Just started The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah. I find her easy to read.

I see a ton of stuff on Facebook. Peppermintpurple has great patterns (I think the one on the left is hers) and I love xxInfinityStitchesxx. She has free patterns in her FB group. Both are in Etsy and Peppermintpurple has her own website as well. I like The Steady Thread too.

I learned embroidery as a kid and then taught myself counted cross stitch as an adult. A couple of years ago I discovered blackwork and it’s my current obsession. Very relaxing and with some patterns it can be almost mindless, which I find soothing.
