Swept Away

I bought this as a present and for myself, mostly because of the water/sand proof novelty. But as soon as I started reading through the selections of short stories, I was mesmerized and lost in the tides of other beach worlds. It was one thing not to worry about getting the book wet, and certainly another to be entranced by the story selection. As all the stories had an ocean feel, you couldn't help but look up from your beach chair and search for that shark in the cove, or the largest dead man that floated into a small ocean-side village. Loved it, and hope to see another selection soon!
