Goodreads Members Suggest: Favorite Comfort Reads"Stay calm and read on" might be our collective slogan for the coming months. Since we all might need some help with that, we asked Goodreads members on Twitter and Facebook to name the comforting reads they turn to when life is hard.
Their responses ranged from classic children's stories to comedic memoirs. Some readers swear by "anything romance." Others like a heavier read to remind themselves of human resilience. And a good number mentioned cozy mysteries as their genre of choice—it's in the name, after all. One surprise? Multiple mentions of books featuring cats (and none featuring dogs).
Here are some comforting titles that are vetted and approved by your fellow readers. We hope you find a cozy book or two to cuddle up with in the weeks ahead.
