I don't know about you, but I've read a lot of comfort reads over the last two years during the course of the pandemic.
What sorts of books have been comfort books for me?

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
Interesting take on the topic.

I've read all of my life (once I learned to read, at age 4 or so) but I was starting to let the Internet grab more and more of my attention. It still does, but I would agree the pandemic helped me find my way back to reading, especially after gaining access to the New York (City) public library and its ebooks. I've taken such advantage, I can only hope that library keeps ebook access to all citizens of New York State once this is officially "over" (such as "over" will be).
