Recs if you like This Is Happiness...

the texture of sun-warm sheets, time alone with a book, the lattice of light through the trees in the early evening, the comfort of an ordinary routine, a fleeting exchange, an everyday kindness.

these works of fiction observe, preserve and venerate the beautiful mundane, the small things of life.

recs very much welcome :)

(note: i haven't read all yet)

books set in wales or ireland to get to know my ancestors

books that are like a breath of fresh air or based in nature, or are full of exuberance, sweetness, mischief, long ramblings, and childlike fun

slow-paced and cosy books for anxious-minded people.
