I'm only on the second book in the Cazalets saga but I'm already concerned about what I'll do when I've finished the last one!

Any recommendations about what to read next?

Doesn't need to be a family saga.

Haha! Can I come and raid your bookshelf?

Crocus I think you may be my literary twin!

I love the Cormoran Strike novels (have latest on my Christmas list) and also love Jonathan Coe.

Oh wow, I read those books decades ago! Thanks for the reminder OP, I might re-read them! Sorry, no use for suggestions, am I. I'm currently hooked on the Strike novels by Robert Galbraith (detective novels written by JK Rowling under a pseudonym). Very different from the Cazalets but I'd highly recommend if you like a crime novel.

Before that I read the three books about a family called the Trotters (again, nothing like the Cazalets) by Jonathan Coe. They're also excellent. The first one is called the Rotters' Club.

Yes, comfort read sounds good. But strictly no chick lit!

Although I usually read a trashy Christmas book once a year.

I know. So lovely. I need cook and a constant supply of plum tart. And a handkerchief scented with cedar of Lebanon.

What do you need? Comfort read?
