When you’re off to the beach this summer don’t forget your book (or e-reader). There’s not much quite as relaxing as lounging comfortably with the sun on your sunscreen-slathered shoulders and getting lost in a good book with the waves in the background. So kick back, shake the sand off of your towel, grab a cold drink and check out the Kali Krew’s top beach reads. And by beach reads we literally mean beach (and water) reads.
