Flipping 50 Community Book Recommendations

Recently I asked (and you answered) for a book recommendation. The request was for nightstand-worthy good, not great, books that are >>fiction<< (which is where I made a typo in the download.. so correct that asap as you download!), light, recreational reading. The list below is the result of your Facebook and Instagram contributions. I have only trusted contributors submitted what was asked for, in case something here does not fit, I haven’t taken the time to “qualify” them.
