Looking for clean, well-written fantasy

I love fantasy but lately I've been having trouble finding books that interest me and which I feel are suitable for me to read. I know everyone has different definitions of "clean," but essentially I mean no explicit content or strong language. Romance is okay as long as there's not more than a bit of kissing. It's fine if a book has mature themes as long as there's no explicit content. And I really need books to be well-written—not necessarily worthy of being the next great classic (though that's also nice), but as a baseline, the sentences should flow nicely and the plot and characters should be compelling. I feel that most of the fantasy being written these days is either too spicy or not well-written enough, and I'd really appreciate any recommendations! I'm in my lower 20s, but I'm open to books for any age level from middle-grade to adult.

Some examples of fantasy books I've liked in the past are The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley, Lockwood and Co. by Jonathan Stroud, Wings of Fire by Tui Sutherland, A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin, and His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. I've read and liked Harry Potter and Percy Jackson as well.

I read The Hobbit and I'm currently slogging through LOTR—it interests me in theory but the story drags so I find it hard to get through.

Deeply confused about my bra size. Am I 36A or 32DD or something else?

I'm in my lower 20s and have been wearing size 36A since I was a teen. It seems to fit pretty well. I always wear the band on the tightest setting, and there's a bit of empty space in the top of the cups but that might just be this particular bra (Warner's) or perhaps my particular shape. Overall it feels comfortable and I don't have any problem with the fitting. But... based on my measurements, this size makes no sense! I used the ABTF calculator, and the results surprised me, to say the least, because it said I'm a 32DD! (Actually, I tried it three times since I wasn't sure I was doing it right. The first time it told me 32D, and the second time it told me 32D/32DD. But I think my third measurement was probably the most accurate.) I know that a DD cup doesn't necessarily mean huge (and I am definitely not huge), but it just seems odd that a 36A would fit me well if 32DD is really my size. Would really appreciate any guidance!

Here are my measurements, for reference:
Loose underbust = 31.5"
Snug underbust = 30.5"
Tight underbust = 29.25"
Standing bust = 34.5"
Leaning bust = 36.5"
Lying bust = 35.5"
