Another set of books you might want to look into: The “Young Wizards” series by Diane Duane. It’s technically “young adult” fiction; I read a compilation of the first three books a long time ago and enjoyed it. I don’t know how strongly to recommend them because I read them years ago, but it might be something you’d like.
Young adult fiction. That stuff is relaxing. I’ll take a look.You can’t go wrong with wizards. (Even if Nicholas Cage gave it a damn good shot recently. Or at least his co-star did.)
She also has a couple of books set in the same universe as the Young Wizards with cat wizard protagonists. It’s got more technical gobbledygook but it’s the same fluffy goodness underneath. Oh and the focus s less on redeeming the universe over and over again and more about business as usual, assuming that business involves dinosaurs and travel to alternate timelines and stuff :)

Duane is especially good about the universe being full of interesting things and the pleasures of being intelligent.
I’d say that the series started losing narrative drive long about book four or so—too many subplots, perhaps. However the first few are excellent.
And you might want to try out her Door into Fire series, too. (Adult fiction, more magic.)
