2012 Summer Beach Reads

I love a good read for the beach and these four are at the top of my list this summer:


I'll be honest, it usually takes me forever to finish a book - I can just never find the time! It's common for me to hear, "You're still reading that?? It's been 8 months!", however send me on vacation with an Emily Giffin or an Elin Hilderbrand and I'll breeze through in days - undoubtedly my two favorite authors and I'm thrilled they are both coming out with new books this summer!


1.  The Age of Doubt by Andrea Camilleri -Viking, $15
In the latest in the author's series, take another journey to Sicily with Inspector Montalbano, who seeks to penetrate the mystery surrounding two yachts and the discovery of a mutilated corpse. 

2. Monarch Beach by Anita Hughes - St. Martin's Griffin, $14.99
Can a woman create a new life after her husband's infidelity? The answer is yes for Amanda, who ditches that fellow (a French chef) and belongs to a fabulously wealthy San Francisco family. 

*FAVORITE* 
3. Summerland by Elin Hilderbrand - Reagan Arthur/Little, Brown, $26.99
A summer bonfire for the students of Nantucket High ends with a deadly accident and with painful mysteries that their parents will struggle to understand in the months that follow. 

4. Where We Belong by Emily Giffin (June)
Marian Caldwell is a TV producer in her 30s who has put her youthful indiscretions behind her: until the most memorable of them, 18-year-old Kirby, comes knocking at the door of her New York apartment.
