  • Love Jane Austen! I feel a pleasant coziness when I re-read her works as well. I recently found annotated editions of Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey at a second hand bookshop that were really interesting. It offered a bit of historical context, explanation of games or dances the characters would do, insight into the daily life of people of that time, etc. I highly recommend grabbing a copy if you find one.


  • Ooo… love this question! My go-to is P.G. Wodehouse— there are a multitude of short stories and novels to choose from, each incredibly lighthearted, fast-paced, and super funny (and the character names! How can you not chuckle at the name Gussie Fink-Nottle?!) I find these stories easy to pick up and read in short sessions, and perfect for getting back into the reading habit. My personal favorites are the Jeeves stories and The Drones Club.

    Plus, if you’re one who uses an e-reader, Wodehouse’s works were recently added to the public domain, so free downloads are available loads of places. Easy to give it a try!
