Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.Each week we will post a new Top Ten list complete with one of our bloggers’ answers. Everyone is welcome to join. If you can’t come up with ten, don’t worry about it—post as many as you can!
My definition of Light and Fun may not be yours. These are the books that I've read since beginning the blog that I thoroughly enjoy and don't feel drained afterward.
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams -- Hilarious! And light and funny! This is a constant reread.
- Any Historical Romance -- After reading a deep, through provoking, emotion wracking book, I almost always grab a fluffy romance. They're predictable. They have happy endings. I love taking the romance journey.
- Graphic Novels like Scott Pilgrim -- Not all graphic novels are alike. I would not put The Boys or even Fables in this category. Scott Pilgrim is just a delight. Go read it!
- Mammoth Anthologies -- Short stories are always a great way to pick something fun. I often use these anthologies to jump reading during a slump.
- Cozy Mysteries -- I don't read these very often (too predictable), but they can be great easy, fun reads.
- Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger -- I sped through this series laughing and crying, but came away with a light heart afterward.
- Novels of Jane Austen -- I consider Austen to be light and fun. Maybe it's because I reread these all the time. Maybe it's because her novels end happy. Maybe it's because I love her quips throughout. Whatever the reason, these are always on my list.
- Novels of Rick Riordan -- I might like reading his books even more than my 10-year-old boys, and that's saying a lot. I love diving into a new adventure.
- YA Fairy Tale Readings -- Usually I can predict the ending of these, but I love the familiarity of the class fairy tales.
- Living with the Dead series by Jesse Petersen -- Zombies and comedy! How can you go wrong?
