Hi, 
Sorry to hear things are hard for you at the moment . I’m reading a futuristic Gothic space thriller at the moment , ‘Gideon the Ninth’, which is kinda fun. It’s written by an author from New Zealand called Tamsyn Muir https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42036538

I can also recommend Neil Gaiman’s
‘Stardust’ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16793
and also ‘The Ocean at the End of the Lane’ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15783514
and his take on myths  ‘Norse Mythology’

I’ve oddly found listening to LibriVox readings very relaxing, in particular Little Women. There are a lot to chose from on the site. 

Markus Zusack,  ‘I Am the Messenger’, is good read. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19057

‘The Trials of Morrigan Crow’ by Elizabeth Townsend is for younger readers, I bought the series for my niece but enjoyed reading them myself - a cross between Harry Potter and Enid Blyton with a female protagonist. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34219873

Hope you find something to keep you occupied. 
I swing between reading, knitting, drawing or playing Hay Day on my phone 😊
big hugs xxxx
