Also anything by Sarah pekanin is great. Plus she lives in DC.

Thanks everyone! I"m going to download Bossy Pants and the Liane Moriaty books. I shouldn't be looking to this so much...but I really am !

Books by Marian Keyes--except "This Charming man." I found that one a bit heavy.

Yes, LOVED those Liane Moriarty books, and Where'd You Go Bernadette was great.

The Husband's Secret
Goldfinch
The new Wally Lamb book..."We Are Water." (I think.) ???

^^ loved it

Just read "The Last Anniversary", Liane Moriarty's second novel - light and fun, I lived it. She wrote "The Husband's Secret" and "What Alice Forgot", also good.

starter for 10 - very funny.

grisham - rainmaker, runaway jury

good reads, though not light-hearted: straight man, bridge of sighs, human stain, she's come undone, first time I knew, secret history, midwives, gold coast, general's daughter.

Really enjoyed "What Alice Forgot," by Liane Moriarity

I really enjoyed Where'd You Go Bernadette.

One of Ken Follet's Century novels.

Was also going to recommend Bossy Pants.

Is it just me by Maranda Hart
Bossy pants by Tina Fey
The All Girls Filing Station by Fannie Flagg

Op -- opps "not something dense"

I'm heading out on a work trip tomorrow and am looking forward to using the plane ride as some needed downtime. I am looking for something light hearted and fun. Nothing something dense (i just finished The book Thief, while not necessarily dense it was definitely not light hearted)

TIA
