   All are completed novels, highly recommended by a ten-year bookworm. I followed every single one to completion; they're all incredibly good. There are time-travel stories, sweet romances about life from school to adulthood, stories about a wealthy family through the eyes of a nanny, stories about how a poorly-talented support character fights their way to immortality, lighthearted ancient time-travel stories with domestic intrigue, and period dramas about blended families where you can learn something from them. All are lighthearted and enjoyable to read.
