@SoulfullyAButterfly Okay, I'm being really childish here. Most of what I've read so far are Enid Blyton books. I hope it's okay to speak of them in general and not refer to any specific books.
I know on the surface most of these books are just fun adventure tales, but I find that in some (of course not all) books, there are a lot of difficult situations that the children go through, and I can relate to many of the emotions they feel. What I've learnt is that no matter how tough the situation gets, those kids never lose hope, always manage to sneak in at least some fun, and usually find a way out too.
Not directly, but in a way, these stories have impacted my wellbeing by making me laugh really hard with those funny moments. Also, the manner of writing, and the mostly natural settings, bring me some sort of comfort. I know I can't always be hopeful and be able to find the fun in everything I deal with, but it's nice seeing those characters do that and it just is kinda encouraging.
Wow, now having written this down, I feel like I should probably start reading again, I haven't been reading much in the past year or so...
