Looking for found family fiction novel. Looking for a generally positive book. Nothing post apocalyptic and one that doesn’t reference recent real events, like Covid for example. Light fantasy/cosy fantasy or mystery totally ok. Romance (any genders) is ok, but not a fan of Bridgerton levels of spice.
For example I loved Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen and To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis. Remarkably Bright Creatures was perfect for me.
I’ve plowed my way through all of Emily Henry’s books and am sad I don’t have more.
I’ve read all of the Nevermore series by Jessica Townsend and can’t wait until the next one comes out.
I do like Thursday Murder Club, eagerly anticipating book 5 at the end of the month.
Middling books are Malibu Raising – not sure if I care to try more by that author, and The Wedding People. Slightly lower on that list was the very secret society of witches.
I liked Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst but was happy I read it before the hype which I find disproportionate to my enjoyment of it. I’m struggling to get into The Enchanted Greenhouse.
I couldn’t stand Ann Aquires books especially the only purple house on the street.
House in the Cerulean Sea was great, was very disappointed by the sequel.
Thanks in advance to get me out of my slump!
