I am traveling today to go take care of an injured family member. I'm realistically not going to be getting much work done from the airport. Looking for gentle book recommendations for the flight.
I am specifically looking for gentle stories where the main character is NOT in a drawn-out psychologically suspenseful situation. Moments of quick action are fine (e.g., Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are scuffling with bad guys!) but anything protracted or cat-and-mouse is not (e.g.,
the Inspector Gamache books with the Arnot case subplot). I like detective stories, police procedurals, and anything medical. Fantasy is okay, sci fi not so much. Published fiction and fan fiction are both great, but if it's fanfic I'd like it to be on the longer side.
