Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created and hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week we are given a different top ten to complete. For more information and a list of past and future topics, go here.
I absolutely love this weeks topic, I go to Antalya, Turkey in 5 weeks time and writing this is just going to make me so excited! I will be listing the books I am actually taking with me when I go and also past reads I may have read whilst on holiday or would have read if I hadn't read them already.
- Me Before You By Jojo Moyes - This book is a big seller in work, so I get the vibe that it is appropriate for Summer holidays, also Jen has read it and recommends it to most people so i'm going to give it a shot myself.
- Finding Audrey By Sophie Kinsella - Once again blame Jen for this, had this book in my to be read pile for quite a while and I have been waiting for my holiday to read it.
- The Marble Collector By Cecilia Ahern - This book sounds so good both me and Jen bought it when it was the half price offer in work, the cover even looks like something you would read on holiday.
- My Grandmother Sends Her Regards By Fredrik Backman - If you look at my next list you will see another book by this author, A Man Called Ove which I finished not so long ago. I found his other book such an easy carefree read that I have to read this one while i'm away.
- The Last Star By Rick Yancey - This has been on the delivery list for absolute weeks and I have been waiting for absolute years, I gave up waiting in the end and seeked it else where so although I would like to read this on holiday there is a big chance it will be read before I go
- The Mobile Library By David Whitehouse - One of my favourite books this year, its a book about books and a journey, what better way than to be on a journey reading about one.
- A Man Called Ove By Fredrik Backman - As mentioned in my first list Fredrik Backmans last book that I read was a lovely light carefree easy read, this is that book, I cried but the sun and heat would hide that on holiday wouldn't it and if it didn't I would go in the pool.
- Room By Emma Donoghue - It is not the usual happy holiday book some people would go with but I found it so engaging that I could escape from reality even more on holiday while reading this book.
- Carry On By Rainbow Rowell - You have probably all read something by Rainbow Rowell so this is probably self explanatory, her books are just amazing, I read Eleanor & Park on my holiday last year and it just seemed fitting to the surroundings. Sun, Sea and a good read.
- Dumplin' By Julie Murphy - This book is all about body image, I am not the slimmest of people and on holiday I sometimes feel a little bit self conscious, I actually began to accept the body I have when reading this book so I feel as though if I was reading this on holiday whilst laying around in a bikini I wouldn't feel so self conscious.
I
have not been on holiday in 11years, and the last book I read on holiday
was Seeds of Yesterday by Virginia Andrews. It wasn’t on a beach
though. So I guess I will just have to do books I would take with me on
holiday….If someone paid for me to go and held my hand on the plane!
- Bookends by Jane Green - It’s a lovely light read, funny in places with little twists. I used to picture Portia as Jessica Rabbit in a cat suit!
- Murder House by James Patterson with David Ellis - it’s a thriller and its set at a beach side resort! Really good page turner, even though I guessed who it was! It would be atmospheric to read this on a beach, but not with a serial killer!
- Shopaholic Abroad by Sophie Kinsella - Queen Shopper Becky Bloomwood goes abroad! Quite apt! Just a fun read!
- Jaws by Peter Benchley - If don’t want to swim in the sea, read it! If you like me are scared shitless about sharks, don’t read it or even think about it.
- Me Before You by Jojo Moyes - If you fantasize about being rescued by a hunky lifeguard from drowning in your own tears; this would be the book to take on holiday.
- My Story by Tom Daley - For the pictures, so you can fall asleep with Tom on the beach in his budgie smugglers!
- The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins - Because it is sooooo good!
- Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell - Just a sweet story for reading whilst you slurp your 99!
- Sparkling Cyanide by Agatha Christie - I love a good whodunit! I guess who it was in this one too! I could be the next Miss Marple! But at the moment I don’t have enough wrinkles!
- Mightier than the Sword by Jeffrey Archer - I am on holiday (from work) at the moment and this is what I am reading!
