Beach Companions: Spring Break Poolside Reads
Spring Break is fast approaching and besides a margarita permanently placed in my grasp, there is something else I’m looking forward to accompanying me on the beach. And it is a good book. There is really nothing like the feeling of placing your lounge chair up to the waves to tickle your feet, and slamming through drink after drink book after book.
Web Spy: 1000 Awesome Things
We’ve all heard the old saying that it’s the little things in life that really matter. But it’s easy to get so caught up in everything else in our lives that we can forget about all those little things.

Saturday Read: Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
It seems that these days, everybody is obsessed with vampires. Since “Twilight” burst onto the literary scene, an entire genre of vampire fiction has emerged. However, Charlaine Harris with her Sookie Stackhouse novels (as they are known) was present long before Stephanie Meyer.
Saturday Read: White Oleander by Janet Fitch
Hopefully you are enjoying the sun in your part of the world (my part of Canada, however, is still not sunny) and getting outside! There is nothing I love more in the summer than curling up on a comfy lawn chair or towel and just reading away the afternoon.

The 7 Best Self Help Books I’ve Ever Heard Of

I’ll admit it: I’ve got a thing for relationship self-help books. When I’m working the floor at my local bookstore, I can’t help but skim through the latest additions to the section.
Saturday Read: The Reincarnationist by M.J. Rose
For all of you Dan Brown fans just chomping at the bit waiting for “The Solomon Key” (word on the street is you’ll be waiting for eternity), I have a book to satisfy your appetites for a while!
Saturday Read: Dedication by Emma McLaughin and Nicola Krauss
I am not a huge reader of chick-lit, but I admit, sometimes I just get the urge and have to indulge! It’s like the 99 times I pass by Mrs. Fields at the mall until that on time I can’t take the fresh cookie smell anymore…. and I get three.
