Need a Good Book to Read?
Have you ever had one of those dreams where you are merrily flip-flopping to your beach chair? You know the dream where you find the perfect location, with a great view of the ocean, bar, cute guys, whatever delights you? You settle in, put on your lotion, try the settings on your chair- not too upright or flat. The breeze tickles you, the gulls are calling, the warm sun is soothing as you reach into your tote bag for your book. Your hand hits your makeup bag, your phone, your coupon for the free punchbowl margarita-daiquiri.
Where’s my book?!
Where is it? It has to be here.
You grab that tote and dump everything on your lap and flip sand and lotion on it as you search for your book
*Cue the Jaws music*
I don’t have anything to read!
YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO READ!
You wake up crying and shaking. Thank goodness it was just a dream. You breathe those calming breaths and tell yourself…I’ll get up, make a cup of coffee and read Jenabooks blog. She’ll have lots of good book ideas. I can take piles of good stories to the beach and not worry.
And just like in 2016, here I am with more fabulous reads for the backyard, beach or blizzard. (You certainly don’t want to be snowed in without a stack of books, do you??) You can traipse to you favorite relaxing place with plenty to read, or you can load them on your ereader (but don’t forget it!)
We’ve Got the Books!
I have read and reviewed all of these books. Many of them are romance, chick lit, women’s fiction, historical fiction, but there are some books about health and a few other genres. As you will see, I sorted them for you, in some kind of arbitrary system I created. Click on the author’s name to go to their Amazon page or the book name to go to my review. Many of the book covers are shown in the slide show.

*I don’t want to confuse you, or lose you. You may be wondering what’s the difference between authors with a series, and authors who wrote more and more. Well, the more and more authors are those who are writing a variety of books, not in the form of a series.
Now that’s clear, there are more authors here!
