I love your Virago Venture, thanks to you I've just discovered Winifred Holtby. On the subject of comfort reading though I had to laugh. I have a part time job in the book department of my local supermarket and I must have spent at least 10 minutes yesterday, completely engrossed in Enid Blyton's Naughtiest Girl - I completely forgot I was at workAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-20219201469554410372010-06-22T13:08:41.847+01:002010-06-22T13:08:41.847+01:00Hi Verity,

I hope you feel better soon and am grateful that you manage to post up anything at all whilst having a hard time.<br /><br />My comfort reads of the year have been recommended by you: The Marriage Bureau for Rich People series by Farahad Zama.

And, as I didn't read them as a child I don't feel as comforted by them in the sameway. I'm keen to get Oxenham's Damaris books as Damaris is one of my middle names!<br /><br />Vivienne - only every three weeks?! I used to read library books through several times while I had them out to tide me over until I went back - but I doubt I could have lasted that long. Going on holiday used to be torture as I could never take enough books with me.verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-9354124354098352122010-06-22T09:03:58.013+01:002010-06-22T09:03:58.013+01:00I hope you feel better soon!I hope you feel better soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-81775527338724053932010-06-22T08:46:49.159+01:002010-06-22T08:46:49.159+01:00Hope your reading and baking helps you feel better...Hope your reading and baking helps you feel better soon.Joan Hunter Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652041203134127783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-81287299010429736682010-06-22T08:39:11.786+01:002010-06-22T08:39:11.786+01:00Hope that you feel better soon!Hope that you feel better soon!Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214328862998740090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-79090339362864502292010-06-21T19:50:15.949+01:002010-06-21T19:50:15.949+01:00I was just remembering as a child, when I was only...I was just remembering as a child, when I was only allowed to go the library once every three weeks and then I was only allowed three books out at a time. I never received many books, so the joy now of having such a huge and instant supply is wonderful.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-20815219497101036212010-06-21T19:46:49.905+01:002010-06-21T19:46:49.905+01:00I missed your original post too - but agree with r...I missed your original post too - but agree with ramblingfancy-there are some great contributions there! I have some children's books I will re-read - L M Alcott, Swallows and Amazons, Chronicles of Narnia and The Dark is Rising. I know these books so well that reading them is like meeting old friends. However, the books I re-read the most are Jane Austen's... they are my ultimate comfort read. If I'm feeling sad or ill, I'll read the last chapters of one of them and feel better, and will re-read at least one a year. I blame them entirely for my overly romantic tendencies.....<br /><br />Hope you are feeling much better very soon - its horrid when medication knocks you for six - lots of relaxation and nice books and food called for.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654716165687977221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-48454279276224369362010-06-21T19:21:49.972+01:002010-06-21T19:21:49.972+01:00Hope you feel better soon Verity, keep up with the...Hope you feel better soon Verity, keep up with the comfort reading and look after yourself.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16462516965218548374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-51553168167037351962010-06-21T18:24:16.134+01:002010-06-21T18:24:16.134+01:00Oh poor you!

I'm sorry I missed your first post on this fascinating topic until now and can see you had some fabulous suggestions. Have you ever tried the Abbey books by Elsie J Oxenham? I find them a great comfort read series. I love the fact that you share so much of your own personal reading taste in your blog btw - def not narcissistic at all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-2698121671118525382010-06-21T17:28:21.449+01:002010-06-21T17:28:21.449+01:00Please do :)Please do :)verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-69955756647898969182010-06-21T17:26:27.973+01:002010-06-21T17:26:27.973+01:00I have a comfort reading-related post in the pipel...I have a comfort reading-related post in the pipeline - do you mind if I draw attention to your posts?
