Top Ten Tuesday: Light and Fun

hosted by the broke and the bookish.

When I need something light and fun, I generally turn toward the middle-grade and young adult realistic fiction.  Here are some of my favorites.

1. All American Girl by Meg Cabot - This is one of my go to books for fun reading.  I first read it at the beginning of middle school and haven't stopped since.

2. Avalon by Meg Cabot - Meg Cabot is full of great light and fun reads.  I had half a mind to list all of her novels (at least the one's I've read) on this list.

3. Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo - It's a story about a mouse that wants to go on adventures.  What's better than that?

4. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - This story is hilarious and beautiful.  The characters are incredibly entertaining and the writing will keep you engaged.

5. Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll - The classic light and fun read is right here. Alice and a white rabbit with a waistcoat, what more could you want?

6. Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan - I don't think I've laughed so hard in my life reading a book.

7. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins - Stephanie Perkins makes the lighthearted world go round.

8. The Sister's Grimm series by Michael Buckley - Two girls become fairy tale detectives and solve mysteries in their new town. They're mostly light but completely fun.

9. The Princess Bride by William Goldman - High adventure, true love and lots in between, Goldman has written an abridgment of a nonexistent book.  From page one the humor is already there.

10. Scott Pilgram Precious Little Life by Bryan Lee O'Malley - A graphic novel that screams hilarity.
