” A Man Called Ove “ by Fredrick Backman.  It’s heart warming.

Dumplin by Julie Murphy

Bare Bones by Bobby Bones

I Must Say by Martin Short

 

These are 3 books that I really enjoyed  they made me feel good.

 

I read a lot of young adult fiction & I like that. Great stories, but not as intense as adult fiction. Not as much violence or sex (though it is a bit surprising to me, how much sex there is in some of the young adult novels-but not as graphic).

Re: book request

[ Edited ]

I've just read 12 books by Scott Pratt.  He is self published and on Amazon.  If you happen to have Kindle Unlimited, you can read his books for free.

 

I liked all of them.  The Joe Dillard , 9 book series is one and there is a 3 book series with the main character is Darren Street.   There are more, I'm just taking a short break and reading some authors and then I'll go back.  

 

both of these main characters are lawyers but I don't know if all of his books are in the legal arena.

 

They are page turners and easy reads.
