Amplify Bookstore's 2023 Reading Challenge - hosted by mmmmmm

A feel-good read
When you're looking for a feel-good read, some of the best genres to turn to are usually romance (of the romcom variety), contemporaries (YA is a good shout here too), or a great social satire (although these are usually a bit more bleak). You can never go wrong with a bit of Talia Hibbert, Jesse Q. Sutanto, or even some Percival Everett (whose books are always about serious topics, but in the most unhinged and hilarious ways).

To find more lighthearted books, you can also search 'humour' on the site!
