Someone mentioned the term “comfort book” to me a while ago, and it kinda stuck with me. So, what is/are your comfort book/s?

Harry Potter series definitely!
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Anything by Mitch Albom
The Shardlake Series by C J Sansom … I always head for Matthew’s place on Chancery Lane when I need a bit of comfort ????
Anything by Phillipa Gregory
All of them ?
Harry Potter
I agree any book is a comfort book for me too.
Any book!?
Any book by P.G. Wodehouse or Jerome K. Jerome.
I think any book for me also. Harry Potter is always a favorite though!
Harry Potter and Emerson
Any book really
The Secret Garden.
Usually Discworld but when my depression was bad earlier in the year I went for Dune and I haven’t read anything else since Feb ? 4 more to go after this one and I’ll have read them all
Just As Long As We’re Together by Judy Blume
Harry potter 🙂
Harry Potter by J.K Rowling, Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins & The Fault in our Stars by John Green
Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman), Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter.
Thirst series, TVD, The arcana chronicles or shatter me series!
Anything that takes me away mentally from the daily grind of life and uplifts and inspires me. Sometimes it’s a cozy mystery, or it may be philosophy book, maybe even some poems. I guess that is why I read 8 books at a time…. I have different moods as to what I want to read.
Any book I’m reading. I don’t have only one comfort book since I don’t really read a book twice unless I want to remember how it went before watching the movie.
Romances, when I don’t want to think.
A Christmas Carol
Harry Potter (This seems like my answer for a lot lately 😉 )
‘The Hobbit”, “Who Has Seen The Wind?”, and “To Kill A Mockingbird.”
Miss read books and Jan Karon. I also like to reread The Shell Seekers by Rosamund Pilcher
To Kill a Mockingbird.
Virginian, by Owen Wister. I get so depressed sometimes, and reading how the character gets through it helps. A LOT. 🙂
The Harry Potter series, The Name of the Wind, and the Dragonlance Chronicles!
Mysteries, psych thrillers, historical and medical fiction.
True blood books
Harry Potter, Percy jackson. Books that I can re-read many times, and it gives me a warm, cozy feeling.
Little Wonen, Persuasion, The Bible
Jane Austens….
Mystery, science fiction
Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig, & Walden pond by HD Thoreau…
Nero Wolfe’s adventures. Mentally, I will always occupy that world to some extent–it’s a home away from home.
Books in general. Hopefully not super emotionally heavy
Little Women, The Hobbit, Chicken Soup series when too tired or sick to read longer pieces.
Harry Potter. When I moved houses I was reading it and it really helped me.
That’s awesome! I moved into my new apartment 8 hours away from where I grew up yesterday and when I started missing my parents and childhood home I went to bed listening to the Harry Potter audiobooks. ❤️
Dracula, pride and prejudice, and the Belgariad by David Eddings.
Clancy and Ludlum!

When my step-dad kicked me out when I was 18, I made sure to take two things: my great-grandmother’s blanket and my Harry Potter books. At that time in 2003 it was up to book 5. 14 years later and they’re still my go to comfort books 🙂
