Book Reviews

Beach and Books always seem to go together just like popcorn at the movies or beer and wings at the local pub. Whether you've got a trip beach planned or just hoping for a lazy summer day to curl up with a good book, I've pulled together a list of my favorite book review sites so that you'll have an easier time figuring out what to put in your book bag this summer. Enjoy!


Goodreads. Great site to get recommendations on books to read by people just like you.


Indibound.org. The book portal for independent booksellers across the country. Enter your zipcode and get recommendations from local booksellers in your area.


Bookbrowse - Truly a booklover's community. Great review site and hand-picked recommendations for read-alikes (e.g., if you like this book, try this one.)

TimesOnline - London Times Online Arts & Entertainment section has a great book review section. You'll get a great understanding of what books are flying off the shelves in the US and across the ocean.

Dedicating this blog post to Colleen P - the reader of readers always in search of her next great book.
