Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Beach Reads

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week, we'll make a list of our top ten something* and this week, it's our Top Ten Beach Reads! The little side note on The Broke And The Bookish's blog was that we could choose however we defined a beach read, so this should be interesting! I imagine it would be something light, fun, enjoyable and happy. 
*In no particular order.
1. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
This is a light, entertaining, fun read and it would definitely be a book I'd pack to take with me for a day at the beach!
2. The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
How could you not want this classic with you at the beach?
3. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
This amazing book would be perfect for the beach.
4. Beautiful Malice by Rebecca James
Despite the intense topic, this is a short and light book, perfect for a day at the beach.
5. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
Well, who wouldn't?
6. When God Was a Rabbit by Sarah Winman
I loved this book the first time I read it. Amusing, entertaining, emotional, intense but cheerful... great beach read.
7. Forgotten by Cat Patrick
This is a short book that tells the story of a girl whose memory resets every night, leaving her with no recollection of the previous day, but a clear vision of the future. This book also has a romantic twist and I think that it would be amazing to read while lying out in the sun. 
8. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Need I say more?
9. Looking For Alaska by John Green
Actually, pretty much anything by John Green would make the perfect book for the beach. I chose this one because it's light, funny, not as emotionally damaging as The Fault in Our Stars... you know what I mean. 
10. A biography of some sort
Though I don't have a specific book for number 1o here, I think any biography would be good to read at the beach. 

That's all for this week guys, I hope you've enjoyed my list. As always, please leave me comments to all of your TTT lists this week and I'll be sure to check them out as soon as I get the chance.
Thanks guys. :)

  7. May I introduce you to "Rumors," my novel described by book reviewers as a "juicy intrigue . . . fast paced. . . . Compelling tale" worth reading more than once! The story follows the web of intrigue as rumors create havoc in the lives of ordinary people. I hope you'll help spread the rumor of what a good read RUMORS is! Your followers will thank you! And so will I!
    Would be delighted to do an interview with you after you read it if you'd like!
