Try Joanna Fluke. She has a series of light mysteries -- the main character owns a cookie shop and each book has a bunch of recipes - mostly for cookies. I've tried several and they are great cookies and a fun read.

Also, if you've never read Janet Evanovich her numbered series is funny. It's best to read them in order if you can, the libray probably has them. The first one is "One for the Money". The earlier books have some rough langauge but the later ones, not so much. Sometimes I actually laugh out loud.

I like mysteries. the ones set in things like a resturant or a knitting store or any crafty place. I read a lot . I just like a good story. Janet Evanovich cracks me up. I love her grandmother.
I was going to recommend the Mitford books also. Janet Evanovich is one of my favorites too.

The Irish Country Doctor by Patrick Taylor.
Light easy reading...new author to me as of a month ago when I was "between usual authors" and I'm not disappointed.

I love the Diana Gabaldon Outlander series and the libraries usually have it.

I love Janet Evanovich and her 'Stephanie Plum' series. You read the first one, and you're hooked!

I highly recommend books by www.Steeplehill.com. 'Love Inispired' Heartwarming, Inspirational Romance. Short books by different authors. Great reading! Also comes in large print. 6 books for $12.99 & the next month they send 6 more.

Diana Gabaldon has set of books called the 'Outlander' series. 7,500 pages in several books, but I laughed, I cried, I shut the book in horror. She is a rollicking good writer. Also try Sylvia Wadlington (ebooks).
