A comfort read is a book you keep, not borrow. It lives within reach, slightly worn, and gets taken down when the week has been too long.
The ten on this shelf have earned that spot in thousands of households: village comedies, March sisters, midnight gardens and one very well-read Queen. Several were written for children, which is often where the best comfort is kept.
If you already own some of these, consider this permission to reread them. Rereading is not cheating. It's coming home.
Take a book from the shelf
One gentle reflection
Before you go
Ask yourself which book you've reread most often in your life, and what it gives you each time. Whatever the answer is, that's information about what you need. Keep it close.
