Two more weeks, two more weeks....woo hoo. I'll have just time enough to read one juicy, without thought, totally trashy novel before my next set of classes....but which one? I haven't read one in so long....so, I'm asking for recommendations! And I know you read a lot of blogs out there buzzing about Harry and while I have nothing against Harry, Like Martha, I need to catch up on Harry and since nursing school starts in the fall, this will not be possible.
Here's the criteria:
Fun characters
No One dies
Mystery and a touch of romance ok but not essential
Can be read on a plane while keeping an 8 and 4 year old quiet
AND absolutely none of my brain synapses must fire while reading the book, they need rest!
Looking forward to hearing any suggestions.....

I really like Plantation a Low country tale by Dorthea Benton Franks. It's been my favorite chic lit read of late. Have you ever read The Other Bolyn girl? that's another great read and a bit more "hip" to be reading something that is recognized by bookclubs around the country as being a worthwhile read. Plantation is a bit more fluff for bookclubs I guess. :)
There is also Angry HOusewives Eating Bon Bons by Lorna L? That makes for mindless reading but with a story that holds your interest.
i've read angry housewives...loved it! and totally cried...someone DID die
Well...ok, even in Plantation there is some crying going on but sometimes a good cry is just what the nurse needs, ok? :)
Janet Evanovich? I just borrowed about five you could have your pick. If you don't know her Stephanie Plum, she's a funny just trying to make ends meet bounty hunter. She makes me giggle, and you can read them in about a day.
I've cracked open my second HP this summer. My office may never get done!
Those are pretty stringent guidelines. Here are some books I read after I broke my foot that I liked: The Last Chinese Chef by Nicole Mones. Lost in Translation by same author. (totally different in every way from the movie) Shoot, I can't remember the titles of anything else -- Oh Notting Hell was sorta funny if you're a bit of an anglophile...The Society of S was ok. Don't read Ghostwalk it will just piss you off. Oh! Wait! The Thirteenth Tale -- it might be just what the nurse ordered! Mystery, no death -- at least not much...no trashy, though. I'm not big on trashy anymore.
I agree with Miss Colleen. Janet Evanovich is a good read and normally only the bad guys die.
lot of people dieing in HP! I am close to finishing the 3 in one summer. I think I read the first 4 in one summer as well. (I would make great OCD.)
