Note: Top Ten Tuesday Is A Weekly Meme Hosted by The Artsy Reader
Hi Readers!
This weeks Top Ten Tuesday topic speaks to my soul. I feel like I’ve done this post before and have talked about these books a million times, so there’s nothing very new here if you’ve been here for a while, but here are the ten books which are unfailingly comforting.
So many of these are on here because they’re a favourite story, and I’ve just read them so many times. I think there’s something so comforting in going back to characters you know so well.
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgsen Burnett
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Thanks For Reading,
Jess X

Pride and Prejudice and the Hobbit are on many lists and I have to say, they aren’t for me (I know, a minority), however I really enjoyed Eleanor Oliphant and could see where that might be a comfort read. Happy Reading! See what you think of my list: https://www.bookshelfjourneys.com/post/ttt-comfort-reads

Spending time with favorite characters is definitely comfort reading for me, too. I’m especially intrigued by your inclusion of the Gerald Durrell book on your list, as I’m familiar with all the others! I think aside from children’s books, Pride and Prejudice is the book I’ve read the most times in my life.

The Corfu trilogy started out as a nature memoir (Gerald is a naturalist), but ended up being a family saga that is full of hilarious misadventures and anecdotes so wonderfully told. Highly recommend as a Summer read!
