The Book List Meme - February 18

The Book List Meme, brought to us by Rebecca of Lost In Books, asks this week for three books that make me long for warmer weather. I figured that I could wrap this one up quickly enough. Turns out that I don't really read "beach" reads so there really weren't quick choices. But I do tend to steer away from the heavier fare--both literally and figuratively. These are the kinds of things that make me think of summer reading:

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

The Last Beach Bungalow by Jennie Nash

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding

  2. Great list! I haven't read The Last Beach Bungalow, but have read lots of great things about Jennie Nash's work, so I need to check it out.

  3. I suppose one could put just about any book in the category of making one long for warmer weather these days, with the possible exception of Russian novels!

    :--)

  4. Still cold up there?

    They've started the footy season down here. Way too hot for that. I reckon the guys will have to wear ice vests.

  5. I LOVE Guernsey!

    I think a good warm weather book might be "Garden Spells" by Sarah Addison Allen. The idea of falling asleep in your back yard garden just sounds so warm and peaceful :o)
