"There's time enough at last!"
Neither of us gets very much time to read these days. He doesn't have time because he studies all the damn time. And I just don't do a good enough job making time anymore. Between working, commuting, wedding planning, blogging, working out, sleeping, and talking to Mr. Unicycle on the phone, I don't have much time left over, and what little I do have, I squander away looking at blogs.
Needless to say, we're both looking forward to a little literary filled R&R on the honeymoon. We'll be in Punta Cana for a week (I can't believe I haven't posted about this yet!) at an all-inclusive resort. I've never been on a fancy beach vacation like this, so I'm not sure how much reading time we'll actually have. But I want to be prepared! Here's what I've got so far:
Chick Lit:
I love myself a good piece of chick lit. I've been reading Sophie Kinsella since the early days of the Shopaholic series, and I'm not afraid to admit it. I went through Jane Green's complete works a few summers ago before moving onto Emily Giffin. These are the epitome of beach reads and I intend to snag all of them. (Except the new Emily Giffin won't be out in time. Boo.)
Funny Non-Fiction:
I've been wanting to read all three of these books for a while now, and I figure there's no time like the honeymoon to have a few laughs, right? Plus, since these are non-fiction books as opposed to novels, I'll be less likely to get sucked into them and ignore Mr. Unicycle. I don't want a book that I'm going to get too into. I read the first Hunger Games book in about 2 days when I really should have been working on my invitations, so I don't want to start the second book until everything calms down. And I really don't want to be ignoring my new husband in favor of a book on our honeymoon.
What else do you suggest I read on the honeymoon? I'd love some suggestions for good beach reads or other books you've read lately that you absolutely loved! Do they make honeymoon themed novels?
