I'm looking for any good light chicklit-ish type books for recovery time. I love things that are light, funny and pretty non serious especially to take my mind off things. Taking any and all suggestions! :-)

I enjoy the Janet evanovich Stephanie plum series. One for the money is the first one.

If you're not easily offended the Chelsea Handler books are amazing. Hysterical. But very fresh.

Definitely not easily offended!

Chelsea Handler was on my list (and probablt moving up to the top) and a friend had recently suggested Janet evanovich to me but I haven't read anything by her. I will definitely check her out! Thanks guys!

hunger games books are good. just started the fifty shades of grey books because everyone loves them..i think they are very risque but from what i hear its a great read so im excited .

I plan on reading 50 Shades of Grey while I'm recovering. I wont be able to do it, so I guess I will just have to read about it LOL

If the pain meds don't put you to sleep, 50 Shades will!

ozeedonkee, so u didn't like the book..i've just started so we shall see but your the first i've heard not like it..lol...im sure the movie won't be boring my mom saw that i had the books and asked if i knew what it was about and i have to say ive been surprised so far becasue I had no idea . i can't imagine what is in store...

50 shades of grey was on a maybe list for me but it's one of those books that since everybody's reading it (or has read it) i mine as well check it out!

50 shades was awesome!! Any of Karin Slaughters books are great if you like crime or murder mysteries. The first one is Blindsighted.

I read the 50 shades series while recovering. Have to say that was probably what contributed to me wanting to get things back into action with my husband quicker than I had thought I would post surgery! Sorry, TMI! Terribly written books but titilating nonetheless

Anyway, I like Marian Keyes books for easy reading and funny chick lit.

Lol I think I'm in the small percentage of people who didn't like it - definitely the minority. I like to be different

Agree re Karin Slaughter though. Good books!

Marian Keyes keeps showing up on chick lit lists. She has a lot of books, what's a good one to start with?

Cute romantic comedies by Katie MacAlister's Corset Diaries, Improper English, and Hard Days Knight. I re-read them occasionally I still find myself laughing.

I would start with one of her first, Watermelon or Rachel's holiday. They are dated now perhaps but still really good.
