What Exactly Is A “Beach Book”?

Love A Great Beach Book!

I’ve had a few people ask me: what is a “beach book”? Is it about the beach or does it mean something else?

After doing a bit of research, a “beach book” is an easily read novel that is usually read by the pool or curled up in a comfy chair. The story is comforting, familiar and usually has a happy ending. They are usually books that allow you to just take a break from real life.

Though I read a variety of books (my goal is to read 100 books per year), I love “beach books”. Just as described above, these books let me just escape the real world and enter into someone else’s life, even if it is all not real. Sometimes these books are funny and some are inspiring as I listen to characters as they overcome incredible odds. Or they handle life situations with grace and come out of their circumstance a better person. Actually, in some “beach books” we could probably learn a few life lessons.

Since I love these types of books so much, I think that is why I’m so excited about the End Of Summer Beach Book Giveaway! Don’t forget to enter!

Happy Reading!
