Comfort Reading Tag

Comfort Reading Tag Prompts:

1. The Kettle's On: A book of steadfast comfort, always there for you, makes any day better, like a cup of tea (or your favorite warm drink).

2. Grandmother's Quilt: A book that reminds you of a loved one, or a comforting book that was given to you or read aloud to you by someone dear.

3. Warm Spices: A book with particularly vivid prose or imagery. A story comforting in its richness, depth, or vibrance.

4. Candlelight: A book that keeps you going or encourages you when things feel dark.

5. Laugh-Medicine: A book that makes you laugh out loud or grin widely, coming to the rescue on the gloomiest days.

6. In Bed All Day: You've got your warm drink, a cozy blanket (maybe grandmother's quilt.) What do you read when you're curled up in bed all day? (Or for a couple of hours, anyway.)

7. Endless Comfort: A book that brings you solace no matter how many times you reread it.

8. Portable Hope: A book that restores your faith in humanity, faith in life, faith in yourself. A book that says, "It's going to be okay. The world is full of good things, and tomorrow will be better."

9. A Basket for Your Neighbor: Just as it's lovely to be comforted by books, it can be lovely to pass the comfort along. Imagining you were putting together a cozy comfort basket for your neighbor (or friend, loved one, take your pick), which book(s) would you include.

10. A Walk in the Woods: Though we'd like to stay curled up indoors with our books forever (or, at least, I would), we've got to venture into the world again sometime. A walk in the woods always helps me feel refreshed (unless I happen upon a spider or something, but let's not think about that). Tell us about a book with beautiful nature writing, or a book that restores your peace.

One thingI love about your videos is seeing the physically beautiful editions you have bought for your collection. There is nothing like a big, heavy tome with a glorious cover and wonderful illustrations….
So your an ‘iPod person’ as well. I have about six on them. Mainly three of the large ‘iPod classics’ with the 160gb hard drives… and while some is music, a large proportion is audiobooks. The other iPods are smaller ones I tend to load a single series on and keep in the car or a jackets. But I never leave the house without at least one of the big ones. Mobile phones just can’t hold enough books! Some interesting choices of ‘comfort reads’.
I am not sure I have any. I tend to shift to non fiction history when I want to dip into something for a short while. My ‘trash’ is Military SF.. space battles and plasma rifles and my main focus is contemporary sf and whatever the few Book-tubers I follow have recommended. The latter has become very important as I find myself reading gems that I would never have tried. Perhaps watching book-tube is my comfort?

Oh was that you feline beasts smashing up the house at one point in the video. I sounded like one of them was learning the drums at one point. You gotta’ love cats. Oh and the thumbnail with the pillow.. 🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨.

Loved hearing about all your comfort reads! I just read one that was super cozy last night: Succulents and Spells by Andi C. Buchannan, which is a contemporary witchy f/f romance mystery novella set in Wellington, NZ that follows a witch as she meets a scientist and they try to uncover some strange magic they encounter. So gentle, so sweet, and has some interesting themes of self-discovery.
