Recommendations for some good 'light' reads please

[Jahan]

I'm due to have a baby v soon and need some light reads to load onto my kindle.
I love Alexander McCall Smith and read Into the Darkest Corner recently too. Both are at a level I can cope with at the moment.

I just finished The Poisonwood Bible and although I did enjoy it, it drained me a bit!

I am reading The Hunger Games trilogy at the moment which is very easy to read.
Have you tried anything by Diane Chamberlain? A bit like Jodi Picoult but better.

Not tried anything by D. Chamberlain. Thanks will have a look.

The Inspector Gamache mysteries by Louise Penny are cosy crime, set in French Canada. Not gory, just entertaining.

Adriana Trigiani is pretty light reading. Good when your concentration isn't up to much.

East of the Sun by Julia Gregson is the story of three young women who travel out to India in the days of the Raj .. one to be married, one as her bridesmaid and the other as a chaperone. Very readable.

Thanks for those highlandandco
I've read Adriana Trigiani before and had forgotten how much I'd liked the book.

Jojo moyes is very good

I agree re Jojo Moyes. I am reading her new one 'The Girl you left Behind' (another one of my 'freebies' from the 'GoodReads' website.) It is fab and not at all what I was expecting.

I read 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' recently and loved it! It's quite short and very easy to read. Wanted to read it before the film comes out this week - not sure whether it will live up to the novel, but we'll see!

I noticed yesterday Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle is £2.84, and 3 of her less well known books are £1.19 each for Kindle.

Hilary Boyd, Thursdays in the Park and Scarlett Thomas, Bright Young Things - one of her earlier novels involving contestants in a reality show, are just 20p each.

Miranda Hart has a free book ATM, which is very light and a bit of a giggle and I'm reading Prosperos Island, both of which were recommended by MNers.

The Darkness in the Shadows- M.L Briers, it's very funny and I couldn't put it down. I also liked the Hunger Games.

Miss Pettigrew lives for a day is a good light read. Also Muriel Sparks - girls of slender means, Prime of Miss Jean Brodie or Ballad of Peckham Rye.

I also love Rosamond Lehrman - weather in the streets, invitation to the dance (its prequel).
