The weather is warming, and it is time to prepare for mornings at the beach and days in the park. Reading outside is a great way to spend a lazy afternoon. Here is my list of three must-haves for outside reading.
Your favorite or current read
Your favorite read is essential for a relaxing day on a beach or in a park. You can read on your phone, tablet, eReader, or even paper/hardback book. Most eReaders are waterproof. I enjoy the Kindle paperwhite which is waterproof and glare-free. Someone that likes eBooks has the luxury of carrying multiple books on one device. If you prefer paper or hardback books our next essential item is a must-have.
A tote or sack bag
Everyone should have a cute tote bag. Warm weather and roomie tote bags go together like sunshine and sunglasses. Totes can be found at every price point in almost every store. If you are feeling creative, you can purchase a plain tote and create your own design. Bookstores are another place to find cute totes with sayings that cater to readers.
Outdoor accessories
Book check, tote check, now we need some additional outside accessories. A blanket or chair is a necessity for outside reading. Readers may also want to bring, umbrellas, snacks, and drinks. Although it is fun to get lost in the pages of a great book, please remember to stay hydrated while in the sun.
Bonus
Outside reading is great when you bring a friend. Grab your best friend, sibling, or co-worker and head outside. Although you will be reading separately it feels wonderful to have company. If you are in a book club try hosting your meeting in a park or on a beautiful beach.
