books for the beach

I'm going to be in florida for a week long vaca soon and was looking to get some good semi-mindless books to read while I'm there.

Anyone have any suggestions for some semi-quick and semi-easy and entertaining reads that are good for vacation? 

Re: books for the beach

  • "Are You There Vodka, It's Me, Chelsea" by Chelsea Handler is hilarious and super easy to read; it's a bunch of short stories.

  • House Rules by Jodi Picoult...it is great!
  • I love Jennifer Weiner as well. Janet Evanovich has the Stephanie Plum series (they are number) Super funny, easy to read.  Wendy Wax, Wendy Corsi Staub(also writes as Wendy Markham) both have cute chick lit style books that are what I consider beach reads. Emily Giffin, Marian Keyes, Jane Green, Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

    I could go on and on and on...

  • Anybody Out There? is my favourite Marian Keyes novel.  It's got a great "oh my god" moment part way through.

  • I really like the confessions of a shopaholic books, by Sophie Kinsella they were a good read, I read them pretty quick when I suck home after my surgery.  

    also the Nora Roberts bride quartet, feel in love with the girls in that story! great read and it was easy and mindless to follow

  • For non-fiction, I always recommend David Sedaris, Jen Lancaster or Laure Notaro. For Jen Lancaster, I'd say Bitter is thew New Black or Such a Pretty Fat are my two favorites (though they're all pretty funny), and for Laurie Notaro, I'd go with The Idiot Girls Action Adventure Club or Autobiography of a Fat Bride.  I'd also recommend Laurie Notaro's recent novel, Spooky Little Girl. (Skip her first novel.) Any Sedaris is good Sedaris, IMO.

    Also, I cannot recommend Anna and the French Kiss enough.  I read it on the plane last weekend in one sitting.  I kept telling myself to stop, because it was the only book I had with me, but I couldn't.  It was absolutely delightful.
