Reader Question – Recommendations needed for your favorite lighthearted, humorous books…

By 9 Comments

Connie is needing and Uber-angst BREAK and looking for lighthearted reading fun. I have lists for her (and I’ll list them below), but what’s the latest and greatest comedy romance of your heart?

She asks:

After reading books like Verity, Heartbreak Warfare, The Fish Tales Series, etc, a bit of lightness and humor is needed.

Am I recalling correctly that you had a list or blog posting for just that type of book? Where can I find that?

Thanks so much.  LOVE YOUR BLOG – all books I read come from your recommendation read more

Idol (VIP Book 1)
This one started off as the ultimate rock star fantasy loaded in steam and SWEET! Because… you just KNOW (in real life!) that actually “meeting” your favorite rock star is a far-fetched fantasy.
