Like people said above, liane moriarty, love her books! Especially recommend Big Little Lies, What Alice Forgot, The Husband’s Secret, and Three Wishes.

Elin hilderbrand’s books are light, easy, beach read books. Very cozy. The Winter Street series which is made of 4 books would be great but any book can do.

Kristen Hannah is amazing as well.

I looked through my goodreads for my 5 star books. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is awesome, and I am the Messenger by the same author.

If you haven’t read Harry Potter yet, you can get into it now! There’s a reason it’s one of the top selling book series of all time. The first two books are written in a more childish style but once you get past those, they’re AMAZING.

Thank you so much!
Yep forgot to mention huge Harry Potter fan I have read and re read them over and over
Am going to look up the rest thanks!

I'm just gonna dump a random assortment of books I loved as a teen and adult!

The Wise Man's Fear (Patrick Rothfuss)
The Lies of Locke Lamora (Scott Lynch)
The Time Traveler's Wife
Code Name Verity (Elizabeth Wein)
Tamora Pierce series, all of them!
Good Morning Monster, if you like psychotherapy
The House of the Scorpion (Nancy Farmer- also The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm)
Sammy Keyes mysteries- kids/young adult but very very readable and enjoyable for adults too
Gail Carson Levine books
Mairelon the Magician books (Patricia C Wrede)
A Year Down Yonder and other books by Richard Peck

I can go to the bathroom and other short short excursions. That’s pretty much it. No stairs no standing too long… you can call it very very low activity I guess😏

Feel good and bshaah tova.

I love Rhys Bowen. She has several series as well as standalone. They're mostly clean cozy romance/mysteries.

I also love Katherine Center. She writes romance, but whip-sharp, mostly clean and with a lot of depth.

b'shaa tova!
