I love these unconventional beach reads! I love a fluffy romance novel but I also love something that I can sink my teeth into and give my undivided attention while I'm lounging at the pool or beach in the summer. I just finished Outline by Rachel Cusk and am also reading Bibliophobia by Sarah Chihaya...which is definitely an unconventional beach read lol

I don’t read enough! Ummm… “I See You’ve Called In Dead” by John Kenney, and I really liked “The Tell” which is also not your average beach read…
