robin04 8 Posted October 27, 2012 I'm looking for any good light chicklit-ish type books for recovery time. I love things that are light, funny and pretty non serious especially to take my mind off things. Taking any and all suggestions! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcwestfam 123 Posted October 27, 2012 I enjoy the Janet evanovich Stephanie plum series. One for the money is the first one. 1 robin04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LessofKelly 62 Posted October 27, 2012 If you're not easily offended the Chelsea Handler books are amazing. Hysterical. But very fresh. 1 robin04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robin04 8 Posted October 27, 2012 Definitely not easily offended! Chelsea Handler was on my list (and probablt moving up to the top) and a friend had recently suggested Janet evanovich to me but I haven't read anything by her. I will definitely check her out! Thanks guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NIKIMAC 19 Posted October 27, 2012 I plan on reading 50 Shades of Grey while I'm recovering. I wont be able to do it, so I guess I will just have to read about it LOL 2 Red597 and robin04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robin04 8 Posted October 27, 2012 50 shades of grey was on a maybe list for me but it's one of those books that since everybody's reading it (or has read it) i mine as well check it out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuNMooNStaRS816 423 Posted October 27, 2012 50 shades was awesome!! Any of Karin Slaughters books are great if you like crime or murder mysteries. The first one is Blindsighted. 1 robin04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouiseC 1,031 Posted October 27, 2012 I read the 50 shades series while recovering. Have to say that was probably what contributed to me wanting to get things back into action with my husband quicker than I had thought I would post surgery! Sorry, TMI! Terribly written books but titilating nonetheless Anyway, I like Marian Keyes books for easy reading and funny chick lit. 1 robin04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozeedonkee 145 Posted October 28, 2012 Lol I think I'm in the small percentage of people who didn't like it - definitely the minority. I like to be different Agree re Karin Slaughter though. Good books! 1 robin04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She has a lot of books, what's a good one to start with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woobs 16 Posted October 29, 2012 Cute romantic comedies by Katie MacAlister's Corset Diaries, Improper English, and Hard Days Knight. I re-read them occasionally I still find myself laughing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She has a lot of books' date=' what's a good one to start with?[/quote'] I would start with one of her first, Watermelon or Rachel's holiday. They are dated now perhaps but still really good.
