@MsHearthWitch I think I’ve listened to them all over the years. Witches Abroad & Reaper Man are strong favorites too, but occasionally go out of favor for some reason. Lords &Ladies is also good.

@Archergal The Pratchett audiobooks are what I listen to fall asleep to as well!

Usually Witches Abroad, Reaper Man, and I'm currently listening to the City Watch series for the first time. Been enjoying Guards! Guards!

Favorite Terry Pratchett audiobooks to listen to while falling asleep: Thief of Time; Small Gods (old AND new versions); Jingo; Tiffany Aching, most of them; Nation.

@gavreads Definitely _To Say Nothing of the Dog_. It's one of my all time favorite

I've had fans tell me that these are for them. Which is a great compliment. NIGHT CALLS is about a young neurodiverse girl who is born of a long line of "practitioners."

Her mother doesn't want her to manifest the gift, because it can narrow life choices. But Allie doesn't plan to miss anything. Available at this writer's coop & the usual places.

Do you have comfort reads to share?

As an update to my last post about books for lethargic times, I'm currently ill in at least 3 different ways, so I've retreated into a Redwall book I haven't yet read. It's been many years since I last read one of these and I'm really enjoying it! Anyone for a scone with strawberry preserve and meadowcream?

I'm loving the latest one so much (as always), and I highly recommend the series as a whole for lots and lots of comfort reads. It starts with Book 1, Clean Sweep: goodreads.com/book/show/190903

(I like Book 1 an awful lot, but from Book 2 onwards it just hits a whole new level of fun and awesomeness. Seriously, I CHERISH this series! And I'm planning to do a full-series re-read as soon as I finish the latest one.)

Happy happy book birthday to
Ilona Andrews's Sweep of the Heart! This is quite possibly my favorite fantasy series EVER (I re-read it regularly because it's such perfect comfort reading), and I am so happy to have a new instalment to read: ilona-andrews.com/featured-rel

@BookwormYogi I was feeling very... bruised... by life, so decided to re-read E.F Benson's Mapp and Lucia books. Where nothing these frenemies do is of the slightest importance, but they do it with Machiavellian strategy and purpose.

Will Miss Mapp uncover Lucia really doesn't speak Italian? Will Lucia reveal Miss Mapp rejected her entry to the Art Committee without putting it before the entire committee? Who will win the next round?
