Anne of Green Gables is magic, and I recommend Anne with an E. When I got over the fact that it doesn't follow the books as I would like it was amazing.


Rereading Harry Potter right now works for me, and maybe I will pop into North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. That one always brings out the best in me. Happy reading!

[SimplyBeautiful]

My comfort read is anything by Jane Austen. I also believe we can gain great comfort from the stories of other’s uncertainties because we realize that there can be life after the horrific turmoil. For the in between time can be truly beautiful; that space before the next upheaval.

Just came to this video for a few more recommendations! Thanks so much for recommending Georgette Heyer, I didn't know her or, never paid attention to her books and now I'm in love, they have been keeping me sane during these times!! Frederica is so far my favourite, trying to not read all of her books in a row so I can savour them!

[warmsmellofbooks]

Harry Potter is my anytime comfort read . All the other books can feel heavy sometimes . But reading Harry Potter is always like being home .

[michaelmcgee]

I’ve never thought of books as comfort reads. Maybe I should.

[ketziajimenez]

I can’t recommend Anne with an E enough!! I’m currently reading the books and I’m in love with them!! Love your videos so much!! ❤️

[brielambley]

My favourite Georgettet Heyers are The Reluctant Widow - such a great beginning! And also These old Shades - ignore the strange title the story is great. My favourite Patricia Wentworth is Latter End - its a Miss Silver mystery with a most satisfying end:)

[angelatuson]

My comfort reads are by PG Wodehouse, Diana Wynne Jones, Peg Bracken and (tadaaa!) Eva Ibbotson. I love Ibbot’s kindness and sweetness. This year I read the House in the Cerulean Sea, and told every, It’s like Eva Ibbotson for grownups!( because my fav Ibbotsons are Not just a Witvh and Witch Witch.)

Thank you! Venetia is now in my TBR list.
I’m reading Pride & Prejudice along with the chronicles of Narnia.

Thank you for the suggestions. Wonderful choices that I have to pick up right now. Aloha

Thank you for this beautiful video
I added the Georgette Heyer books to my tbr list 😍 as someone who grew up absorbing the Anne of Green Gables books I was so thrilled to find it among your comfort reads. They are certainly essential in my list of comfort reads along with The Night Circus, The Secret Garden, The Scorpio Races and quite a few others 😍

The morning gift is one of my comfort books as well. A weird one that makes me feel better is Agnes and the hitman. The intro about the many ways to use a non-stick frying pan cracks me up every time.

[shonnarobertson]

I love the humour in Georgette Heyer’s Regency romances. I tend to reread all of them (in alphabetical order) every year. And currently enjoying listening to Richard Armitage reading Venetia on Audible. Love Anne of Green Gables and it and Anne of the Island are probably my favourites in the series.

[jennawar]

I think fantasy is my comfort genre. The world building is just the perfect escape for me without being too heavy in the way that historical fiction or thrillers can be. I’m also re-reading Pride and Prejudice in the community’s buddy read and it’s one of my favorites. I can’t wait to finish and rewatch the movie which is definitely a comfort movie.

[abbiel]

Thank you for the video ❤️ My favorite comfort reads are anything by Jane Austen, anything by Agatha Christie, All Creatures Great and Small, The Secret Garden, Harry Potter and, lately, Neil Gaiman ☺️

[nicolacurtis]

I'm so glad you have discovered Georgette Heyer! I remember when I first discovered her and was just so overwhelmed with how much I loved her books and that she had written so many- so many treats to discover! My absolute favourite is Devil's Cub. Also Sylvester, Recency Buck and The Corinthian all top my list of favourites. I might read her this weekend!

[subtlefire]

I just noticed that my biggest comfort reads are pretty different from each other: Sherlock Holmes, Good Omens, The Enchanted April & The Hobbit. I guess it depends on whether I need something to cheer me up when I feel down or something to soothe my anxiety. But apart from The Enchanted April, I've known all of them for a long time and they feel like being with friends.
