Hello,

I’ve been trying to keep my anxiety and negativity in check and have been looking for short novels that lean toward positive feelings. Something like “Star Trek The Next Generation”: inspiring, encouraging; even though there are difficulties we learn, adapt and make mistakes. But at the end we’ll make it and we’ll get out of it better than we got into it. 😅

Possibly sci-fi or scientific, or adventure (eg the Hornblower saga)

(Sorry couldn’t find a better way to describe it 😅)

Thank you for any suggestion!

Will certainly do! I’ve already signed up at my local library: I’m on the waiting list for the first installment of the saga.

Ooh! Which one? I'm now excited on your behalf!

As you and others have suggested I’ve signed up for The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet: https://share.libbyapp.com/title/2245998

Seems a rather popular title: my library has a waitlist of 22 weeks. 😅

I’ve also signed up for Legends and Lattes! That sounds so silly and fun!
