I need a new reading list

Hi Nancy,
I read after the little angels go to bed. I swear to G-d, today it was Dawn's house of pain. (Meaning I relive the pain of childbirth anew every day.) I feel like I live in that Bill Cosby video where the wife yells at the ceiling "don't make me come up there". On the bright side, I can occasionaly go to the bathroom alone once in a while.
I have always been such a book snob, but I'm considering trying a bodice ripper of two just for the sheer escapism. What do you think?

I have to agree with Stacy on Janet Evanovich's books. They have you laughing out loud!! Start with the first one and you'll be hooked!

Hi Dawn,
I also love the Janet Evanovich series, another very funny, very lighthearted series is by Marian Keyes, she is an Irish author, her books for the most part take place in either Dublin or London, they follow a family full of grown daughters. They are very VERY funny. Books are called: Watermelon, Sushi for Beginners, Angels, Last Chance Saloon, Rachel's Holiday and Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married. Another along the same lines is Making Minty Mallone by Isabelle Wolf, that is laugh out loud funny.
These books are lighthearted without actually being bodice rippers, I am from a family of female book snobs and we all LOVE these books!
Happy reading!

Dawn, I dont know if you have young kids, but if you do (around k-3rd)
try reading some of the Junie B. Jones books with them. They are really very cute, and funny--even my 5th grade son got a good laugh from them--of course, I had to read them outloud to him, not like he would pick one up on his own!!
I also Love the Janet Evanovich series, they are just alot of fun.
