What’s a feel-good book you turn to when you’re feeling burnt out or in need of a pick-me-up?.
I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately and would love a book that's easy to dive into—something feel-good, charming, or just plain uplifting. Any recommendations?

Valentine in Montreal by Heather O’Neill. It’s a really sweet book about a young woman running around Montreal after she spots her doppelganger. Very gentle and magical.

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid is my comfort read.
Other than that you could also give the Hitcherhikers Guide to the Galaxy or Dungeon Crawler Carl a try.

The boy, the mole, the fox, and the horse, by Charlie Mackesy is a good one for me. It’s simple, short, but very endearing. Side note: just realized how dark the majority of bookshelf actually is, tho, lol.

Pride And Prejudice by Austen, or Cabinet of Curiosities by Lincoln and Child.

Siddhartha gave me the biggest smile that has lasted a week so far.

David Sedaris is good for this.
