Pages As Planes: Beach Reads for Vacation

I haven’t shared a Pages As Planes round up in so long! In truth, I felt like I’d exhausted most of the destinations I had read but there’s always time for more beach reads. I am itching for the warm weather to stick around up here in the great north because it’s my favorite reading season. But the magic of books that we can travel wherever we want to go within the pages! So, let’s head to the many different kinds of beaches we all love through these books.

Controversially, I love this book and while I don’t read this author a ton anymore, the setting is always the star of the show. A magical tip to Nantucket awaits.
