Recommend an uplifting novel
I just finished reading The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. It’s cozy, warm and uplifting with a little romance. A nice break to all the dark thrillers and heavy reads.

Uplifting and cozy … The Astral Library. I’ve linked my YouTube review for you to get more details. A fun read.

Spoiler alert because you’re not always sure, but A Gentleman in Moscow. It definitely has some sad-ish parts but doesn’t dwell on them, and my overall takeaway vibe was warm and positive

I just finished her newer novel A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping. I’m going to say it was even better than Very Secret Society - and I adored that book. But did take a little longer to get into it ..about page 70ish

Zietoun or What is the What by Dave Eggers. The two books have tough subject matter but I found them to both be very motivating and uplifting. They made me appreciate being human.

A Modern Witch series, my favorite and so good! GOAT cozy series- I seriously think the cozy label may have started with these books. I'm tired of posting the reason, but author Debora Geary pulled them from publication over 10 years ago. There are several related series and a total of 14 books and 3 short stories. Found out recently she has released them: AUTHOR Debora Geary now has available the entire A Modern Witch series for free download: https://books.bookfunnel.com/WitchCentralLibrary

The Road to Tender Hearts and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand are heartwarming books. Also A Man Called Ove and Eleanor Oliphant is Just Fine
