Don't knock these titles..they sound ridiculous but I enjoyed the heck out of them..

There's a series of books by Meg Cabot featuring a retired pop singer named Heather Wells who now works in a residence hall at a college. They are "mysteries" but it's fluff and sort of silly. I always cracked up while reading them.

The titles of the series in order:

Size 12 is Not Fat
Size 14 Is Not Fat Either
Big Boned
Size 12 and Ready to Rock
The Bride Wore Size 12

Jennifer Cruise is really light. But well written.

I don't know who those are, but I'm reading Graham Norton's first fiction book, and finding it very light. It's about finding bones in a sleepy Irish village.

It moves along gently, and I feel like it's the book version of meditating.

After you’ve read all Liane Moriarty and Jojo Moyes. Not Nora Roberts (tho the romance genre is fine).
