I am looking for books that bring that joyous, ‘omg I can’t believe I get to fall into this world’ feeling. Like reading Harry Potter or, my personal YA fave no one talks about, The Mediator. I haven’t found any adult fiction which induces this feeling and I would love to find something. I also am okay with non-fiction recommendations, but want to be clear I’m not looking for ‘happy’ or ‘self-help’ books. The only non-fiction I can think of that felt like this is the Diary of a Bookseller books.
I do a lot of what I have termed ‘sad girl reading’, and I really need a pick me up. Please help me.
I want to throw out the fact that I am asexual and the raft of awful, extended smut scenes in every contemporary romance and romantasy rob me of joy, even when I am otherwise enjoying the book. As such, I am going to ask for closed door romance suggestions only…if you must recommend me romance.
