The
Summerhouse by Jude Deveraux
Jacquie says: “My
favorite comfort go-to read is The Summerhouse by Jude Deveraux. It’s
a few years old but deals with friendships, loss, a bit of magic, and second
chances. Who could want more?”
Me
Before You by Jojo Moyes
Amy says: “It is the
one book that I can read over and over, and it puts life into perspective.”
A
Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
Karen says: “I have
several (or more!) comfort reads, but my most recent is the All Souls
Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. I feel like I am catching up with long-absent
friends, and I find out something new about them with each reread.”
Where
the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
Louise says: “It haunts
your heart.”
The
Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Amber says: “I have
read it six times, and each time, I have found a new meaning and message.
Whenever I have a big change in life or any type of difficulty, this is my
go-to book. It is so beautifully written with something for everyone. It reads
like a fairy tale but includes wisdom and guidance for those who seek it.
Getting ready for my seventh read!”
All
Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot
Patty says: “It is the
best for comfort and calming and feeling good.”
A
Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving
Katrina says: “If I had
one book to be stranded on an island with, this book would keep me happy. John
and Owen just feel like home.”
Outlander
by Diana Gabaldon
Susan says: “Any time
I’m feeling really down, it sweeps me away to a different place and time, with
complex characters I can really feel, and the story not just of a love affair,
but of a marriage to stand the test of time.”
The
Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
Marsha says: “It’s a
great perspective on how, when losing someone, we are also grieving for the
person we used to be, who we used to be when they were here, and how we are
different now with them gone. It’s both a sad but comforting read.”
The
Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata
Kim says: “I’ve read
it 23 times since January 2017, and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon. The
characters are like old friends, and my heart is always so full after I finish
yet another reread.”
Seabiscuit
by Laura Hillenbrand
Emma says: “Such an
uplifting and emotional read.”
Still
Life by Louise Penny
Jo says: “Any of
Louise Penny’s Gamache series because Three Pines and all the
characters feel very much like home/family. The writing is wonderful. And no
matter how many times I read them, I always find something new in each book.”
