I LOVE Grease 2, that was the first of the Grease movies that I saw. That is truly summer and spending time with my bestfriends.

I remembered we pretended to be the girls and boys from Grease when we played in the schoolyard. I even had some notebooks where the name on the book was Paulette instead of my real name LOL.

Summer books I have to say Come Together and Come Again both books by Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Reese. Also Nancy Drew reminds me of summer.

I'm the same way, Michelle. If a book is good, I'll read it anywhere. Read Shadow of the Wind on beach during honeymoon, Handmaid's Tale during family vacation last year, etc. For me, summer reading is about freedom and flexibility rather than a change in content.

**sings**

I’ll be your girl for all seasons, all through the yeeee-eear

Seriously, that movie never gets old. LOL

Personally I’ve not subscribed to the whole “beach read” thing. If I like a book (heavy plot or not) I’ll read it anytime. So for me the feeling of summer as a thematic element clicks more in my mind than the whole beach read = easier/light notion. Having said all that I agree that nothing feels more summerish than being on the water so Huck Finn is a great book to pull into your list.

Huck Finn also got the great setting too!

I found myself perusing this chick lit type of summer romance novel. Ha! Never says never! It’s called Scenic Route.

For me summer is usually the time when I read a lot of mysteries. I’ve got Rebecca, The Moonstone and few others lined up. It’s also the season for arm chair travel books.

Huck Finn always reminds me of summer, too. My first encounter with it was during one summer when I was really little and my mother read it to me, a chapter at a time, everyday at nap time. Not a good choice because instead of putting me to sleep, I always wanted to hear just one more chapter!

Oh yes, Huck Finn is a great answer! Loved that book.
