I also want to read Delirium. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-books-do-you-like-to-read-on-vacation-plus-recommendations#post-2260403 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 22:05:29 +0000 Ra 2260403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's an older book but I just tore through The Red Tent. One of the best books I've read in a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-books-do-you-like-to-read-on-vacation-plus-recommendations#post-2260348 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 20:57:45 +0000 QueensBee 2260348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm reading In the Country by Mia Alvar (who happens to be my boss' daughter!) this summer. It's a collection of short stories that "vividly gives voice to the women and men of the Filipino diaspora." I think it's beautifully written and you might enjoy reading it while on your visit there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-books-do-you-like-to-read-on-vacation-plus-recommendations#post-2260241 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 19:24:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2260241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: I was just about to suggest The Martian! My BIL gave it to me and I loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-books-do-you-like-to-read-on-vacation-plus-recommendations#post-2260239 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 19:23:17 +0000 erinbaderin 2260239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've recommended The Martian to everybody and everybody I know has loved it - impossible to stop reading, though, so if you want to enjoy your vacation it's a bit dangerous. I also really loved All The Light We Cannot See.</p> <p>I recently read and enjoyed A Hundred Summers, and a great summer read is The Royal We by Jessica Cocks and Heather Morgan (the Fug Girls, if you read Go Fug Yourself). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-books-do-you-like-to-read-on-vacation-plus-recommendations#post-2259844 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:49:07 +0000 josina 2259844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished The Girl on the Train, great book...<br /> The Selection is a great series (YA), and also recently read The Martian, which was hard to put down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-books-do-you-like-to-read-on-vacation-plus-recommendations#post-2259835 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:40:42 +0000 LibbyLou 2259835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My summer reading is always YA centric. So easy to get through!<br /> Wonder is my favorite recommendation.<br /> I hunt killers (trilogy): murder mystery light<br /> Graceling trilogy: same vein as Divergent/hunger games<br /> I also recently read Code name Verity which was a good quick read! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-books-do-you-like-to-read-on-vacation-plus-recommendations#post-2259641 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 09:27:32 +0000 lamariniere 2259641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looooved All the Light We Cannot See, you should read it next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-books-do-you-like-to-read-on-vacation-plus-recommendations#post-2259580 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:40:19 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2259580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to catch up on reading when we come to the Philippines each summer because most of the year I zone out on tv shows instead of reading, even though I love reading! I'm planning on writing a review of some of the books I've read on my trips because I usually get through a ton since electricity is limited here.</p> <p>So far on this trip I've read Strip Tease by Carl Hiaasen (Olive found it on the street in Brooklyn and I'm a fan of his books), The Rosie Project (loved!), The Husband's Secret, and The Girl on the Train.</p> <p>I also have The Book Thief, All the Light We Cannot See, and The Boys in the Boat on my Kindle. I'm currently reading Poking a Dead Frog: Conversations With Today's Top Comedy Writers, and also plan on reading So You've Been Publicly Shamed (two books from Mr. Bee's kindle). </p> <p>What have been some of your favorite vacation reads? My tastes are very varied! </p>
