Anyone want to recommend calm soothing books?
I did compile a list recently of calm soothing games where you basically drift around and explore cool visuals.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My favorite calm anything is Enchanted April. It is a book by Elizabeth von Arnie, and a 1990s movie. But it is very calm.

I just checked goodreads to see if anything I read this year qualifies, and nope, I got nothing.

Because books.
I usually go to childhood favorites when I'm looking for a calm read.

I know I am an outlier here, but I found The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires kinda soothing? In a way? I get why others don’t, tho’.
meara, if you’re ok with fluffy-sweet YA paranormal, I recommend the Vampire Kisses series by Ellen Schreiber.

I did enjoy Wizards Guide to Defensive Baking! And Goblin Emperor, though it took a while to get into it the first time I read it. Have not heard of aRed Heir!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I could see why you do, as the climax/ending is very cathartic, but the gender politics just Got To Me. I had to put it down a few times, I was that furious.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Seconding Enchanted April, both book and film.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I tried a sample of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires because that is a really great title, but it seemed strongly not for me. I don't think I got all the way through the sample.
