Today has been the worst day. Please recommend me a book that is funny and light hearted. I have just looked in my to read pile and they are all heavy psychological thrillers. Thanks!

The ‘44 Scotland Street’ series by Alexander McCall Smith. If you like the first book you will enjoy the others and have about 10 more to read.

A Year in Provence... yes, it's old but if you haven't read it, it is so funny. I was the nutter giggling on the train (for several hours).

Thanks! I'm off to Waterstones today and will take a look at these.

Standard Deviation by Katherine Heiny. Funny, wise and shrewd. But especially funny.

Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

I second The Tent, The bucket & me.

The long way to a small angry planet by Becky Chambers is my favourite recent read.
