Books to get someone to enjoy life again, and pass their time

Hi, I’m 17F and am looking for some books (or anything else really) for my mother to pass her time. She’s 45F and a housewife who has the same monotonous routine everyday and often sits by herself with her thoughts. She had her life occupied with me but I’ll be leaving for college soon and I fear that she’ll lose all her purpose in life. She needs something to pass her time. She’s the best mother, and seeing her like this breaks my heart.

So I thought of reading! I need books which will make her pass her time, make her feel happy, enjoy her life, or think about her mindset.

Any other suggestions are also welcome!

Also looking for a reading club I can persuade her to join with me. That would get her into the habit of reading often, and also pass her time, and help her make friends (she has none as of now)

Thank you so much for your suggestions and advice! It’s highly appreciated!!
