My Comfort Reads

A list by Sarah, Librarian

What is a comfort read? A comfort read is a book you return to again and again that lifts you up or makes you feel better. Comfort reads can be very personal and if you're like me, you may have a few. Here are some of my favorite comfort reads. I would love to hear yours!

Books

I love this book, but really ever time I'm sick or down, I watch the BBC.

This is such a great story of connection, everyone should read it.

I don't care how old you are, there is a sweetness to this book that can't be matched.

I return to this book because it's funny, but also its connection to an event in my life. I'm sure you have books like this as well.

I will always return to Malcolm Gladwell when I feel like I don't understand the world around me.

My son and I read all of Shel Silverstein's books when he was growing up so returning to them remind me of his childhood even as he's an adult now.
