Not OP but I absolutely loved Lager Queen of Minnesota, great suggestion! Will check out your other recs too. You may like House in the Cerulean Sea and 100 Years of Lenni and Margot.


PP here, I loved House in the Cerulean Sea I have 100 Years... downloaded but haven't started it yet, may have to bump it up in the queue!

I like Elly Griffiths a lot but wouldn't call her books funny - I find they can be pretty dark.

OP, if you like early Kinsella, try Hester Browne. Her Little Lady Agency series is a fun read. Meg Cabot also has some good stuff, e.g. the Queen of Babble (full confession: I like her YA stuff too).

Have you ever read Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides? Awesome book.

I just read Roots by Alex Haley. A great family saga over several generations.

Pachinko is a similar multi-generation family story, and the movie’s coming out this year too.

Beach Read or People you meet on Vacation- both by Emily Henry. Funny, sexy and tug at the heart strings.

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

You may also like Elly Griffiths, more of a cozy mystery author than thrillers.

Thrillers: Last Mrs. Parrish, Lucy Foley books, The Push



Last Mrs Parrish made me feel like I couldn't shower enough when it was over, even with the clever ending. I don't recommend.

Oh and try Anne Tyler, Curtis Sittenfeld (probably not Rodham but Prep or American Wife), Anne Patchett. Patchett has a lovely set of essays that helped me break my reading rut.

Oops just read that you don’t like thrillers. I thought you may like those based on The Wife Upstairs.

I have had good luck reading books recommended here. I am in a rut: I do not like sci fi or fantasy or hard core thrillers - psychological or otherwise

I like: funny (early Sophie Kinsella and Jennifer Weiner), John Grisham, Moriarty. Things I like recently: the paper palace, the wife upstairs, we are all adults here, the nightingale, the four winds (mostly) and books about the Housewives. Thank you!!!
