The book you return to again and again. I have just finished reading three new quite heavy books and fancy re reading something that I've enjoyed before so hoping to pick your collective brains

Miss Pettigrew lives for a day is one of my comfort reads too. Three Men in a Boat is pure happy escapism too, I've lost count of how many times I've read it.
And Harry Potter

India Knight recommended Forever Amber by Kathleen Turner as a book to curl up with when she did a webchat a few years back. It was winter and just what I needed at the time so i ordered a copy up. Whoop, whoop was I in for a treat. It's a real bodice ripper set in 17th Century which (I think) was banned when it first came out. Think Jilly Cooper but set against the Great Fire and the Plague. Amber is this amazingly resilient heroine who I loved throughout. The book goes on and on but I just didn't want it to end. My mum burst out laughing when I told her what as I was reading - apparently it was my grandmother's favourite book when it first came out in the 40s - she used to hide it under a cushion because it was seen as being so racy!
