What a wonderful list for the shore and the slopes! I've only read one from each list, so it looks like I have my work cut out for me!

Thanks, TLC!

Thanks for these suggestions. :]

I would read This Lullaby and The Truth About Forever (both by Sarah Dessen) in the summer. They're not beach-reads, but they're set in the summertime and I love them.

For the winter, I have no clue.

I have Kissing Snowflakes in my TBR pile, if only I could finish my last RITA book! :) Great post!
And I love the title, Icing on the Lake! I'll have to pick that one up.

T -- Some are still on my TBR pile, too. Which ones have you read?

Paige -- Ooh, Sarah Dessen is a great summer pick.

Steph -- Yeah, I still have to finish RITA, too.

I've read the Traveling Pants series & Snow Bunny!

Great list! I'm copying it and stocking up for summer. I loved Aimee Friedman's South Beach, the Traveling Pants books, and of course, anything by Sarah Dessen is golden. I can't wait to read her latest release. I hope you all enjoy my beach read, BRALESS IN WONDERLAND.

Very happy that my book SECRETS OF A SOUTH BEACH PRINCESS was listed as a great beach read. I just spent two weeks in South Beach and am trying to adjust to the rainy/cold northeast. Happy reading, everyone, mary kennedy
