Yes, summer is here!

You can tell as soon as you walk out the door and humidity slaps you in the face like a warm, damp washcloth. Five minutes outside and your hair is frizzy, sweats twinkling down your back, and your eyes are a little cloudy from squinting against the hot sun.
And then there’re the bugs. We won’t even go there! Anybody who’s lived in the South, knows summer and bugs go hand-in-hand. The rain comes in heavy storms during the afternoon hours, cooling the temperature a few degrees for a few hours.
But there’s also a sense of freedom that comes when the temperatures heat up. Kids are out of school and they’re feeling that sense the freedom. You can hear it from the shouts of laughter coming from the pool.
Even adults tend to be a bit more laid-back, ready to enjoy life a little more. This is vacation time, even if it’s only a stay-cation.

Days are spent at the beach lathering on sunscreen and drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated. Doesn’t matter if you go in the water or not, you feel like its cooler because you’re at the beach. The waterways are active with boats, jet skis and paddle-boarders. Yes, summer is a fun time.
There are essential things you have to take to the beach; a good pair of sunglasses, sunscreen, water, towels to sit on so the sand doesn’t creep up your butt, flip-flops so your feet don’t burn on the hot sand and a good book to read.
There are always some great books to take with you, whether you use your e-reader or a book. To me, there’s nothing more relaxing than sitting under an umbrella with a book in front of me listening to the waves and hearing the squeals of happy children running up and down the beach.

Since the sun tends to make you tired and an afternoon nap is often accompanied by day at the beach, I find that my reading is a little lighter and shorter.
There are tons of new books coming out on Amazon and other marketplaces. These are perfect for beach reads; whether you’re in for a cozy mystery, a lighthearted comedy, or sizzling romance. This is the time year when we can sit back and relax and get our reading in.
So what’s in your beach basket? What type of book are you reading?
