In just a few days I’ll be lounging poolside with a cocktail in hand and my nose in a book.

We’re heading to Zoetry Parisio de la Bonita for our fifth annual Y2 Yoga retreat and I cannot wait! In preparation for the retreat I usually buy a few new bathing suits and order some new books. I decided to forego new swimwear this year since Victoria’s Secret has discontinued their swim line and I’m at a loss for where to get my swimwear now. 🙁

Reading on vacation is one of my favorite activities so I always pick out new books to devour.

I’ve been in quite a book rut and nothing I’ve read recently has really been all that great so I asked for book recommendations in my Peanut Butter Runner Community Group on Facebook and got a ton of amazing suggestions.

I’ve got these two books being delivered by Amazon Prime tomorrow. The first is The Nightingale by Kristin Hanna. I love Kristin Hannah’s books so I’m excited to jump into this one. The second is Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult. I am not the biggest fan of Jodi Picoult in general but this book received such high praise and great feedback that I decided to give it a try.

Here’s the full list of suggestions. I wanted to share the suggestions with you guys in case you’re looking for recommendations. I know I’ll be making my way through this list throughout the spring and summer!
