Please recommend a light and perhaps funny book for book club

[Anonymous]

My small book club was read several heavy books in a row and we need something on the lighter side. It doesn't have to be a comedy. It can be historical fiction, murder mystery, or just something different. Please no romance. And, we've already read Lessons in Chemistry.

Anyone read something lighter lately?

The Britney Spears book.

The Widows of Malabar Hill by Sujata Massey

The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin

The Confession Club by Elizabeth Berg.
It is about a bunch of women who are in a monthly supper club. Over time it evolves into the women confessing things to each other.

An Elderly Lady is up to no Good.

It is about an elderly lady who is up to no good. And no one suspects her. The book is short.

Inheriting Edith.
It is about a woman who is a single mom with a small child. The woman cleans people's homes as a profession. One of her clients dies and leaves the house to her. However, the house also comes with the elderly mom of the client, who has dementia.

The floating Feldmans.
It is about an extended family who all go on a cruise together. Grandparents, adult children and their spouses, and their teenage grandkids.
They are all squabbling and all keeping secrets from each other.

Maybe something by Fannie Flagg? I have enjoyed all of her books.

Remarkably Bright Creatures is much better than it sounds.

I loved that book

Killers of a Certain Age is a lot of fun

Suburban Dicks - also a lot of fun

Nothing To See Here is more literary than any of these - and also a lot of fun

We read this in my book club last year and everyone loved it!

Seconding Nora goes off script and Nothing to see here. Both wonderful.

I love Ghosts by Dolly Alderton but it has some more serious themes.

I also liked mother daughter murder night, and the boys by Katie Hafner a lot.
