FH and I are going on a mini-vacation next month and I'd like to pick up a few books to read while we are away. Does anyone have any good recommendations? Nothing too heavy just some light, quick reading for the beach.

I read American Wife on my last vacation. Sort of models Laura Bush's life....interesting.
For a good laugh, Straight Up and Dirty by Stephanie Klein is good.

I just Mitch Albom's new book 'Have a Little Faith' and that was really good. I love all of his books, I would look into those. All of the Shopaholic books are good by Sophie Kinsella!

Time Traveller's Wife is amazing. It's a little bit heavier than an easy beach read, but an amazing love story.
If you like The Hills, Lauren Conrad's LA Candy was actually entertaining!! definitely an easy beach read.

I just started 'The Strain' by Guillermo Del Toro (Yes, the director of Pan's Labrinyth) and it's pretty good! It's described at Stephen King meets Anne Rice.

Re: NWR: Good Books?
The Diamonds - by Ted Michael - like an actual HS drama book - hysterical!
Lovely Bones - if you want something deeper
Bumping into Geniuses - a very cool account of the history of the music industry
Anything Nicholas Sparks
Anything Sophie Kinsella
Eat, Pray, Love = THE BEST BOOK EVER
Anything Jodi Picoult, but usually a bit sad
Catcher in the Rye (RIP JD Salinger)
Any Chelsea Handler books - she's hysterical.
Hope this helps!

Re: NWR: Good Books?
I agree w/ any books written by Nicholas Sparks.
I am a HUGE fan of Augusten Burroughs (Running w/ Scissors) - the movie was horrible the book was okay - but his other books are amazing! A little on the deeper side - Sellivision was fiction and the rest are non-fiction.
I'm all about the Twilight series too - totally quick reads.
I Dream In Italian - I read that on the beach in Nags Head, NC a couple summers ago - it was a cute book.
Devil Wears Prada - on the older side, but again - a quick simple read.
Loveely Bones is a favorite of mine too - but again, a bit on the deeper side but its a quick read.
If you can tolerate it - I am in the middle of Jane Austin's 'Pride and Prejudice', yea totally a classic but the love story is really interesting.
