Beach Reading

I know, why is this lunatic talking about beach reading at this time of year?  Well, I am sure many of you have a spring vacation planned (like me!) and are looking for a good book to read!  Plus, summer is not that far away so you can start planning!

When I read a book on the beach, I like to keep things light and fun - kind of like the beach environment.  I have a whole other list of my 'beach reading requirements' that you might want to check out on one of my previous posts, Beach Reading Tips.

The book I just read definitely qualifies for a beach read - in fact, I should have saved it for my trip!  Oh well!  I just finished reading Seriously... I'm Kidding by Ellen DeGeneres.  The book was laugh out loud funny and if you are a fan of her, (like I am), you will enjoy the typical Ellen humor.

This book does not tell a story but is more of a collection of Ellen's experiences along with observations of all the wacky things people do.  I loved all her crazy little tangents, witty remarks and general silliness.  She bounces all over the place but manages to keep your attention with her humor and charming personality.  I could hear her voice coming through the pages and adored all her hilarious comments.

Ellen is a person who is not afraid to be herself.  That's something we all need to be reminded to do!
Not only do I love Ellen's humor and the fact that she is a Bachelor AND Keith Urban fan, but I also admire her as a person.  She genuinely cares about the world we live in - and she is an animal lover too!

And not only does Ellen love animals,

but animals seem to love her too!

Apparently, Rosie is also a fan!

Now that I finished Seriously...I'm Kidding, I am going to go back and read the rest of Ellen's books.  I think I will also add Bossypants by Tina-Fey to my beach bag.  I have been wanting to read that for awhile.

Have you read any of Ellen's books?

Can you recommend any good books for my beach bag?
