Non-book post: Humble Sweet Farm bundle
These are games, not books, but I'm posting anyway. Out of all the stuff in this bundle, I've played Equilinox and Stardew Valley.
Equilinox has a bit of a learning curve but is kind of soothing once you get the hang of it and your ecosystems start taking care of themselves. My most traumatic mistake involved putting my first chickens in an environment they weren't suited for. They all started to die and I just kept adding more plants, hoping it would save them. It did not. But when everything is in balance, you can just sit there and watch your pixel animals bounce around, eating stuff and having little pixel babies. Kind of nice.
Stardew Valley is one of my top favorite games ever. I think the bundle price is only a little bit of a deal, but the game is absolutely worth it even at full price. Your character moves from the city to an overgrown little cabin and begins farming, getting to know the townsfolk, etc. It's tough, at first, but better once you level up your skills. I'm currently at 330+ hours of total gameplay time and still love it. It's my comfort game.
