Need a light book after a heavy read? Young adult fiction genre is filled with awesome options for a little refreshing read when your last book left you feeling down.

Was your last book too dark? Feeling the need for something more whimsical and light?
When I've just read a string of books that leave me feeling heavy-hearted and dreary, I turn to palette cleansing books from the YA genre.
That's not to say that YA books don't have depth or sad plot lines, but if you pick just the right ones they can be a refreshing change of pace after a deep WWII novel for example. (Yes, I'm looking at you Beneath a Scarlet Sky.)
I keep a running list of books on my Amazon Wishlist and in my Kindle To Read folder. I snap up the deals as I find them and put them in my queue.
Its a great way to always have something light and refreshing ready to go when I need it!
