Can I just plug the hotel we stayed at in Palm Springs? A Place in the Sun. Total 50s Kitschy Heaven. The pool area was darling. We had breakfast set out every morning by the pool. And I got to practice my synchronized swimming routines and floating techniques for hours in the water.
On Saturday (in the midst of running wild around the pool) I spotted a girl on one of the lounge chairs with a Kindle. Excuse me, a Kindle DX (a.k.a the bigger Kindle!) Leah was another Coachella-goer. She drove up with a few of her friends from Los Angeles and she was getting in some pool time before heading out to the Empire Polo Field.
Leah was reading a book by the funny gal Chelsea Handler called "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang". The book is pretty funny and is quite similar to Handler's other books, I am told. Leah also read Chelsea Handler's "Are You There, Vodka? It's me, Chelsea." As you can tell, Leah is a big Chelsea Handler fan.
So what made her want to get a Kindle? And a Kindle DX, to boot? "Funny story, this actually belongs to my friend sitting over there. He let me borrow it and I liked it so much that he just let me have it. Either that or I just didn't want to give it back. It was around my birthday so this was kind of like a present." Happy birthday to her!
We ran into each other's rooms and shared a few vacation drinks. Her group also hooked us up with a few cans of Sofia Coppola's champagne in a can. Stay classy, Palm Springs.
What types of books do you like to read by the pool? Do you like to read the heavy stuff while on vacation or do you travel light? Light reading, that is.

I am a big non-fiction reader - some are funny and some are very serious - but I like true crime the most. Non-fiction is all I read when I am by the pool, on the plane or in the hotel.
