Whether it's the comfort of familiar characters, the wisdom found in their pages, or the timeless themes that continue to resonate, these are the stories I keep coming back to year after year.
I will always return to this book, having first read it over 10 years ago- it still pops in my head!
Kissed by an Angel: Elizabeth Chandler
Again its another YA that I always come back to but the characters are so well written that i cant help it!
Dragonfly: Julia Golding
I wish i could re read this for the first time because I loved it so much, and still read it just for a hit of nostalgia!
Fallen
THIS BOOK IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH and I will always reread this when given the chance!
Waterfall
This is probably my biggest comfort series of all time and will forever be on my bookcase… hint: you meet the best character in book 3
Glass Houses
The book and the Films are my perfect pick me up combo and will always be a comfort to me
Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Clothbound Classics)
The hobbit, i love lord of the ring but sometimes reading them is a mission but the hobbit gives the perfect amount of Tolkien without taking ages to read!
The Hobbit
I am aware this list is probably making it very obvious what year i was a teen but even being older when this came out- midnight sun is the best of the twilights and a constant reread for me!
Midnight Sun
You know it, you love it, and it hits different as you get older
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I tend to read a lot of holocaust and cult survivor stories however this one is probably my go to recommendation and is one i have read many times over the years
The Tattooist of Auschwitz
The film is iconic and the book is one i always have to reread!
The Help
Words cannot explain this book, it is healing in a way i cant describe but does also rip your heart out…so does the film and yet i always come back to it
The Shack
I love ancient history and this book is forever my comfort- it so strongly reminds me of the roman books from when i was a kid but for Young adults instead
Cleopatra's Daughter: A Novel
One book to film adaption where the book is undeniably better! and 100 x more heartbreaking
My Sister's Keeper
An odd choice for a comfort book, but I love Jodie picoult and this book never gets enough recognition for how powerful it is.
Nineteen Minutes: Picoult, Jodi: 9780743496735
I cant even explain why, but I love this book and the insight you get
