I need a mindless read please
There's a lot going on in my brain and life at the moment and I just want to read something that's a good time. Not to say it doesn't have any substance, but something I can just read and not have to analyze or keep up with a million characters and world-building and alternate universes and magic systems, etc.
Faves are Seanan McGuire, V.E. Schwab...Shakespeare, Plath, and Poe. I've mostly enjoyed the Christopher Moore books I've read and love Good Omens--but don't care for Gaiman or Pratchett's solo work. I adore The Foxhole Court series. I also quite like Barbara Kingsolver and Alice Hoffman. (I know several of these authors have new series out, but I am afraid of reading them in my current mood/frame of mind.)
Requests: No Stephen King, JK Rowling, John Green, or Holly Black. Please no series, high fantasy, or graphic descriptions of violence/torture/suicide, or animal cruelty or death. Also please no non-fiction or (auto) biographies. ππ»
Thank you in advance! π
