What’s your quilty pleasure?

I was sitting with a group of people at ALA midwinter. Making small talk, one woman asked what are you reading now? Not knowing the people very well, I thought do I tell them what I am really reading (guilty pleasure) or what what I am reading (work related). One woman broke the ice and said that she is a Sookie Stackhouse fan. The series is written by Charlaine Harris. Laughter broke out – and each one of us admitted that we were all reading these books.

Care to share your current guilty pleasure book?
