£60 book tokens ... what shall I buy?!

[wlv12]

I’ve been gifted £60 of book tokens. I’m currently off work sick grieving the loss of my mum due to covid19. I’m reading comforting books right now, please give me recommendations for your favourite reads. No stories about death please.

The Number One Ladies Detective Agency is a comforting read, and there are lots in the series, I think it starts with a parent's death though, Cold Comfort Farm is the same.

Jeeves and Wooster and Nancy Mitford are always reliably sparkling and lighthearted.

Maeve Binchley books are lovely.

Have you found somewhere you can spend them online? When I looked (a few years ago) only foyles would take them!

I'm so sorry about your mum.

I would buy:
84 Charing Cross Road
Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day
A comforting children's book such as Ballet Shoes or Daddy Long Legs
A beautiful copy of an old favourite classic
A cookery book - a lovely, fat hardback one
