For me, I think, the series peaked with that book. It also introduced me to The Little Prince.<br /><br />Valerie - I think returning to books we've loved growing up is a wonderful comfort read. <br /><br />Linda - Loved the early Stephanie books, definite comfort reads.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-87146056937135355612010-07-27T10:15:18.250+02:002010-07-27T10:15:18.250+02:00Anna - love the early Linda Howards.

I love how the relationship between Charles and Anna is developing and even though their wolves have bonded there's still a lot of things their human halves have to sort through.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-33137913287052057662010-07-27T10:11:51.073+02:002010-07-27T10:11:51.073+02:00Sullivan - I think Anne Bishop's short stories...Sullivan - I think Anne Bishop's short stories are very good for just dipping into when you haven't got a lot of time to read.<br /><br />Hilcia - I'm a recent P&P convert so am in complete agreement with you on that one.<br /><br />Chris - I think my favourite m/m comfort read is probably Zero at the Bone.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-7490038604722323472010-07-27T10:10:09.849+02:002010-07-27T10:10:09.849+02:00Nicole - I'm sure I have the Winter Moon antho...Nicole - I'm sure I have the Winter Moon anthology in my TBR pile.

When I'm feeling down I usually reach for my ipod , not really a particular book. But I do reread some books for that particular feeling that they give me when I read them , for instance Drawn Together by Z.A Maxfield , Family Blessings by LaVyrle Spencer, Nora Robert's Dream trilogy.Nastassiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03301788457122493916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-89090189606918404252010-07-21T23:38:06.510+02:002010-07-21T23:38:06.510+02:00Oooh... comfort reads.

There's "Sorcery and Cecilia" by Patricia C. Wrede and Carolyn Stevermer. There's the Harper Hall trilogy by Anne McCaffrey. And "Summers At Castle Auburn" by Sharon Shinn. Or Lackey's "Serpent's Shadow" and "Phoenix and Ashes". There's so many others I can't list them all, even if I could remember them all...Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415819230337026236noreply@blogger.com
