I'm not sure how well my suggestions fit.

  • Terry Pratchett, any of the Discworld novels. I really liked Equal Rites. Pratchett does cover serious topics, but in a lighthearted manner.
  • Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. It is a funny re-telling of the stories aber Odin, Loki etc., which were more whack than I expected.

+1 for Norse Mythology

Both of these series put a smile on my face...

I also really enjoyed "All Our Wrong Todays"

I recommend "A Gentleman in Moscow" by Amor Towles!

Seconded, great book with lots of comfy feels. The Count has to be one of the most charming and pleasant characters I've read.
