Help Me Get Out of My Rut!

I need a book to read, stat. Something fluffy would be good, maybe YA. I don't read a lot of chicklit, but if there's something I NEED to read, I'd be open to it.

The last book that I read quickly, was the second book in the Selection series.

  • Have you read the Grisha series yet? Not light and fluffy, but you probably won't want to put it down.  The third is not out yet though if that makes a difference.

  • @hoycie - you already got me to read Wonder, and I adored it. Also, I have Hyperbole and a Half on my Amazon wishilist, so I should just go ahead and get it, right?

    @elistar - I've read the first two VA books, thanks to @hoycie, and I took a pause to read some other stuff, but those are definitely quick, fun reads! And I have also read Attachments!
