    Dragonsinger by Anne McCaffery has been my go to book since middle school, and it still is.

  2. mollificent says:

    Really hard to narrow it down to one book, so let me say: the collected works of Terry Pratchett. He’s funny as hell, and though he’s cynical he’s also incredibly profound and hopeful (somehow at the same time.)

  3. Lina says:

    Just Like Heaven by Julia Quinn is my go to Happy Book. Followed closely by Anything written by Marian Keyes or Julia Quinn.

  4. lolabotona says:

    My *happy* book would be Jane Eyre. Weird, eh? There’s something about Victorian England through the eyes of Jane that I find very soothing. She’s fantastic and I love her, so it’s like listening to a friend.

  5. blodeuedd says:

    Magician by Raymond E Feist. It was the first big book I read in English 🙂

  6. Sabrina says:

    Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Best book in the history of ever for when I’m feeling down.

    Thanks so much for these giveaways!

  7. TaraR says:

    I reread Anne of Green Gables. Comfort read.

  8. All Seated On the Ground, by Connie Willis – it’s a Christmas novella all about aliens and choirs and how Christmas carols actually have really disturbing lyrics. As a chorister and choir director, it makes me unbelievably happy.

    Other happy-making books for me are Laura Florand’s The Chocolate Touch, Kerry Greenwood’s Corinna Chapman stories, and just about anything by Lois McMaster Bujold.

  9. Rikki says:

    This is hard because it’s a toss up between A Civil Campaign or Shards of Honor both by Lois McMaster Bujold. I think it depends on the type of happy I’m going for. If I want to cackle with glee, A Civil Campaign (dinner party! Fifteen years since I first read that book and it still works for me) or sigh happily. A Civil Campaign is my favorite of the two but I find Shards of Honor easier to reread.

  10. Vasha says:

    The Last Unicorn by Petrr S. Beagle has often been my go-to comfort read

  11. Christine says:

    Anne of the island 🙂

  12. BRNZ says:

    The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley is my go to comfort read everytime 🙂

  13. Kael says:

    You know, I’m a little surprise I so far haven’t really gone in on the tea ones. . .but definitely loving the personal library kit.

  14. Ada says:

    It’s always been Saving Grace by Julie Garwood, one of my first ever romance novels!

  15. AMK says:

    The Last Hellion by Loretta Chase 🙂

  16. Sara says:

    No particular book really, but a good love and action filled historical western romance will do it for me.

  17. Kaetrin says:

    Most recently it was The Deal by Elle Kennedy (which isn’t out yet but ZOMG so good!)

  18. Natasha says:

    Can’t think of one book. As long as the story grabs a hold of me and is not too angsty I guess it qualifies and making me happy

  19. Janiec says:

    Bill Watterson’s It’s a Magical World: A Calvin and Hobbes Collection

  20. Tünde says:

    It’s Pride and Prejudice that I can re-read with a constant smile on my face.

  21. Kazen says:

    I think my “happy book” is the one that I intend to reread but haven’t yet. Right now the list includes The Night Circus and The Golden Compass. Thinking about how much I love those books makes me gush and reminisce… and avoid picking them up for fear of shattering an illusion. Double-edged sword, that.

  22. Christina says:

    The Talisman Ring by Georgette Heyer, probably.

  23. Lisa J says:

    It depends on my mood. Any of the Julie Garwood historicals or a Nalini Singh Psy/Changeling story will usually snap me from a funk or just make me feel good.

  24. Diane says:

    There are going to be a lot of you who disagree, but my comfort books are the two Blair Mallory books by Linda Howard – she is one seriously kickass alpha heroine who definitely does not own a doormat.

  25. Jan says:

    My comfort book=The Devil in Winter by the fab Lisa Kleypas

  26. Shem says:

    Jerome K Jerome’s Three Men in a Boat. It never fails to make me laugh.

  27. Camilla says:

    Anything by Joan Wolf.

  28. Janina says:

    Anu book by Nalini Singh makes me happy

  29. StarOpal says:

    Howl’s Moving Castle, The Princess Bride, or The Scarlet Pimpernel

  30. Kathryn Flaherty says:

    Any fairy tale. It could be an original Grimm or Anderson, it doesn’t even matter if it’s a retelling in a modern setting, fairy tales make everything alright.

  31. Patti (@lovesfabromance) says:

    The Bride by Julie Garwood. Or The Wedding. Something about those books, even now that I’ve read so many romances since then, takes me back and makes me happy. Definitely a comfort read 🙂

  32. Helen R-S says:

    As a comfort read I’d have to say Rilla of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery. I know it probably seems a bit of a weird choice for a “comfort” read, given it’s set during WWI, but it just works for me.

    A book that always makes me laugh is Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones.

  33. Meredith S. says:

    Lead Me On by Victoria Dahl. I don’t know how many times I’ve read it, but it is my go to book for when I’m feeling out of sorts.

  34. Allison says:

    Little women. When i am in the mood for some feels, it never fails!

  35. Maureen says:

    Anything by Nora Roberts are comfort reads for me.

  36. Katrina T. says:

    Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews always makes me happy. It’s usually one of the books I read to get myself out of a reading funk.

  37. GHN says:

    I have several “happy books”, or series. Among them are Sharon Lee and Steve Miller’s Liaden books, Diana Wynne Jones’ Crestomanci books, and Wen Spencer’s Tinker books.

  38. Gail says:

    Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie is pretty much an antidepressant.

  39. The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery never fails me.

  40. Kate says:

    A lot of my favorite comfort reads have been mentioned! I tend to go back to young adult books, like Howl’s Moving Castle or The Blue Sword. I also love Summers at Castle Auburn by Sharon Shinn. There are too many!
