Light, fun book recs, please? Nothing too heavy or familiar

The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank. Each chapter is a short story that ties in to the other. You’ll laugh, you’ll tear up. It’s just well-written women’s lit.

The Rosie Project! A quirky romantic comedy. Quick but entertaining read.

I like YA or fantasy stuff for this purpose:
Catwoman- Sarah J Maas
Hunted - Meagan Spooner
Warm Bodies
Vampire Academy series

Oldies but goodies - anything by Laurie Colwin

I think the Curtis Sittenfeld books are a good suggestion as well.

Ruth Reichl’s memoirs particularly if you are into food at all, but they are good regardless, as well as Born Round, Frank Bruni’s Memoir

Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

I’ve read Where’d You Go, Bernadette?, and I definitely found that to be a page turner. I’ve also read The Girl’s Guide..., and I remember recommending it to a friend. I don’t remember the pace of it, but it’s a great book.

I looked for the Lululemon title at the library. The had another book by the same author. Something like “Last Night at the Chateau Marmont.” It looks promising.

I looked for a few of the other suggestions, but it turned out to be a really sad library branch (not my normal one). A lot of 20-30 year old books.

Thank you!

All books by Elin Hilderbrand, The Blue Bistro is my favorite but they are all good. Light and entertaining but she is a great writer.

Also, try books by Catherine Ryan Hyde, I loved Take Me With You.

Both authors have lots of books so if you like them you are set for quite awhile with reading material.

If you like fantasy, I really enjoy Naomi Novik- Uprooted, Spinning Silver, Temaire series.

Did you check the library’s online ebooks? I check out hundreds of books and read them on the kindle that way.

I think J. Courtney Sullivan is a great writer. Any of hers would draw you in.

I enjoy books by M.C. Beaton and Fannie Flagg or short stories by James Herriot when I want light, uplifting reading.
