Here is a cozy, comforting list of books to read while you're stuck at home in self-isolation during this weird, awful time. I picked books that I felt were thought provoking, or somehow in the ~theme~ without being too on the nose or too heavy in theme. I know a lot of you might be having an anxious time (and I'll admit, I am too.) Lots of us turn to books for comfort, myself included. So that's exactly what these books, for me, do :) Or they make me think. Or cry. All of these are useful.
So here are some of my favourite books; if a friend walked up to me and asked for recommendations and I had no idea what their tastes were, these are exactly the eight books I'd tell them to read.
I hope you're okay. A lot of people are suffering. A lot of people have lost loved ones, or homes, or jobs, or family businesses or whole careers. Take care. I hope we all get through this really soon.
Enormous love xx

Hey guys! I hope you're all taking care during this time. I wanted to make a list of books you can read that are cozy, or wholesome, or lovely, or filled with nature, or thought provoking. There are also some classics on this list--I know a lot of people have lost jobs and income, so if you don't have a big disposable income to spend on books at the moment, classics are generally really cheap if not free! And even though the libraries are closed (at least, libraries in Australia are) remember there's always apps like Libby which allow you to borrow audio books or ebooks for free so long as you have a library card 💛Enormous love. Take care. I hope you're all okay xx

Thank you for this, Christy! Also, I appreciate you thinking about people not being able to buy new books, that's so thoughtful of you. I'm about to watch the video so I don't know if you've mentioned Neil Gaiman's audiobooks, read by him, free on Mouse circus. Since you've talked a lot about it in the past, I listened to the Graveyard book and it was a calming and cosy listen in such a stressful moment, so thank you for the suggestion! Your videos are an instant infusion of happiness and calm, especially during this time. Take care, stay safe and healthy. 💛💛💛

If you haven't read Daisy Jones and the Six yet, then I'd recommend that one :) (this was the first video from you I stumbled upon) I listened to the audio and it was awesome! It's about a life of a rock band during the 70s, all the ups and downs and it was just so fun to listen to that it made me search if the band was actually real :D (it was not). But it made me wish all the songs they were talking about were real and that I could actually go and listen to them. It's made in interview form and has a whole cast in the audiobook. Otherwise, also from the audiobook world, Sadie was an interesting find. I bet they'd be good in regular old book form also, but I feel the audiobook versions made them 5x more alive :) I'll definitely give Never Let Me Go another turn (since I remember not understanding it that much when I read it at 16) and find some of the other ebooks from my online library :)

I'm noting down the first in the list. Sounds like it's the book I'm looking for; lovely natural imagery and strong setting. I'm currently reading Convenience Store Woman :) Didn't expect to laugh so much. I'd like to recommend Kim Ji-Young, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-joo. The English translation published by Scribner was recently released.
