I have been reading a lot of fantasy lately - been diving through Robin McKinely's fairy tale re-tellings because of reasons lol. Most of them are centered on relatively small towns/villages until the heavy duty magic sets in. "Rose Daughter" "Beauty: a Retelling of Beauty and the Beast" and "Spindle's End" tend to by my faves for her.
The other author I've been re-reading lately is Betty Neels. They're short little completely cookie cutter romances, usually set in the UK or Europe with either a nurse/secretary/governess falling for a rich doctor/investor/lawyer type. Like I said - totally cookie cutter and type casting (apparently Betty actually was a nurse who ended up marrying some rich doctor/investor/lawyer who wanted to take care of her and let her write forever lol). But they're quick reads and just totally sweet and always leave me smiling like a loon. She also has like... several hundred books or something ridiculous I think lol.
