Talking Point: Beach (Honeymoon) Reads

ZOMG, I'm getting married in Two. Sleeps. SQUEEP! I finally sorted out which readings we're having (I'll post them here at a later date) but now I have another dilemma... what do I read on the honeymoon? We'll be in Fiji for two weeks (yay!), so there'll be lots of relaxing beach/pool time in which to read.

It's tricky to decide what to take, though. I don't want anything too heavy (metaphorically or literally), so I'm leaning towards something light and fluffy, which will probably end up being a YA romance... but, uh, would that be weird for a honeymoon? Awk-ward.

Anyway, here are some of the books I have in my TBR pile, would love to hear your thoughts...

    I found Game of Thrones really heavy, although I know a lot of people love them so personally, I wouldn't take that one.

    Vixen sounds great though and I love Lord of the Flies.

    Congratulations on finally getting your readings sorted :)

      Hmm maybe I should leave that one for another time then. Thanks Hanna!

      I was going to recommend leaving Game of Thrones behind. It's a fantastic book/series, but I found myself obsessed with it, so if you're like me you'll find it hard to tear yourself away for a swim or a cocktail!

      Congrats on the wedding by the way!

    I loved Sisterhood Everlasting. I've read mixed reviews on it, lots of people upset at how things went, but I thought it was great. If you're a fan of the original Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series I think it's a must read, definitely a lot sadder, but I like my books sad.

    Congratulations on your wedding, and have a great honeymoon!

      I've heard it's sad, so I'm avoiding it at the moment! Don't know how I feel about what I think must happen...

    Yay for the Fitzgerald--I haven't read that one. :) I have a few of the YAs on my TBR, but can't vouch for them just yet.

    Whatever you choose to take, have a wonderful, amazing time, and all the best for your wedding and your honeymoon. I'm so happy for you. :) xx
