Top Ten Books When You Need Something Light & Fun (22)

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
I had a lot of trouble with this because most of the books I tend to read deal with issues. Even the books I have chosen are still not as light and fluffy as I feel like this topic might demand? So I've picked 5 books I've read that are (kinda?) light and fluffy and then 5 books I WANT to read that seem light and fluffy to me. You guys can tell me if I'm right, I guess.

TOP FIVE LIGHT & FLUFFY BOOKS I'VE ALREADY READ


1. Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys by Kate Brian
I really, really love this book. It's so cute! Maybe not as light and fluffy as it could be, but I absolutely adore it. I've read it 4-5 times and it makes me all happy inside every time.

2. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares
Okay, also not as light and fluffy as it could be, but the series is a GREAT binge read. Also, I love the friendship stories. Yeah, there are boys, but it's really about the girls. I mean, that's not so relevant ont he light and fluffy front, but still. 

3. The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot
These books were always quick reads for me. It's been a long time since I read this one, and I definitely liked the movie better (the Grandma is super scary in the book and JULIE ANDREWS in the movies so, y'know). But yeah. Fluffy, light, fun.

4. Audrey, Wait by Robin Benway
I haven't read this book in a very long time but I remember it being a super fun romp. I want to re-read it soon since a lot of bloggers I follow have been raving about it recently.

5. Ex-Mas by Kate Brian
Another Kate Brian book. I can't even help myself. I haven't read a ton of Christmas books, but I'm pretty sure - based on the ones I HAVE read - that I love them. A lot.

TOP FIVE LIGHT & FLUFFY BOOKS I WANT TO READ


6. Decked with Holly by Marni Bates
Since I love Christmas books, and because this one sounds SO CUTE, I'm gonna have to put this on my light and fluffy wish list. 

7. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
Is this one a fluffy, light book? I feel like that's the impression I have of it. Either way, I want to read it so I'm putting it on this list. 

8. Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt
It looks so cuuuuute. I want it to be light and fluffy and cute and yeah. Especially since that cover is adorable. But I guess I'd be okay with it being a bit heavier?

9. The Boyfriend App by Katie Sise
The cover of this book is SO CUTE. I'm a little nervous about the way this book's going to turn out, but I'm DEFINITELY going to read it very soon!

10. Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill
The cover just SCREAMS light and fluffy. I also really love the colors. And the graphics. And the everything. Yes to the everything. So I'll take it, please. 

Do you think the first five fit the bill or are they too dramatic? And how about the second five on my TBR list? Are they light and fluffy or have I been mislead? Let me know in the comments below!
