Recommendations for some easy to read 'feel good' fiction books? (lemm.ee)

I'm finishing the Stormlight Archive series right now and I think I need something with a bit less of the murder / war / violence aspect that many fantasy books have.

Does anyone know some (not necessarily fantasy) fiction books that are less 'depressing' and are easy to read?

Another person chiming in to recommend anything by Becky Chambers! She is my favorite author of all time and her books are a warm light in what can be a shaky world we live in. The Monk and Robot novellas are a great place to start for a more philosophical and contemplative experience, but Wayfarers is what I read through first and they are all excellent. More of a universe building experience even though each story follows different characters (for the most part.)
