Having a Rough Time + an Upcoming Surgery = Need some Fun/Bright Recommendations

I'm a 33 year old avid reader, going through a hell of a time. I broke my knee cap and tore some ligaments over a month ago and am having surgery next month to repair it.

This injury has really dampened my spirits and dampened my New Year's Resolution which was to read 100 Years of Solitude, Stoner, and Crime and Punishment.

I finished Garcia Marquez, and I'm halfway through Williams' but i don't think I'm in the head space for Russian Lit right now.

What I'm looking for is some recommendations on the sunnier side of the street. A nice light breeze instead of the pulverizing punch of the bruisers I normally reach for.

I frequently read/reread Cormac McCarthy, Otessa Moshfegh, and Harry Crews. 100 Anos was a masterpiece but it was a slog. Stoner is brilliant but hitting too close to home as an unlucky man story, lol, NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!

Just looking to stock up on books before I'm back on crutches. Maybe if anybody can recommend me book like Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
