I agree with Cleverly Inked... there are quite a lot of distractions and an easy read is perfect. <br>I also tend to leave it it in the pool bag so I don't want to read something so thought-provoking or engrossing that I bring it to bed to read and... gasp (LOL)... forget it the next time we're at the pool. There's nothing worse than being there with nothing to read.Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13987598950262475994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-19926820642534884952010-06-21T10:17:51.857-04:002010-06-21T10:17:51.857-04:00Ooh, great list!

The beach has a lot going on. Plus reading on the beach you need to be able to pick up and put down the book often due to heat, sun blinding you and beachy distractions. I also have a little one and I need to spend it watching him even though my hubby is there. I guess I figured I's get angry if I picked up a book and it was freaking awesome and I had to put it down. LOL <br><br>I see your point though. Need to rethink my way of beach reading Awesome topic.Cleverly Inkedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16283766836059873892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-76596387719406672212010-06-21T09:21:36.368-04:002010-06-21T09:21:36.368-04:00What a great list Im adding the apple one to my li...What a great list Im adding the apple one to my list....:DTinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00472463335133795820noreply@blogger.com
