TTT: A Twist on "Beach Reads"

Top Ten Tuesday: A Twist on "Beach Reads"  -- Poolside Reads

I'm from the Pacific Northwest where reading at the beach is nearly impossible unless one happens to be at the Pacific coast on a still, warm day. Even if the beach is sunny, it is usually too windy to comfortably read while sitting on the beach. So, for a twist on today's topic I've decided to look back on books I've read during our yearly vacation to a resort in Central Oregon, where it is usually quite warm  or other places we've vacationed which have perfect weather for poolside reading.



1. July 28, 2025 (today) --Central Oregon--  What It Means When A Man Falls From the Sky: Stories by Leslie Nneki Arimah

2. August 6, 2024 --Central Oregon -- My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

3. July 2, 2023 -- Whistler, BC -- Work Song by Ivan Doig

4. June 26, 2022 -- Palm Springs, CA -- Stranger Planet by Nathan Pyle

5. July 4, 2022 -- Northern California -- The Rose Code by Kate Quinn

6. June 3, 2021 -- Lake Tahoe, CA -- The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green

7. June 5, 2021 -- Lake Tahoe, CA -- Everything Sad is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri

8. August 4, 2020 -- Central Oregon -- Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King

9. August 11, 2019 -- Central Oregon -- The Summer Book by Tove Jansson

10. June 22, 2019 -- Whistler, BC -- America for Beginners by Leah Franqui

Obviously books I choose to read poolside are just the books I happen to be reading at the time. I prefer to read books I own so I don't have to worry about water damage, but that is not a hard and fast rule for me.
