl At Sea by Maureen Johnson- Like 13 Little Blue Envelopes, this isn't exactly a fluffy novel like the others. Girl at Sea follows Clio as she sails on a boat around the Mediterranean with her father and his crew in search of a treasure. This is a cool story that mixes a past event with the present. The Mediterranean and boat aspects of the book make it a cool book to read while at the beach.
7. Killer Cruise by Jennifer Shaw- So, who's trying to kill the birthday girl? That is what Ashley (the birthday girl) is trying to figure out when she sets sail on a cruise ship with her friends for her sixteenth birthday. With a some romance and a killer (pun intended) mystery, Killer Cruise is a slightly different choice for beach read.
8. Past Perfect by Leila Sales- Chelsea works at a colonial village for the summer that has a rivalry with the village from across the street. Chelsea unexpectedly falls in love... but with the enemy. Past Perfect is funny and original, but not very deep, which makes it perfect for the beach!
9. Picture Perfect by Catherine Clark- Emily goes on a vacation with her family and family friends in the Outer Banks. While she meets some cute guys, it is a guy from the past that has her heart. Like Thrill Ride and So Inn Love, Picture Perfect is a light, fluffy novel with a cute romance and the perfect beach setting for a read at the beach.
10. Reality Check by Jen Calonita- This book will make you never want to be on a reality show (as if Jersey Shore wasn't enough). Charlie and her three best friends become insta-celebrities when they are given their own reality show. However, their friendship threatens to fall apart when on screen drama becomes off screen drama as well. Just like Beneath the Glitter, Reality Check is perfect for those who like reading magazines like People while at the beach.
