It’s time for Top 5 Tuesday hosted by Bionic Bookworm and we’re still making our way through the alphabet challenge. Today I’m sharing some favorite light reads for these tough times.

I was talking to a friend about how my book club pick this month has been tough to get into because it’s even heavier than reality right now. If you are also in need of something fluffier, I recommend these five books and their authors.

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins is wanderlust and young love all rolled together. I love her entire series but this one is still my favorite.

Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde was a fun romance set at a convention. Fandom for days and two fun romances. (I had to search by title instead of author to find this one. I was lucky this fit my theme – skim pickings for the letter Q!)

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell is one of my all time favorite books and Rowell is one of my all time favorite authors. Perfect for a book you can really lose yourself in.

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion was really fun and it was a pretty unique premise at the time. Not a lot of great Asperger’s love stories out there and this one is great.

Smile by Raina Teglemeier is a great middle school graphic novel that would be great to read alongside your tweens. My daughter and I both love this series.
