If you are looking for some light summer reading while at the beach or perhaps just in a chair on your back deck take a look at these short stories. They were written by seven different authors and celebrate all that there is about living on the coast. As an added bonus all of the proceeds for this book will support women in need in Brunswick County North Carolina and Horry County in South Carolina.
About the Book
I really enjoyed reading the short stories in Carolina Tides. Each story was just the right length to sit down and read all in one sitting. The sub-title of the book is A Story a Day for a Week Long Stay. That was a very fitting title, and although I was at home when I read them, I can very well see this as a great book to take on vacation, when you want a bit of reading time, but not too much.
The book covers many topics of coastal living from the wonderful creatures that live on the coast, to romantic walks on the beach, porch-lit evenings in sleepy little fishing villages, the history of North and South Carolina and even some unexpected encounters. Each of the short stories were written by a local author from the Carolina coastline.

Having lived along the Georgia coastline, and having visited places on the South Carolina coast, I am very familiar with the types of scenery no doubt described in the stories of Carolina Tides. I also recognize the names of several of the contributing authors to this book. Carolina Tides sounds like the perfect book to read this summer. Thanks for your recommendation, Mary Beth.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a very easy style, comforting book to read. I love relaxing days at the beach, watching the sun rise or set and listening to the ocean. Even now, in saying it, I feel the comfort of the calm setting.

ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a story a day for a week - what a great way to present a book. It looks so relaxing. I've driven through the Carolinas, stopped on the way to Florida in my younger years. It's truly beautiful. This book sounds wonderful - and what a great gift idea as well, or holiday travel book for those beach days.
