Top Ten Tuesday: When You Need Something Light & Fun

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

When I saw the topic, I thought that this would be easy-peasy. Contemporaries are what I go to for great light and fun reads and these are the only books that I did read before my blogging days. Who doesn't love a fun and light read? Well, I felt like I had memory loss because I had such a hard time remembering my beloved fun and light books with no dark or sad aspects to it. I feel like I'm missing some major ones but here is my list:

1. 52 Reasons to Hate My Father by Jessica Brody

Spoiled, rich girl has to take on a new grunt-work job every week for the whole year with a hot teen supervisor? Before I even read this hilarious novel, I knew it would be amazing. It was. 

2. Secrets of My Hollywood Life by Jen Calonita

I have always been interested in the workings of Hollywood so I love everything Jen gives us in these books. The MC's "problems" might be repetitive in each book (like Mia in Princess Diaries), but I still love her anyways.

3. Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

I would consider The Princess Diaries to be a major fluff series. She whines, is dramatic like any teen girl, panics, loves, cares, and has her really funny moments. Although, I should have said anything by Meg Cabot because all of her series that I have read are fantastic. 

4. Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway

I also loved her other book, The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May, and June, which I finally got my little sister to read! Robin Benway has a knack for making you laugh out loud. I will be reading her books this summer for the ultimate relaxation time.

5. Anything by Ally Carter

I LOVE ALLY CARTER.

6. Anything by Janette Rallison

...and Janette Rallison too. I love her, Ally Carter, and their amazing books. Rallison has fluff and friendships and family and romance and fairy tale things going on. Love. Her.

7. Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt

This was my first ever physical ARC that I received from a publisher and it did not disappoint! Boy drama, no technology, and great secondary characters result into fun. 

8. Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen

Sarah Dessen has some serious-ish tones sometimes with broken families and all that, but I think Along for the Ride is good because it involves a beach town and a perky stepmother's shop and late night adventures with a mysterious boy. 

9. Anything by Robin Jones Gunn

Of course, I have to warn you guys that this is a Christian author so this author might not be for some of you. However, I love Ms. Gunn and all her series. Her character Todd was one of the first fictional boys that made me swoon when I got into reading in the middle grade (ish. I was young, that's all I know). I even like her adult books!

10. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine

I always loved the movie (Anne Hathaway is my girl!), but when I read the book, I was shocked at how different it was...and how amazing it really was. If you do or don't like the movie, I don't care, read the book. Very light and fun and way better than the movie.
