I am going to the beach this Thursday and I will be all by myself for 5 days! I really need some time off from the wedding planning so I can get back to my normal self. So any good suggestions for some mindless beach reads?

I cannot remember the name, but Barbara Kingsolver has a book of short stories that is perfect for beach reading.  I read it on a recent beach vacation and thought it was really great because you finish a story in a few pages.  It can't really get any more mindless than that, eh?

Not sure what chick-lit you've read, but here are some I love:


* Shopaholic Series


* The Devil Wears Prada


* Everyone Worth Knowing (same author as the Devil Wears Prada)


* The Nannie Diaries


* Can you Keep a Secret


* In Her Shoes


* Little Earthquakes

Great suggestions, but I have already read them all.

My mom loves Diana Gabaldon's books. She brings them to every beach vacation. They're like female adventure stories.

last time I was at the beach I read "The Time Traveler's Wife"...it wasn't as mindless as the Shopaholic series, but an easy read, and pretty engrossing, which is good for when you have lots of time to yourself.


my mom loves Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum mysteries...i haven't read any yet but they sound cute, fun and super-mindless (in a good way).
