Trashy beach reading!
ok, so I got your attention!
Let's start a list of what you wanna read on the beach this year (or on vacation, etc.)
Maybe not so trashy, I don't recall the last time I read anything that would be called "trash" unless you count reading Star magazine in line at the grocery store.
I'm heading to Florida in a few days, and while I'll likely take one of my flight manuals (fun fun huh?) I'm going to select one book from my current stack to take with me. (or, maybe more than one...)
will post later what I decide, but let's start a list here!

I just finished St. Dale, the new book by Sharyn McCrumb. It is about a group tour to all the Dale Earnhardt NASCAR racing sites, and it is a hoot. It is more like her MacPherson series, not the ballad novels.

Do you want to be scared? Nicki French- her books scare big time.
I read, The Devil Wore Prada on vacation last month. It's an easy read and after that your own boss probably won't seem so bad, after all. LOL! If you know anything about fashion, and I don't, it's interesting in other ways.

Elizabeth Berg writes some good ones. They raen't trashy, but they are basically easy to read without having to think too much. Careful though-- she has two main themes: she either writes about middle-aged women having identity crises (highly recommeneded good reading) or about 16-17 year old girls coming of age (not highly recommended). Open House is a good one to start with.

Janet Evanovich's books...All are terrific,but I'm partial to the Stephanie Plum series.They're a great combination of steamy lust and absolute crack up out loud reading. I got hooked quickly,reread all of the series atleast once,and buy the newest one the day it comes out.

THE book of the spring has to be "I Am Charlotte Simmons"-the new Tom Wolfe. A blast from the past of all the good, bad and ugly from college years with a 21st century twist. Really thick but quick read!

Lots of fun reading posted on here! I agree with klr, though about Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books. They are absolutely hilarious! The first one I bought was on vacation last year. I was reading in the hotel room one night and began laughing uncontrollably. My husband thought I'd gone nuts, but the book was just hysterically funny!

Hi starsville, oh yes, I love Rosamunde Pilcher's books too.
Actually, I love to read!
And BTW, for anyone who is a stepmother (or who will be) or who has any interest in Finland I just finished a book which was written in 1980.
Title is Stepping. Author is Nancy Thayer. Fantastic book.
Bergdof Blondes by Plum Sykes is a good trashy beach read too!
So many books, so little time, LOL!
