I am pretty sensitive when it comes to media I watch/read. Watching certain movies that I find even slightly gross or unsettling can ruin my entire day and I will think about it for weeks, so I have to be very careful with what I expose myself to. Same thing happens with books.
So please recommend me some engaging, not romance-dominated (some romance is ok), non sci-fi books! So far I have really enjoyed the Shorten Chronicles series (light easy to read time YA travel adventure) and Sapiens: Brief History of Humankind. I also like non-fiction. I don't like topics of alcoholism, drugs, poverty, war, prostitution, death, violence etc unless it's a brief mention.
I'm also ok with lighter detectives such as Agatha Christie. Currently on my list are A Psalm for the Wild-Built and Remarkably Bright Creatures. I started the Remarkably Bright Creatures but so far it hasn't sucked me in.

The Eyes and The Impossible by Dave Eggers
It’s about a dog living in Golden Gate Park with a huge responsibility
You might like “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune. It’s light and fluffy without being trite. It’s recommended often in this sub for feel-good/cozy reads. I read it but I don’t remember anything remarkable. It was pleasant.
For non-fiction, I think you’d like “Factory Man” by Beth Macy. You’ll learn a lot about how furniture is made, the evolution of the industry, generally, and how globalization has impacted it all. It sounds dry but it’s actually fascinating.
