It's a snowy start to the week here in Massachusetts. Yesterday was crazy: high winds, blowing snow, and spots of blue sky and sunshine. It's snowing this morning too. I thought we were in spring, not winter.
Great question this week. Comfort reads are either fun or inspiring for me depending upon why I need the comfort.
If I am seeking a return to when my life was simpler or I wasn't facing so many decisions, it would be a book or series that I used to read regularly--or at least more than once.
If I am overwhelmed or feeling sad, I usually reach for something spiritual or inspiring.
And if I just want to read for the fun of it--something that is comfortable simply because it is purely for entertainment value--I might go with a romantic comedy or women's fiction.
How about you? What are some of your "comfort" reads?

I couldn't think of a comfort read, but those look very good. I actually have an e-book collection of a few Anne of Green Gables books that I've been meaning to read.
Enjoy!
Here is MY MUSING MONDAYS POST
Interesting post and I downloaded The Greatest Miracle in the World- you have me intrigued! Thanks. My post today: http://lovelyyarnescapes.blogspot.com/2016/04/musing-monday-oh-what-to-read.html
Laura Ingalls Wilder will always be a comfort read for me. I grew up on her teachings and being from Nebraska, I felt like j was actually living her books sometimes as a young child. :) great answers!
Hi, I loved Anne of Green Gables and Little House on the Prairie when I was young, I haven't really considered returning to them but I might do that. It would be interesting to see if I pick up on different things now that I'm older.
I'm currently reading through Mark's Gospel with my Bible Study group, we read aloud different verses from different versions. I love hearing the different interpretations. I've not tried the New King James Version yet. Is it easier than the original version?

Thanks for visiting, everyone. Sorry I am so slow in responding. Work has been nuts lately.
Laurel, you really need to read AOGG. I appreciated them much more as an adult than I did when I was younger.
Hope you enjoy Mandino, Elise.
Through the Letter Box, Wilder's books are so wonderful. How neat you felt such a strong connection to them.
Rachel, I definitely find the New King James Version easier. For Sunday school I prefer the American Standard Version.
