Favourite “Feel-Good” Books/ Series

Hello lovelies!

I hope you are all well and safe. In times like these, I have never been more grateful for books and the escapism they offer. I thought I would share my “feel-good books”, that is to say, books that bring me comfort and warmth. Hope you will enjoy this list!

The Book of Ivy series

Why you should read it: This is probably my favourite duology ever. The plot is insanely well-thought and the main characters have insane chemistry. I love the writing style and all the little details that make this duology as great as it is. Perfect for escapism.

The Selection series

This is a very known and beloved series in the book community; rightfully so. It can be described as The Bachelor, meets dystopia, meets rebellion meets The Hunger Games? Does that make sense?

Isla and the happily after

This is part of a series but it can be read as a standalone. This book features my favourite first chapter of a book ever. This is a cute contemporary read and at some point the characters visit a city and I liked their journey so much that I went on holiday there. It is that good.

Fangirl

If your freshman year of college was less than idyllic then this is for you. Ut debunks certain myths (in a cool way), features a girl writing Harry Potter fan fiction (You can read the book she supposedly writes, it’s called (Carry On),and simultaneously tackles subjects such as abandonment and sisterly jealousy. Once again, in a cool way. AND it features a great love story of course. I need a Levi in my life.

Since You’ve Been Gone

If you miss summer, like hunts and coming of age story this is for you. I always say Morgan Matson is the queen of Summer Contemporary, because she is. Simple as that.

Six of Crows duology

I am a huge fan of heists. All the thinking and preparation that went into this story is amazing. It also features a badass crew called The Dregs and you will love every character as much as the next; especially the mastermind behind it all: Kazans Brekker.

Geekerella

I love fairytale retellings. This is a take on Cinderella with a twist- It features cosplay, geeks, a magic pumpkin and a charming prince (kind of). This was so heartwarming and cute. The characters use special terms of endearment that make my heart melt. –

A Court of Thorns and Roses series

This is one of the best book series that I have ever read. The plot is out-of- this-world amazing, and the characters feel so real, that you sometimes forget that they do not exist; in this reality at least. it’s one of these series that stays with you long after you’ve finished it.

Why you should read it: It’s a very cute series, very easy and quick to read. The characters are lovable, the plot is strong and well-written and it is a story about firsts, love, betrayal, sisterhood and family. I highly recommend. (Watch the movies if you can; if you haven’t already!)
