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!

I enjoyed Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldtree. It's about a retired adventuring orc who decides to open a coffee shop instead of murdering people

I’ve signed up for that at my local library. Thank you! It’s the kind of thing that I may be looking for!
