If you're looking for a fun read on the beach or by the fireplace, pick up a Janet Evanovich novel. The numbered ones are the Stephanie Plum series, and they are my favorites. I believe there are 14 of them now, including "Visions of Sugar Plums." Stephanie Plum makes me feel good about my own life! Set in Trenton, NJ, Stephanie Plum is a bumbling bounty hunter surrounded by a wacky cast of characters, some of whom work with her and some of whom she's chasing. She has 2 men in her life, one she loves and two she lusts after. Grandma and Lula are my 2 favorite characters. You will laugh out loud and these books don't take long to read. It's worth reading them just to see how many of Stephanie's cars will get blown up in each book! If you've never read a Stephanie Plum novel and you pick up a novel somewhere in the middle or end of the series, Janet Evanovich does a good job of catching you up on the back story in a paragraph so you're not lost, but start with "One for the Money" and work your way through. They are real page turners, so you might not want to read them before bed!
