Looking for a Book with a Laundry List of Requirements
I’m in a funk and need to read something that is lighthearted but not “fluffy”. Nothing wrong with fluff but that’s just not what I’m looking for. I tend to read books on the depressing side (dystopian fiction, historical conflicts and tragedies, etc) and I don’t think that’s good for my mental health right now.
Here are some things I’m looking for/not looking for:
- fiction or nonfiction is fine
- no memoirs
- cool with short story collections or novels
- nothing to do with violence, mental illness, depressing history, etc
- no YA
- no manga or similar
- romance is fine but I’d prefer that it not be the overall plot line (I’m not looking for “spicy” reads lol)
- lighthearted/humorous but not too simplistic
- no self-improvement/inspirational/religious subjects (unless it’s something like “The Year of Living Biblically”)
I know this is a lot to include so I appreciate any suggestions close enough! TIA!
