10 cheerful books
Because sometimes you just want a book which makes you happy. (It's not too much to ask.)
There are times when I crave the simple life of a cheerful book. One that will make me feel better about the world. Or one in which I have a blissfully uncomplicated relationship with the lead characters i.e. I just….like them.
And, my goodness, these books are bliss. Fancy a remote paradise island or a dream jaunt to Paris? A rip-roaring adventure or the most exquisite will-they-won’t-they love story? Eccentric casts of characters and heroines to tuck into your hearts? The best take on Austen I’ve read in many a moon? All here.
P.S. Any of these would also make for a brilliant addition to your summer holiday reading. Line ‘em up.
Get the goods! Be happier! Make ME happier! A subscription costs about the same as not-even-an-artisan-coffee and will bring you - I hope - more lasting joy. (Much as I love coffee, its pleasures are fleeting.)
