Me Too!"},"content":{"rendered":"

W<\/span>hen it\u2019s hot out, and you have to pack a few books for the beach or poolside or let\u2019s say you\u2019re trying to squeeze a few into that already full suitcase; paperbacks may be the answer.<\/p>\n

Which is why fellow readers, in my eternal search for good books, this week my focus is paperbacks.<\/p>\n

What I love about paperbacks, is they have the same great story as their bigger hardback cousins but are much easier to handle when\u00a0you’re not sitting at home\u00a0in\u00a0your favorite comfy chair.<\/p>\n

Now, if you\u2019re deeply rooted to hardcover books, please know, I\u2019m not asking you to give up your love affair with them forever.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Rather, in the summer, when you\u2019re traveling or casually going someplace where a book may come in handy \u2013 the smaller version may work. And let\u2019s face it- everyone and everything is constantly clamoring for your money and paperbacks are more affordable.<\/p>\n

I read a lot of library books. I love them for at home, but mostly, they are big and not meant for reading on the go. And ultimately I\u2019m not so patient when I\u2019m number 399 in the book queue; waiting and waiting to get the book so I can read it. I live in NYC- I\u2019m not exaggerating- if a book is popular you wait forever.<\/p>\n

This means, I buy a lot of books too. And as it turns out, the lighter paperbacks I buy are fantastic\u00a0for traveling \u2013 they\u2019re perfect for a short trip to the park or a major out of the country experience.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s more \u2013 one of the side effects of the less expensive version is you may be more inclined to pass it along to friends and share it. I don\u2019t save paperbacks, especially if it\u2019s a captivating read that had me up until the wee hours of the night reading.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I say this with the best possible intentions, with love- I want someone else to forgo sleep too. So I give my paperback books away, with the simple request that my friend, when finished reading it, do the same. Trust me; this habit stands the test of time. Forever goes by and I\u2019m still getting big hugs as the book travels from person to person.<\/p>\n

For me, the discovery phase of reading, that is, finding that next read, can be\u00a0time-consuming. If you\u2019re like me, it\u2019s annoying when your TBR list dwindles. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve pulled together some fabulous books- all paperback of course!<\/p>\n

So, there you have it \u2013 some fantastic paperback books to sink into as you soak up the summer rays or travel the world.<\/p>\n
