What is your "guilty pleasure" when it comes to books?

Mine, for sure, is Paulo Coelho.
It is called the "coca cola" of books, in the sense that its topics are superficial but are advertised as self-help. :lol2:

“Domestic Decay” by Anya Merchant. It's an erotic novel with great characters and story. What makes it a guilty pleasure is that this author writes books with borderline incest elements. Luckily this book is one of the less extreme ones. I still really enjoyed it.

It feels a little silly but I love The Vampire Diaries books.

I enjoy an unbelievable romantic novel from time to time. One that is definitely not possible but still fun to read!

I love to indulge in classic romance novels as a guilty pleasure. despite being formulaic or predictable, losing yourself in an enduring love tale may be reassuring and fun. It resembles a comfortable hideaway from life's difficulties.

Rom-com type books, the fluffiest and most predictable low stress type. I have to read one after any fantasy type or thriller or more intense book. They just make me happy and relax my brain

The girl who knew da vinci by belle ami. This book is my favorite romantic novel. The detailed description of lovemaking makes it my guilty pleasure
