Booking Through Thursday: Recent Fluff


This week's BTT question is . . .

What's the lightest, most 'fluff' book you've read recently?

Although I prefer to read books with more serious content, I have read some lighter fiction recently. A few months ago, I read BEACH TRIP by Cathy Holton and THE FIXER UPPER by Mary Kay Andrews. Although I enjoyed both books and they did have very good storylines, I still consider than lighter fiction, although I hesitate to call them 'fluff'. Actually, one of the books I'm reading now, DIAL EMMY FOR MURDER by Eileen Davidson is definitely a 'fluff' mystery. Ms. Davidson, as some of you may know, is a long time actress on the daytime soap, The Young and the Restless, which I've watched for years. Since I'm a fan of the show, I was happy to accept her book for review when asked by AuthorsOnTheWeb. That said, it isn't what I typically read and maybe that's why I'm kind of slow getting through it.

  4. I cannot stand fluff reads. Even just for fun. When I try to read one I actually hear my brain making sucking sounds like it is sucking the life right out of me.

  7. Fluff to me is something that I don’t have to pause and scribble notes for. So that includes a light travelogue (not not much of historical note), chick lit, and comfort read. In my answer, I picked The Jane Austen Book Club because it was a quick read and comforting. Some readers might find a fluff read being compromising in its writing, but not necessarily. Fluff reads can be great for a drab, gloomy afternoon on a weekend.
