- Better Than the Movies (romance) by Lynn Painter,
- Holes (Adventure) by Louis Sachar,
- The Westing Game (murder mystery) by Ellen Raskin,
- A Wrinkle in Time (sci-fi) by Madeleine L'Engle,
- Clap when you land (poetry-prose, contemporary fiction) by Elizabeth Acevedo
- Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods (fantasy, mythology, informative on greek myths, narrated by Percy from PJO) by Rick Riordan
- Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes (fantasy, mythology, informative on greek myths, narrated by Percy from PJO) by Rick Riordan
YA (series)
- The Folk of the Air by Holly Black (Fantasy, i'm gonna be real it wasn't as easy to digest but absolutely thrilling I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH IT'S THE ONLY AMAZING BOOKTOK FANTASY BOOK IVE EVER READ)
- A Good Girl's Guide To Murder series by Holly Jackson (murder mystery)
- Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan (Fantasy, adventure, really powerful themes but is for young audiences so should be ok)

If you're into wine, then all the "Sideways" books by Rex Pickett are great - the fourth one just came out last year.
Ok, the first one is simply great. The second was really not my thing, but the third went back to form. Currently reading the fourth and it's pretty fun. You also could just read the first as stand-alone and you'd still be fine.

Remarkably Bright Creatures is a feel good light read.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society takes place during WWII so there are some heavier parts but ultimately a sweet story of friendship and resilience.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - classic book that is short, reads fast and very funny
