What makes a bibliomaniac happy? Well, in my case, a breezy place by the river, under the shadow of a tree, a stellar collection of great books and, of course, a bottle of water to keep me hydrated. When it comes to the oh-so-beloved summer, the ideal location to have a great read is in a cafe, at a deserted beach under the parasol, by a window with a view that fires up your imagination, on a swing by the lake or at someplace where the temperature doesn’t go above 22 degrees.
Being a servant of modern society, we can’t afford the luxury of leaving our businesses and jobs behind only to have a month-long staycation in the summer. However, we have a few other options – like taking a trip to someplace during the weekends where we can hop on a beach and read a book or two. We have picked the top 10 books for your next summer staycation, each poking the breeze of fresh air to have a chillax summer. Hope you will have a beautiful summer partner in these beauties, enjoy!
