\"Tropical<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If your academic year was anywhere near as busy as mine, then I know you’re also imagining warm sands and cool breezes for the perfect relaxing getaway. Of course, for me (and maybe you too!), no vacation is complete without a few books to ensure that I take a few moments of non-screen time each day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, with this in mind, I created a list of Beach Reads<\/a> to encourage the tropical adventurers in all of us to take a moment to relax and enjoy a few books inspired by the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope your beach days are full of fun and plenty of sun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS – don’t forget your sunscreen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
