Some people turn to dystopian pandemic books in times like these, while others want lighthearted reads. Gayle and Nicole’s usual fare tends toward the depressing and heavy, but they do read light books every now and again. Here are some of their favorite lighter reads that are still worthwhile. These are a good bet if you want a distraction that will engage you but not stress you out.
