“Got a secret, Can you keep it? Swear this one you’ll save. Better lock it, in your pocket, Taking this one to the grave.”

Another library book find, another book that really is a beach read. While reading this book on the bus daily, I found myself wishing it were August so I could be sitting in the sand, SPF 75 on, a book in hand with the ocean in view.

Another Beaver library book sale find, and another book to read before watching the movie. Except unlike my last read, this one is a memoir by a woman who has had an adventure of a life.

But maybe, there actually is? The Beaver library’s annual book sale came in for the win again when I found the next read just lying around, waiting to be purchased (along with about 8 others that filled my bag). I’m a big believer in reading the book before you see the movie based on it (did it in reverse for The Notebook and we all know that movie is fantastic). So when I found this next read, I had to buy it.

This book was a hand-me down, which always seems to work out well for me. This one went from Massachusetts to Brooklyn to Carnegie (and will probably go to Beaver next). It reminded me a book that you would read while sitting on a beach chair, feet in the water, SPF 50 on and getting some sun. (Or maybe SPF 75 - your call).
