Summer is near its midpoint. Many will be congregating to the beach to work on their tan (hopefully not too much), dip their toes in the sand, jump in the ocean, and many other traditions and fun.
Chances are that there will be people who will be reading a book or two while limiting their exposure to the hot rays.
For those who plan to read on the beach, here are ten books to choose from for that next excursion to the beach.

About the Author
Catholic Millennial. I hail from Philadelphia, PA. 4th-degree member of the Knights of Columbus. I enjoy writing, traveling, ballroom dancing, meeting new people, having deep conversations over a cold beer or wine (sometimes champagne), and petting adorable dogs that come right past me.
I hope to convey more messages from our culture with a twist of faith.
Some of my writings will range from pro-life (yes, men can have a say in the abortion issue, Karen), pop culture, history, and just some spontaneous reflections without warning
