You can listen to Episode 512 from last season for some other ideas.

Episode 602: Beach Reads
Reading with Libraries podcast
So, what is a beach read anyway? A beach read is anything that is fun, anything that you are enjoying, anything that you would throw into a bag to take to the beach with you. It might be something that comes out in the summer, or just something that makes you think about summer. It can be goofy fiction, it can be scary horror, it can be a book analyzing the mitochondria of algae. It only matters that it is something that you want to read, and something you have been looking forward to reading.

This week Leigh Lenzmeier shares Walking Point: A Vietnam Memoir, by
"Bob Kunkel grew up in a large, Catholic family on a dairy farm in central Minnesota. Although he was older than some draftees, at 22, he was still young and relatively innocent. But not for long.
Kunkel recounts his experiences with so much detail that the reader can feel and smell the steamy jungle. He brings you right along with him. His story is much more than a collection of details, however. His military experience was largely mundane routine, spiced with dramatic and dangerous moments and anecdotal incidents, recounted with a dry sense of humor. Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster of a read."
