Recommend your chick lit or other light reading
I like historical fiction, memoirs, travel/food related stories, mysteries... well you get the idea.
However, Im looking for something light or funny (Im particularly thinking of memoirs) to read right now. I have two heavier books that I just cant get into on my ereader but reading is sort of therapeutic to me. I just finished reading "The art of French kissing" and it was cute.
Any suggestions?

I read it last time I left STBX... It was a good escape even if there were parts that annoyed me.
Im reading a lot of books on grief, divorce, forgiveness which I am actually really enjoying, but I want something simple to read before bed.

Jennifer Weiner, Jennifer Cruise, Lisa See all are easy chick-lit reads.
If you like raunchy comedy then all of Chelsea Handlers books are funny.
Happy Reading!
I second Jennifer Wiener-Good in Bed, Little Earthquakes
Also, I love Emily Giffen books (Something Borrowed, Something Blue, Love the One Your With)
Thanks! Keep 'em coming.
I need to fill up my ebook que at the library
Not all suggestions have to be light, but I was just looking for something in particular for today to read at lunch. Haha
I highly recommend the Hunger Games series. Almost finished with the last book and they're great!
For chick lit, I love Sue Margolis. Her books are hilarious - kind of along the lines of Bridgette Jones' diary humor. All very quick, easy, entertaining reads.
Ohhh one of my favorite topics.
Anything by Emily Giffin or Sophie Kinsella
The First Husband by Laura Dave (I know this sounds cliche for this board but the title is deceiving)
Love Walked In by Maria Dos Santos (sp?)
I forgot about Jen Weiner and Lauren Weisberger. Ive read all these too. Chasing Harry Winston is one of my favorite easy reads
I read Home Front by Kristin Hannah a few weeks ago and LOVED it! Here's what it's about,
In her bestselling novels Kristin Hannah has plumbed the depths of friendship, the loyalty of sisters, and the secrets mothers keep. Now, in her most emotionally powerful story yet, she explores the intimate landscape of a troubled marriage with this provocative and timely portrait of a husband and wife, in love and at war.
All marriages have a breaking point. All families have wounds. All wars have a cost. . . .
Like many couples, Michael and Jolene Zarkades have to face the pressures of everyday life---children, careers, bills, chores---even as their twelve-year marriage is falling apart. Then an unexpected deployment sends Jolene deep into harm?s way and leaves defense attorney Michael at home, unaccustomed to being a single parent to their two girls. As a mother, it agonizes Jolene to leave her family, but as a solider she has always understood the true meaning of duty. In her letters home, she paints a rose-colored version of her life on the front lines, shielding her family from the truth. But war will change Jolene in ways that none of them could have foreseen. When tragedy strikes, Michael must face his darkest fear and fight a battle of his own---for everything that matters to his family.
At once a profoundly honest look at modern marriage and a dramatic exploration of the toll war takes on an ordinary American family, Home Front is a story of love, loss, heroism, honor, and ultimately, hope.

I've totally wanted to read that! I'm going to suggest it for my book club...but I'll read it regardless!
This book was so depressing and I really didnt like it. I just felt so gyped with the ending!~!
Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. There are currently 18 books and the movie inspired by book #1 (One for the Money) is going to be on theatres pretty soon.
ETA: it's super funny, it has mystery (she is a clumsy bounty hunter solving crimes), she is in love with 2 hot guys...
