Do you have light-hearted book recommendations?​

I’ll be taking a few days off in the coming holidays and I plan to finish a book or two. Do you have any recommendations for light, enjoyable reads? I’d love to hear your suggestions!

Hi, I enjoy your posts. You asked for book recommendations - i recently retired and decided to join Once Upon a Book Club, they send you one book a month with 3-4 "gifts" you get to a certain page and there is a sticky note saying "open your gift" which relates to what you are reading (i.e., cold scotland castle, you received a blanket). Two of the books i got were The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst and The Lonely Hours by Shannon Morgan. both good reads, i would recommend joining the book club - it's fun and nice to get surprise gifts, it is a bit costly, around $60 a month but that's what i would have spent on gas going to and from work

Have started the Jim Chee/Joe Leaphorn mysteries by Tony and Anne Hillerman. The names and places are real. Also try the Margaret Coel mysteries. Same thing. Places, names and events are real.

Liz Curtis Higgs- a series set in early highland Scotland. Christian. So good! Go to thriftbooks.

I love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum Series. I listen to them on tape and the reader is wonderful. I usually listen while I drive and I have actually found myself laughing out loud at times. I am usually waiting for the next one to come out. I actually leave some books I bought waiting so I can enjoy the newest one of hers.

Thank you so much for all your suggestions, dear GrayViners @GaryBlake. @bsa1944, @CarolC, @Betty T, @Jpullen, @techgrandma, and @Kris! I enjoyed going through them, and I promise to check them more in detail—really appreciate it!

Also, were you aware of the book club that @Kris is a part of? It sounds interesting!
