Books that make you feel better

Now that flu season has descended, we have been talking about comfort reads (just as good as comfort eating, without the calories) . I'm pretty sure the doctor recommends a fast paced, easy read that you can pick up and put down in between blowing your nose.

One avid reader has recently re-read the Gabriel series by Sylvain Reynard while recuperating under a blanket. She describes it as the 'ultimate literary hug' that can be read over and over again. This title is for older readers who love a good romance.

'The genre is romance and it had beginnings as Twilight fan fiction that became popular as a blog. The spin-off series to this one (The Raven) has vampires, is set in Florence Italy and is newly published'

Let us know what is on your comfort reads list!
