I’ve been reading too many books and articles with such heavy and dark themes. As the year is coming to an end, I want to read books and poems and articles(pls suggest these as well) that are just dripping with warmth and joy.

I’m so with you! I love expat stories for a little escapism. A Year In Province by Peter Mayle is a favorite of mine that I go back to time and again. I’m currently reading My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell which has been so charming – especially if you enjoy little critters. His descriptions are so rich and beautiful.
Mostly commenting to follow along for any recs from this century. lol
If you’re open to very long books, I recommend [The Hands of the Emperor](https://share.google/ID8EUnwDjqkoB35LB) by Victoria Goddard. It’s a beautifully written slice of life book about the personal secretary to the emperor of the world, with a heavy focus on platonic relationships.
