Bookaholics Hit the Beach!

By


There are few things I enjoy more than sitting on the beach under an umbrella, listening to the waves, and reading a good book. So, what makes a good beach book? For me, it needs to be fun, a little romantic or something that takes me out of reality. My husband prefers non-fiction or a military history book. We all have our own reading pleasures. I'll be reviewing books and giving you suggestions on authors and books that I enjoy. However, I want to hear from you, what are your favorite beach reads and why?

The first book that I highly recommend is Body Movers by Stephanie Bond. Here's the synopsis of the book from ebooks:

So Carlotta Wren's life hasn't turned out as she'd planned. She didn't plan for her parents to skip bail for a white-collar crime, leaving her to raise her brother. She didn't plan on having the silver spoon ripped from her mouth and forgoing college to work retail. She didn't plan on her blue-blood fiancé dumping her. And she didn't plan on still being single ten years later, working at Neiman Marcus, with no idea where her fugitive parents are. But she's coping. Until...
·         her lovable brother is arrested, and the hunky cop decides to reopen her parents' case.
·         her brother becomes a body mover for the morgue, and his sexy boss gets Carlotta involved.
·         her former fiancĂ©'s wife (a good customer) is murdered, fingering Carlotta.
With three men in her life, Carlotta has added motivation to help bag a murderer to keep her own well-dressed body from being next on the list!

Body Movers is the first in a series of 8 books so far and I can tell you each one is as good as the next. Stephanie Bond uses humor and family drama to bring these characters to life. The supporting characters, Wesley (her brother), Hannah (her BFF), Jack (the Cop), Coop (the Body Mover), and Peter (the Ex) all have their own stories and each brings a level of mystery and fun to the story. Make no mistake though, this is Carlotta's story and she is the main character throughout the series. Carlotta will keep you highly entertained from page one!

Most of us are reading electronically now, so click on the eBooks link on the left of your screen and download Body Movers today. I promise it'll be worth the read!

Let's Take a Look... Beach Bun has a line of apparel, tote bags, mugs, and hats available with several image options. If you are like me you like a little more about the product you're purchasing. So today we are going to take a look at a few items that are available on our site.  Beach Bun T-Shirt  This is the "I Need Vitamin Sea" Women's Short Sleeve T-Shirt in Heather Green. The brand of the shirt is Anvil. The material is very soft and feels like one of those t-shirts that you've had in your closet for years. You know the one I'm talking about, it has weird grease stains, bleached out spots, and maybe a hole under the arm. It's the shirt you live in and love. Well congratulation, you can now look a little less disheveled. The image on the front of the shirt is clear and the details are distinct. The nice thing about this graphic is that it is pliable and not stiff. I know I've purchased a graphic tee or 2 that the photo was so ...

Beach Memories are the Best Memories

The "Beach" can describe a spot on the Atlantic, the Gulf Coast, the Pacific, on a lake, and so on and so on...and the Beach has the uncanny ability to hold the best memories. From childhood vacations to weddings, the Beach is the location of my most special of remembrances.  I remember my first trip to the beach with my family. My parents packed me and my brother, ages 5 and 3 respectively, in a tiny car with a bunch of camping equipment and set off to the Gulf Coast of Alabama. As we turned on highway 182 that runs parallel with the gulf my brother exclaimed, "Is that snow!?!". The gulf coast is known for its white sand and it did not disappoint.  Over the years my family traveled back to Gulf Shores, Alabama many times. Sometimes it was only my immediate family and others my Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins joined us. Now in my 40's I realize how blessed I am to have the memories of my Grandparents sitting in the surf together or playing ...

Top 5-"Day at the Beach" Must Haves

By

Ok...first of all, I will admit that I am guilty of taking too much stuff for a day at the beach. Over the years I have perfected my Mary Poppins or more currently the Hermoine Granger bag. I am able to pull from my magic bag anything that anyone might need today, tomorrow, or a month from now. Basically, I like to be prepared for ALL contingencies. This is an awesome trait to have on a road trip, at the park, or on a ball field. However, when you have to carry everything over hot sand, it's probably a good idea to pare down the list and bring only the necessities. So here are my top 5 items that are must-haves for a day at the Beach.  (On a side note: I will be shamelessly plugging items from the  Beach Bun  online shop by adding links. Just click on the link for more information about the product) Umbrella .  A good umbrella is important for a number of reasons. The first is obvious, it creates shade to help keep you from getting a sunburn. The umbr...
