Let's swap our favourite reads to relax or calm us. It's been a stressful week in world events, never mind what's going on in our own lives.

LitStephanie OMG. Sorry, I am a spazz today. . . the general arc is progress. Most recently got comfort that way by listening to Marc Morris's King John. Sometimes I just want something happy and not remotely challenging and opt for romance. My most recent stress reduction medicine romance read was The Arrangement by Mary Balogh. Blind guy and skinny lady who isn't very pretty find true love. How can that not make you feel good, LOL? 20h
AllDebooks @LitStephanie thanks for the recommendations. I think Fingersmith is more of a comfort to me as I know it well. Sometimes deriving comfort from a familiar plot/characters is very therapeutic, be that tv shows, movies, or books. 20h
