I want to improve my descriptive skills to write better in English because I am into marketing and I feel it’s a very important skill for me. Kindly share any books that are fun to read too. Not too complicated ( I have Ministry of Utmost Happiness that one tried reading three times but didn’t finish because I dont want to read depressing stuff)
TIA!

You might try some of Jenny Colgan’s books:
Little Beach Street Bakery
The Bookshop on the Corner
Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe
are my favorites. I think Jenny has a special way of describing how people and place create an atmosphere, so perhaps that will be helpful, plus they are lighthearted with happy endings.
Pick a Dickens book – *Great Expectations* is my favourite. Lots of descriptions used in a variety of ways throughout his writing alongside a broad vocabulary.
