Liz - I saw your LO a few months ago about these books (I think for one of the what are you reading challenges?) and picked them up and really enjoyed them. Until now, I couldn't remember whose LO it was.
I thought they were quirky and a little fun. The first one started a little slow, but then I got sucked in - they were fun reads.
I really liked The Help - I couldn't put it down, although I don't know if I'd consider it light reading. It's not a difficult read, but some of the injustices it portrays make you so mad that you just want to get with someone else who has read it to talk about how much you hated some of the characters.
In a completely different vein, I just read 'The Red Pyramid' by Rick Riordan (the author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series). It's for a young adult audience, but it was an easy entertaining read.
