I need book recs

[ElizabethBennet]

Preferably mindless, quick reads. :-)

The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan. It's a loosely veiled novel about Prince William and Catherine and it was fantastic!

[McGavin]

I like Marian Keyes and Jennifer Weiner for light reads.

[wowhead]

I just finished Shattered Dreams by Irene Spencer. Good book.

[jinkies]

I'm reading Royal We right now, based on recs here. It is fun and light.

Just finished The Boston Girl before that-- would also recommend.

Honolulu and Moloka'i by Alan Brennert


Monique and the Mango Rains by Kris Holloway

I'm enjoying Harlan Coben's books right now. They're pretty suspenseful with twists I haven't seen coming.

[spedrunner]

what genre do you like?

Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich
Mindless chick reading

[lilibet]

I've heard a ton of good things about The Royal We. If you like YA I think Emory Lord is really good - not particularly heavy but good plot and fun, quick read. Jen Lancaster and Stacey Balis are good too.

[spedrunner]

The Best of Me (Nicholas Sparks)

The Art of Racing in the Rain (Garth Stein)

Me Before You (Jojo Moyes)

We Are Called To rise

just a few of the ones I liked on my goodreads feed

[sapphireblue]

For lighter books, I recently read and really enjoyed:

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

I also agree with the PP who recommended Marian Keyes (I love her books) and Jennifer Weiner.

I've been reading Liane Moriarty books the last month or so. They are quick and funny, even when dealing with some heavier topics.

i've been loving rainbow rowell lately. eleanor & park is getting the most buzz, but i've read several and they've all been entertaining.

She lives in my city and used to write a newspaper column..I didn't even know she had published books until reading about it here. I should read them.

OP, I like Liane Moriarty books for quick reads.

Thanks guys, I'm downloading The Royal We and am bookmarking the thread for future reference.

I'm reading Bettyville right now and it's adorable and an easy read.

[open24hours]

I like Sophie Kinsella for light reading.

I LOVE Marian Keyes and I feel like no one has ever heard of her. lol Anybody Out There made me cry.

I'm reading Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. It's very light. I also read What Alice Forgot by her- also a fun, light read. I also really liked Wife 22 for something light.

[dianecourt]

Great titles for what you are looking for here! Elin Hilderbrand has an envious life! A former fellow at the Iowa Writer's Workshop who writes and lives on Nantucket.

Marian Keyes is my favorite. I think she is hilarious.
