Do you read more "heavy" books or fluffy books?

I go back and forth. If I read something heavy then the next book will be fluff. I find my go to fluff is Nicholas Sparks or stuff like that. Right now I'm reading "When I found you" ...just started so I have no idea how it's going to turn out.

I read anything! I tend to read more historical fiction and mystery/thriller. I like chick-lit every so often.

I am almost exclusively fluffy, but read a more literary book every once in a while as sort of a palate cleanser! I love regency era historical romances best.

I was at the gym the other day, finishing up on a machine and a guy came over and asked me if I was just finishing or just starting. Then he took a big interest in my kindle, which was sitting on the machine, to the point that he was actually close enough to read it. I was so glad it was on a tame page in one of my steamy trashy romances, and the word C*ck was nowhere to be found. I told him that's why I like my Kindle, no one can judge me for what I'm reading!

Fluffy for sure, but I like my fluff a little violent and scary. We'll call it dark side fluff. Psychological thrillers, murder mysteries, etc, but fluff nonetheless. Apparently, I am a slightly disturbed individual. I also will read some chick lit too. I really can't get into the supernatural (vampires, werewolves, etc) thing that is so popular. I am stuck in the Anne Rice Vampire Lestat era...those were great books.

Deep reading seems like so much emotional and mental work that when I try to read something like that I struggle with finishing it. Fluff books just seem to read themselves for me.

Fluff only. I don't need or want any depressing heavy crap. No thank you.

True-crime book addict here, so while it isn't heavy in the philosophical sense, I can't really call it fluff either.
I do like Anita Shreve, Wally Lamb, Chris Bohjalian, Jennifer Weiner, etc. too, so I guess those would be fluffy.

I read a lot of Jonathan Kellerman, Lisa Gardner and Dennis Lehane type books, but have also been reading a lot of non-fiction as well, lately. I seem to be doing a one to one ratio these days.

All fluff with a self-help book thrown in here and there.

Mostly Fluff.  Probably about 95% if I'm being honest.  lol

I read a lot of sci-fi, fantasy and romance.  If I can get two of those combined, even better. 

I love Mercedes Lackey.  Huge fan. 

It's funny...my 15yo DD is more of a literature person.  She just finished reading Les Mis.  She grabbed the unabridged version!  She said, "Damn, he needed an editor.  Good book, though!"  lol

I read fluff I will read contemporary as well as paranormal romance.

I also recommend the Karen Marie Moning books - I loved her Highlander series and the Fever series - I didn't want to read the Fever series because I thought I wouldn't like it and didn't like the idea of the Fae but wow it was an awesome series - she just started another series which is a spin off but I haven't started it yet. She has horrible cliffhangers in her books. In one I so wanted to throw the book across the room and I did scream it was so bad - she left you mid scene right in the middle of a reveal so you - it was a very long wait for the last book.

Other series that I recommend

The Nalini Singh - Psy Changeling books are good
Lynsay Sand - the Argeneau series is good and has a bit of humor in them
Kerrelyn Sparks her vampire series is also good and really funny (didn't like the latest one as much) but the others have been great.
Kresley Cole - Immortals After Dark series - mostly really good - I didn't like one but everyone else seemed to really like that one LOL.
Lora Leigh - Breed series
Keri Arthur - Riley Jenson Guardian books were really good
Larissa Ione - Demonica books - I have only read the first series not the spin off
Kim Harrison - The Hallows
Patricia Briggs - Mercy Thompson
Neill, Chloe - The Chicagoland Vampires
Jeaniene Frost - Love most of her books and the Cat and Bones ones are classics
Richelle Mead - Georgina Kincaid
Gena Showalter - Lord of the Underworld and Atlantis series - Oh I forgot the Alien Huntress books - they were interesting as well.
Shelly Laurenston - Pride series
Vicki Lewis Thompson - Wild About You
Sherrilyn Kenyon - Dark Hunter

Of course there are the Sookie books as well

Rachel Caine The Morganville Vampires - this is young adult but they are still good
Cassandra Clare - The Immortal Instruments - again young adult but good
Richelle Mead - Vampire Academy another young adult series I enjoyed


These should keep you busy for a while - I had to go back through my goodreads to remember some of these and now I want to reread some of them. I am behind on a few of these series and hope to catch up this summer.

Mostly fluff. Lots and lots of cozy mysteries. Some not so cozy mysteries, a fair bit of sci-fi, some general fiction, and some nonfiction. Nothing too heavy. I tend to pick what looks entertaining and interesting. 

I read some fluff, but also a lot of heavy books. I read an embarrassing amount of WW2 stuff. I am fascinated by that time period and all the stories that came from the war. I also read a lot of memoirs from people with crappy childhoods.

My book club teases me that I only like depressing books, so I guess I do lean more to the heavy side.

I love what I read but I don't read fiction unless I am reading to my kids. Fiction would be work for me. Just the way my brain is wired.

Primarily fluff. I do a significant amount of serious reading for work. The last thing I want to do in my spare time is read a book that requires intense concentration. I want the story to just flow over me.
