I had a friend who found comfort in Winnie the Pooh. The books, actually anything related to Winnie the Pooh. Stuffed Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger. OMG, Winnie the Pooh china.
My go-tos are the P.G. Wodehouse novels. I have yet to figure out why I find them so engrossing. But they whisk me away from the stressors of the day and put me in a world where all the problems are significant to the characters but hilarious to the reader.
I don't do audio. Have tried but my mind wanders.😊
I think I’ve read each one, four times, through.
The audio books are OUTSTANDING. My dd even listened to them when she was afraid to go to sleep at night.
Weirdly, when I’m super stressed out, I go for romance novels, particularly ones with strong female leads.
I’ve also decided to learn to sew, so there’s a lot of learning there to keep my mind off the sadder thoughts about my mom’s deteriorating situation. I just checked out 3 books on sewing, including one that describes all the different types of fabric.
What a great question! I’m enjoying the responses. I hope you find something useful.
