The one you pick up when you're exhausted because it doesn't matter where you start or stop as you know it so well. The one you reach for when you're ill and can't concentrate on anything.

Cold Comfort Farm.

I periodically settle back into re-reading LM Montgomery as well - love the Anne series and Emily of New Moon equally.

The last continent by Terry Pratchett, like a warm hug. Makes me smile every time!

Pieces of Summer by C. M. Owens. It breaks my heart every time and it’s just cathartic! Even more heartbreaking now the author has passed away, but beautifully written and I love it!

Anne of Green Gables and Anne of the Island.

Find both of them so comforting.

After those two it would be Persuasion.
