What Lighthearted Beach, Poolside or Park Reads Did You Get Lost In?
With summer here, many of us are taking the opportunity to get outside and read. That could mean finding a cozy spot in a park, stretching out on a chair poolside or on a blanket on the beach – or staying warm in bed. "Pool reads" are lighthearted and fun. They're an escape from everything happening in our lives.
When you think of fun stories that had you staying put far longer than you intended, what books come to mind?
