    I don’t have anything at the moment, but just finished Legends and Lattes which was cute and cozy reading. I kind of need low brainpower books right now. Maybe some trashy romance novels or grocery store mysteries. Any suggestions for the quintessential dumb read?

      Light-ish romances I’ve read semi-recently: Strange Love by Ann Anguire (fun and surprisingly engaging sci fi alien romance), The Elf Tangent (fantasy adventure).

      Not a romance but low brain power required: Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson (young adult fantasy adventure, power of friendship).

      Lightning fast read, frequently gets emotional + medium brain power required: Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells.

      And I personally tend to go for either fanfiction or progression fantasy/litrpg when I want something easy to read. The Wandering Inn was my gateway drug to the former.
