Vacation book recs needed!

We leave on Saturday, and I don't have my Kindle loaded yet. I'll read anything, and have read most, if not all, of the usual books recommended here. I need engaging, but light reads for the plane and by the pool.  

Two books I know I'll load up are: Time After Time, by Tamara Ireland Stone, and Into The Still Blue, by Veronica Rossi. Other than that, I'm stuck.

    My IRL book club just finished This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper. It was definitely a quick read. Kind of twisted at times but good. Looking forward to the movie this fall! Jason Bateman plays the MC and he is perfect for it.

    I read the first book in the Modern Witch series, so picking up a couple more is a good idea. 

    I have NOT read Legend, but have heard good things, so I'll pick up that, too!

    I'm just finishing Reality Boy by A.S. King and I sped through it and am loving it! I really enjoy the way she writes, so anything from her would be a rec.

    I second @mrsvedo This is Where I Leave You was one of my favorite books that I read last year!  

    City of Thieves by David Benioff was really good but I don't know if I'd consider it light...

    Sleepwalk with Me and Other Painfully True Stories by Mike Birbiglia was pretty good.

    I don't think Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson got much hype around here but it was really good IMO.

    That's all I've got for right now!

    Oh! Unbreak My Heart by Melissa C. Walker. Fun, light YA.

    These are great suggestions! I haven't heard of or read any of them!

    Kiss of Fire by Rebecca Ethington is free right now on Kindle, and the rest of the series is discounted. I started it last weekend, and I've found it very entertaining, an easy read.
