1. For the classic readers 

What comes to your mind when you think of classic books? Dark? Serious? Heavy literature?

Then this is the time you get introduced to some beautiful light-hearted writing.

Austen is known for her happy ending and warm and beautiful themes.

While this book was aimed at the female readers, its warmth can attract anyone.

Four sisters, each with different personalities, living with their mother and tackling everyday problems, and working for their dream future.

2. For those who live in a fantasy land

Fantasy novels are always associated with wars and losses. But they cater to other emotions too.

A bureaucrat is ordered to visit the island and investigate if those children are dangerous.

While we are looking for happy books, how can we forget the evergreen humor?

4. For those who love the love 

Love stories can be painful and heartbreaking, but not the ones I have skimmed for you.
