I missed the post yesterday because I could not think of a #laidbackbook but when I went looking for a specific book for today's #bookphotochallenge I saw this and realized it is perfect and worth posting a day late about. I read this the same time I read the Anne of Green Gables series and they were a perfect pairing. #booknerdbliss #augustofpages

Beowulf on the Beach | Jack Murnighan

It's in the title - this is a #laidbackbook! Fun to dip in and out of, this is like Cliffs Notes of all the biggest hits in one package. While enjoyably snarky and conversational in tone it does have enough substance to get you through cocktail party chitchat including not just a quick plot synopsis but also The Best Line, What's Sexy, and What to Skip. Beach reading for the exhausted Lit major in all of us who want to read the fun stuff instead😊

I'm not sure what a #laidbackbook is,but this is one of the few audiobooks I listened to while riding in the car and lmao. That's as laid back as I get. #augustofpages #day10 #bookphotochallenge

Anything Doctor Who related is my #laidbackbook read! #augustofbooks @TheSpinecrackersBookClub I love me some DW!!!

bookishbunny I hate to admit that I've never seen an episode of Dr. Who. Not sure why since I know I'd like it. Would you recommend starting from the beginning or with the new series? 8y
Trav I LOVE Doctor Who! There were a group of us discussing our favourite companions and Doctor on here yesterday. Nice to see another fellow Whovian. 8y
Laura317 @bookishbunny I'd start with the new series. Rose is the first episode. Let me know what you think! 8y

Laura317 Why, thank you, @VeteransWife512 ! 😀 8y
Trav @Laura317 😂😂 I was super impressed with Capaldi's acting in 'Heaven Sent'. His acting was flawless. 8y
Laura317 @Trav Yes, me too. I'm glad he will be around awhile longer. 8y
bookishbunny @Laura317 Thank you and I will! I hope to get started this weekend. @VeteransWife512 I will be sure to check him out! 8y
Laura317 Mwahaha! We may have another DW convert! @Trav @VeteransWife512 8y
QuoteQueen Whoo hoo! 8y
Trav @bookishbunny The first few episodes are terrible so keep that in mind when watching. The writing and acting get far better as the series progresses. 8y
bookishbunny @Trav Good to know. I will keep that in mind! 8y

#laidbackbook for the #augustphotochallenge

I remember reading Outlander on the beach during one of my summer vacations in Highschool. With the water in front of me, I was transported to Scotland and the beautiful landscapes that Gabaldon was portraying. It's been a favourite of mine ever since, as you can see with my three different copies. ☺️

#AugustOfPages It doesn't get much more laid back than a pooch, a book, and a hammock, throw in Sarah Addison Allen's sweet southern settings and a story with a whole lot of cakes that mean "welcome" and today's #AugustPhotoChallenge is complete! #LaidBackBook

I don't choose "Here" as a #laidbackbook because most of its pages are wordless, but because its a quick read with a straightforward and profound premise. "Here" is about the ephemeral. Today my "here" has a pink concrete duck, but I remember this same here 20 yrs ago as wilderness. What will be here in 100 years? What was here 1000 years ago? It's laid back because I can chill and think about it. #augustphotochallenge #day10

MrBook Nice! 8y

Lindy Great suggestion. This book is ultra cool. 8y
mahasoor what's going on with that giant pink duck? Sounds like a very interesting book! 8y
Stephanie-Anne ??? @mahasoor the giant pink duck is part of a toddler play area at a water park. ??? It's sitting in a pool of water about 6" deep. 8y
Stephanie-Anne @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled.com @Lindy Yes! This is such a cool book. 8y
mahasoor aww I want a water play park. Get those toddlers out of my way!! 😸 8y
Stephanie-Anne @mahasoor Heck yeah -- there's an octopus slide!🐙 8y
Zelma Definitely an interesting concept. I appreciated it more like an art book than graphic novel, but it was very cool. 8y

My picks for today's #augustphotochallenge are Life is Meals by James and Kay Salter and the New York Times Book Review - By the Book collection. I consider a #laidbackbook to be one I can casually flip through at my leisure. I keep them on my bedside table and pick them up if I want to read something quick before bed. I'm still working my way through both of these books and thoroughly enjoying the ride. 🙂 #augustofpages
