The vibe of this channel is perfect for comfort reads.

My ultimate comfort book is At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon. I even travel with it to help me sleep when I’m getting used to wherever we are. ❤

Thank you for all the wonderful recommendations. My absolute favorites are the "Little House" books, particularly "Little Town on the Prairie". I read them many times in grade school. I got a boxed set for my 12th birthday & it is one of my all time favorite gifts. I hope to travel & see some of the places Laura lived. I went to her home in Missouri back in 1977 & it was a wonderful experience.

Miss Read is such a comfort. I love the illustrations of John Goodall (her illustrator) and collect anything I can find. My mom and I loved to refer to people as certain Miss Read characters!

I wish we could have tea together! We could talk books for hours! I love seeing you talk about books that I have and love also!!

I love going to our local library armed with a list of favourite books you have recommended, Miranda.Needless to say, my home library is becoming quite extensive and have purchased an extra bookcase😂.Thankyou both for starting a YouTube channel and other social media sites. You have brought a lot of joy to us all.❤

Three yrs already, goodness. I've throughly enjoyed our time together. 👏

Miranda, I started following you a year ago when I found your channel. I appreciate your recommendations and your summaries ~ it's an art to describe a book in 30-45 seconds so that one has an idea about if it's something you'd like to read! I hope you keep on all of your videos, the trips with your Mom, your seasonal selections and comfort book club! Thank you so much, I really enjoy seeing a video of yours pop up! Best wishes from Nashville Tennessee!

I always look forward to your videos.. i also LOVE cozy books.. so grateful for you Miranda ..thanks for bringing joy to my life 📚🍵😊

I would turn to The secret garden, Ballet Shoes or The railway children; some Christie or Sayers, and The 39 steps by John Buchan I find weirdly comforting too😊

So pleased to have you mention Gladys Taber. She was a wonderful writer.

[anitaalfred]

Wow! So many of these are my comfort reads as well! Definitely Three Men in a Boat, but also love Wind in the Willows, Anne of Green Gables series (love Rilla of Ingleside!), When calls the heart by Janette Oke, Chalet School, Heidi, Enid Blyton (Caravan Family series, Five Findouters, Famous Five, oh simply everything). We're so lucky to have so many lovely books to read. Thank you for sharing your comfort reads!

Just had to pause this for a moment to tell you how happy I was to see you including Mapp and Lucia! That book got me through a boring time when I was ill years ago, and it's remained one of my favorites when I need a smile. On to watch the rest of your video and add to my TBR! 😊

As a pony mad child and now adult, the Jill books win hands down for me. They were the books that really got me into reading and I used to ride around on my pony when I was a little girl pretending to be Jill. Those were the days of long hot summers and school holidays that would last forever... Utter bliss!!

[susanfisher]

So many of these books and authors are favorite comfort reads of mine! Thanks for mentioning Gladys Taber; she’s an author I return to regularly and I feel doesn’t get enough recognition. It’s hard to choose, but I think my ultimate comfort read is The Children of Green Knowe by L. M. Boston. I would love to visit her home that inspired the series—maybe some day.

[monikakajosz]

One of my very favourite comfort reads and my very late discovery must be 'A tree grows in Brooklyn' by Betty Smith. What a gem! Thank you for this lovely video.

[elizabethathome]

This was the ultimate video, and perhaps my favorite list of books you've shared. So many familiar favorites and yet, also so many new titles and writers for me to look up and try out. Comfort, feel-good, cozy books are my ultimate favorites. I really loved and appreciated what you said in the first few minutes of this video. That, alone, is worth watching this video! I wholeheartedly agree with what you said about comfort books and how they often don't get to shine like they deserve...after all, they bring SO much to the lives of those who read them. At least, I know that's true for me. I often refer to them as my "kindred spirit books", as they are books that I have tucked in my heart and take along with me in some way. ♥ Thank you for this list, but especially for making your channel a place that cherishes comfort reads!

[lisejay]

I think Little women is the one book that is my ultimate comfort read I've read it so many times and I love it each and every time xx

[lindahill]

Wonderful list, Miranda! Thanks especially for your recommendations for Gladys Taber, O. Douglas, and Anthony Trollope. They so often are overlooked and are such lovely comfort read authors.

[sarahevans]

Definitely Alison Uttley for me, I also love Alice Taylor’s books about life in rural Ireland in days gone by. After such a hard day it was lovely to watch this and I now look forward to spending the evening with a comforting book ❤
