All books are worth reading, obviously. But some books are slightly more “guilty pleasure” than “classic literature.”
The Five Hundred Kingdoms series
Mercedes Lackey is really great at creating romantic fantasy novels that are syrupy sweet. If you want a series of books that are based on fairytales, then look no further than the six titles in the Five Hundred Kingdoms series. There's usually a white horse, a happy ending, and some magic.
The Stephanie Plum series
So far, Janet Evanovich has 23 Stephanie Plum novels in the series. Which means you have plenty of material to step into this Nancy Drew-meets-Dog-the-Bounty-Hunter world.

Tales Of The City series
A handful of post-hippie romantics rent from a cool drag queen in San Fran. It's a lovable soap opera in serial novel form — fortuitous coincidences, sassy dialogue, convenient deaths, and romantic cringe humor. It's the group of lovable post-college friends you've always wanted in San Francisco.
The Princess Bride
Sure, you can watch the amazing movie version, but if the movie is that good, then imagine how awesome the book is. Come on, do it for Inigo.
