I have done a lot of light reading lately. Reading for enjoyment without needing to put too much thought into the content. I don't really have a recent novel to recommend.
If you can stand young adult novels, this is an extremely well written one. Is called The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, by John Boyne. It has recently been released as a movie, which I have not seen yet. The book is fabulous.

I just finished reading Elijah, the third installment in Jacquelyn Frank's Nightwalker series last night. The series is about different nightwalkers (i.e. demons, vampires, lycanthropes, etc..creatures who walk the night.) Frank has a different take on her demons; they are elegant controlled being who has power over certain elements, like fire, earth, wind, etc.
Elijah is the story between the brave demon warrior and his relationship with the tempestous Sienna, queen of the lycanthropes. Frank's prose can be wordy and sometimes unwieldy, but she can spin a fascinating tale enough to make me read her books. I actually enjoyed the book, and finds the romance between the two characters sweet and poignant.
It is a paranormal romance novel, and it is about 375 pages long.
I just started If You Deceive, the third novel in Kresley Cole McCarrick's trilogy. This one is a historical romance.
