Best Summer Reads

I read something new... i do have favorites that i reread but not usually on vacation

I wouldn't want to read the same book every time I went on a vacation..... unless there were about ten years between vacations! Even then, I probably wouldn't re-read the same book. I do get what you're saying though. It does feel comfortable and dependable. 

For me, I figure I only have a limited number of reading years left in my life. I don't want to "waste" my time re-reading a book when there are so many other books out there just waiting to be read! 

(Ask me then, why I keep watching repeats of my favourite TV shows, when there are so many other shows waiting to be watched - I'm nothing if not inconsistent!   )

I do prefer to read page-turners when I am on vacation. I guess to me, that means "chick lit", although I don't really like that term. Something by Marian Keyes, for example, is perfect vacation reading.

That is so interesting. I have never heard of anyone doing that before, with the exception of my DD, who still reads 'Twas the Night before Christmas to her girls every Christmas Eve. The girls are all adults now, but still love it, even though they have sometimes had to do it via video chat.

I have reread a few of my absolute favourites, but not more than once. I try to choose my books carefully, read reviews and look forward to being pleasantly surprised by a new wonderful and well written story.

While I do agree that any book you read at the beach is a beach book, I do lean more towards a beachy read.

I have almost never re read a book. When I have I didn't enoy it as much, even though I didn't remember all the details. Funny because I love rewatching sitcoms, I have a few on constant rotation. I still find it enjoyable even thougg I could almost recite them by heart.
