If you are like me and like to spend your free time curled up with a good book, here is a list of books that would be perfect to take with you to the beach or any vacation destination this summer!

1. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

The movie hit theaters on June 3 but I always like to read the book before I see the movie. This book is a romantic story about a man with little desire to live and woman who brings life into his world again. I recommend reading this with a box of tissues as it will take you on an emotional roller coaster.

2. The Crown by Kiera Cass

This is the anticipated conclusion to the Selection Series. This series is the perfect combination of "The Hunger Games" and "The Bachelor." It is a journey of love and being royal and all that comes with it. I found this series last summer and very quickly fell in love with not only the characters but the beautiful way Cass tells this story. I have not read this final book yet but I am looking forward to getting my own copy very soon.

3. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling

If you're a fan of Harry Potter, this is already on your radar of books to get your hands on. I myself have already preordered the book since it is not coming out until July. This book is a little different than the other famous books because it is a script of the play being preformed in the U.K. Many fans everywhere are eagerly anticipating this next installment of the beloved Harry Potter franchise.

4. Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson

If you like a fast paced book full of plot twists you won't see coming, pick up a copy of this book. This book is about a group of teenagers who were experimented on and are now part bird and part human. When Angel, the youngest of The Flock gets taken back where it all began, it's up to leader Max and the rest of her flying flock to come to her rescue. Full of action, humor, and a little emotion this book will keep you on your toes. There are nine books in the Maximum Ride series and I highly recommend them all to you.

Although I am not going to the beach or on a vacation at all, I look forward to being able to curl up with these books and falling in love with these characters. What better way to spend your summer than reading?
