I need books to read. They can be fluffy, I could use fluffy.

I love Fantasy, Sci-fi, also things like Michael Crichton, but also Jane Austen.   Any good suggestions?   
Even Young adult selections - so you can ask teens for their suggestions, too (I have read Artemis Fowl, Inkheart, etc),

I just need some fun stuff!

The series by Shanna Swendsen was cute and fluffy -- the first is Enchanted, Inc. and I think there are 4 in the series.

It's about a girl who moves to NYC from Texas and finds that she is one of the few people who aren't affected my magic and can see magical things, and is hired by a magical company who needs someone with her skill. It's silly, but a quick read and entertaining. There's some romance thrown in as well (but no bodice-ripping)

Weddings in the Family by Dale Fife

if you can find it it's likely in the biography section.. reminds me a bit of Cheaper by the Dozen (also found in biography) written from the point of view of a young girl as her uncles get married.. I think the description I just read said they were Alsations living in Toledo OH.

David Baldacci - normally writes espionage/secret service type books.. he also wrote The Christmas Train and Wish You Well.. I enjoyed both of those.

I'm reading Terri Blackstock's Restoration Series, and they are really good! Easy to read and uplifting. The first book is Last Light. My library has the whole trilogy- hopefully yours does too.

I am really into Susan Wittig Albert lately .
I just finished An Unthymely Death and will begin Lavender Lies .
I took out her China Batles Book of Days from the library and it is so good I am going to order it . It is a book of days by the way
   She also apparently writes a mystery series either with Beatrix Potter as the character or just stories around that era .
   I love the Miss Read books much better than the Mitford books .
I do not like sci fi so can't help there .
   I am liking fluffy right now after reading Gabriel Marquez's books wow the dreams I had yes I think I am into fluffy right now
