Penelope's Fun, Different, Quirky, Not the Same Old-Same Old Summer Reading Recommendations
After reading my 3rd "summer reading recommendation" list and falling asleep, I decided it was time to offer something a bit different, instead of the same old-same old authors/books.
Here are some of my favorite recent reads, in a variety of genres, that would all make fabulous "beach" reads this summer. They run the gamut from sultry, sexy, romantic to scary-as-crap, hilarious, bittersweet, charming, fascinating, and finally...hipster.
I like my summer reading to be light, quick, and fun for...
