Thank you! Rebekah Send a noteboard - 10/10/2011 06:45:10 PM
Hm... Light and happy and charming.

Have you read Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones?

I have indeed.

I'm reading a book now called All Men of Genius by Lev AC Rosen that fits that description. It's steampunk influenced by Twelfth Night and The Importance of Being Earnest. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm most of the way done and I very much doubt it will end badly.

It sounds lovely.

I was completely charmed by The Native Star by M. K. Hobson. It came as a surprise to me since I never would have picked it up based on the description. I'm glad I kept hearing it was good so I ended up trying it since I loved it!

The Cloud Roads by Martha Wells was a light book that I enjoyed reading. It's somewhat black and white but a good story.

For short and fun books, I liked the first two books in the Heroes series by Moira J. Moore. The first book is Resenting the Hero (ignore the horrible cover). I still need to read book 3; it's on the TBR.

And thanks for these suggestions. I'll try to pick them up over the coming months. :)

So I have a couple of ideas. Kallichore - 04/10/2011 06:53:41 PM 1294 Views
I think you've hit the nail on the head, actually. Rebekah - 10/10/2011 06:43:02 PM 845 Views
There is actually a book called that: Reader's Block. But it is not fun and simple. Camilla - 04/10/2011 07:05:14 PM 803 Views

Wilde, Pratchett or something similarly humourous and witty usually helps me at that point. *NM* Stephen - 05/10/2011 06:20:28 PM 363 Views
