[quote=Anonymous]We also have very similar tastes. Books I'd enjoy as vacation reads (that haven't already been mentioned or that you haven't already read, as a lot of my favorites have been covered already) would be:

When We Believed in Mermaids
The Identicals 
The Storied Life of AJ Fikry
Every Summer After
The Secret Bridesmaid 
The Midnight Library
The Restoration of Celia Fairchild 
The Rose Code and The Alice Network (same author, although I did NOT like The Huntress also by her, that was a DNF for me)
Ninth House
And the following by Jodi Picoult:
The Book of Two Ways 
The Storyteller by Jodi 
Mad Honey
(I was a DNF on Sing You Home and I generally never give up on books - this one and the one above are two exceptions)

I LOVE Stephen King and he has some really great books out that that grab you right from the start and are not the gory horror you may think of. More that they have a slight supernatural bent to them. Anyway, I'd think most of his stuff would be good vacation reads. Sleeping Beauties, which was his latest, was also thought-provoking and could make for good idle beach chatter.

Another author I love is Chris Bohjalian. Some of his books I like more than others, but the best ones were Skeletons at the Feast, The Sandcastle Girls, The Light In the Ruins, and Midwives. The next tranche would be The Double Bind, Close Your Eyes Hold Hands, Trans-Sister Radio, Before You Know Kindness, and The Law of Similars. After that I'd list his other books. I've read almost all of them.

Another author I love is Liane Moriarty, and he stuff is perfect for beach reads. What Alice Forgot was my favorite, but I've liked them all in one way or another. [/quote]
