I doubt I have much to offer for fiction, as my tastes are somewhat darker than yours. Though I do like James H. Schmitz and Emma Lathen from your always-readable list.
Light non-fiction always appeals to me:
Tom Standage, "A History of the World in 6 Glasses." Breezy summary of world history as seen through beer, wine, distilled spirits, coffee, tea and Coke. Standage has a number of similar books which I have not read.
Colin Woodard, "American Nations." Proposes a division of 11 cultures in North America and how those cultures shape history and politics.
As far as book weight goes: the AADL Friends store at the main branch has a generous supply of 50-cent mass market paperbacks in mysteries and SF. (I don't know about their YA selection.)
