@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. #GNUTerryPratchet #ComfortReads

@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. #GNUTerryPratchett #ComfortReads

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

""There are lots of books that can give me a temporary escape from reality, but *comfort reads* give me sustenance."
Author @older highlights 5 of the books that always make her feel better, even if they're not particularly cozy or light:

ETA: Her _Mimicking of Known Successes_ is now part of my pwn Pantheon of comfort reads

What are your queer spec fic comfort reads that you go back to again and again?

I've had fans tell me that these are #ComfortReads 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.

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: https://goodreads.com/book/show/19090384-clean-sweep

(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: https://ilona-andrews.com/featured-release/

@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?

Asked today what are my comfort books and it took me a surprisingly long to time to muster some answers. But these be the lads... #reading #books #bookstodon #comfortreads
