I'm off work due to illness, loving the chance to get my head stuck into books again, but starting to feel quite lonely and depressed, and really want some ideas of books that will lift my mood. nothing too heavy going though as I'm pretty tired at the moment

currently reading 'so many ways to begin' by jon mcgregor, good, but making me feel quite down, as did 'brightness falls' which i read before that....

thank you!

For an uplifting book, I would recommend the Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd.

I loved What's Left Unsaid by Deborah Stone. Riveting read!
