Vibe
Comfort Read
The literary equivalent of a weighted blanket.
4 books on this shelf, newest first.
A comfort read is one you can trust. You know roughly where it is going, the characters will be treated kindly by the author, and nothing will ambush you at chapter thirty. That predictability is the feature.
Where to start: Cosy fantasy, small-town romance and gentle literary fiction all qualify. If you are recovering from something bleak, prioritise books with a low body count and a cast that likes each other.
