Just scrolling through here for some inspiration - Lindsay is your rating system out of four or five stars?

Do you have any recommendations for something super easy to read that's maybe a little bit feel good? I keep ending up reading dystopian sci fi and it's a bit miserable sometimes!

I use the rating system from Goodreads which goes up to 5 points (it was amazing) but I rarely think books are amazing.

The Comfort Food Cafe series by Debbie Johnson is a good one. I'm not very good at making recommendations though!

There is also a series focusing on a doctors surgery and the community by Penny Parks, The Larkford Series. The first one is Out Of Practice.

I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

Wow! I do generally really like Jodi Picoult but I get dubious if there's a second author for some reason. Is it pretty similar to a normal Jodi P?



No other sadness in the world would do

Yes it is similar to Jodi's usual stuff. The co-author was needed because of her background with one of the themes in the book. It read like it was just Jodi writing.

Still reading Label Me but picked up and finished Big Panda and Tiny Dragon - James Norbury and gave it 3 stars (liked it).
