We’re all aware that comfort food or comfort movies are sometimes necessary in life, but how about comfort books? The collection of books that I’ve found to help get my mind off stressors in life are a mix between romance and psychological thrillers. Listed below are my top ten comfort books (not in any order) that I’ll read again and again. All that are listed are compelling from the beginning, so you won’t have to worry about wasting time on a read you don’t end up enjoying. Hopefully, these are slightly more original than what’s being posted on BookTok.
