What frivolous books do you enjoy reading?

So often discussions (not only on fluther) of what we’re reading devolve into who can present the most pretentious literary front, but really, don’t most of us enjoy reading for entertainment, too?

I’ve had too much on my plate this year, I love the lighter weight fare. There are a couple of fantasy authors I enjoy that don’t require heavy thought. A cozy, formulaic mystery or two that I can figure out whodunnit just before the Big Reveal, and women developing interesting friendships over shared tasks (a quilting series is my current go-to) really allow me to gently escape, and chuckle a bit.

What does it for you?

Not a yes-or-no Q, don’t bother if you only like Pulitzer or National Book Award winners.

Have a little fun, recommend some authors!
