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?
