Hi there, I was wondering: do you have a "feel-good" book? A book you read when you feel down, a book which always make you smile? A book that gives you hope? Thanks for answering and I hope you have a good turnover of the year! And many many thanks for the books you gave us readers, they brighten the landscape :) Cheers, Edith

Oddly, I was thinking about this earlier today, when contemplating my bookshelves and their remaining space. (I currently have space on my shelves due to a recent drastic culling.) The answer to this question seems pretty much identical with a list of my keepers, which tend to run by author. In no particular order, Georgette Heyer, Jennifer Crusie, Megan Whalen Turner, Terry Pratchett, Ben Aaronovitch, the triple-headed Jayne Anne Krentz (she has two other names she writes under.)
It's a rare and happy event when a new writer is added to that stable. I've recently become a fan of science writer Nick Lane, although his are more "feel-smart" books than "feel-good" books.

I just did my annual rerad of Komarr/ACC and wanted to thank you for writing. I've gotten a bunch of friends into your work and there's almost always a Vorkosigan or Pen/Des readthrough happening in my Discord server's liveblog channel. You've enriched all our lives immeasurably; thank you again. Here is a question mark to satisfy Goodreads?
