Beach Holiday

A week long holiday is coming up and the family is heading to the beach for a few days! Hippeedeehip! What joy!

this is where we are going

A holiday without books is not a holiday. I must pack some that I classified as ‘beach novels’. Few days ago, I went through my collection to identify which books to pack. I think I must have changed my mind a thousand times. Initially, I wanted to bring Birthright by Nora Roberts.  Have you read it? Is it good?



Then, I changed my mind and decided to bring these two,

Pretend I'm Not Here by Chris Gavaler is about a weekend for reality show contestant in a beach resort. It promises sun, sand, romance and murder! Goody!

Citizen Girl by Nicola Kraus and Emma McLaughlin, bestselling authors of The Nanny Dairies.

Two books so that I can read the other if I'm tired of one.  To be very honest, I am still pretty undecided.   You never know. I might change my mind at the very last minute. You would know which book I bring through future reviews!

This is where we'll be staying

If you're off to a holiday as well, happy holiday from me to you :)  I hope you remember to pack a book or two.

But time and again, I find myself revisiting that time The time when I thought I’ve loved and lost I was twenty four and he was thirty one I was young and naïve and he was the man of the world I was intrigued by him, he was captivated by me The girl who drank Jack Daniels and knew about war aircrafts  and read about espionages. He introduced me to stuff unknown to me and taught me golf and how to have confidence in myself The girl
