Favouite comfort foods and favourite comfort reads... my favourite conversation! I think that books are like ingredients - you can push yourself in different directions, depending on your needs. We all evolve and change. There are still titles i don't think I'll ever be able to read tho - I'm thinking of The Kite Runner. And food wise, durian. Maybe it's time for another try?
Oh I loved The Kite Runner but for me The Book Thief I couldn't push through 🤷🏻♀️. You're right though, books can be many different things and our wants ebb and flow. Food similar, I think Durian may also be one of those things though. Left on the metaphorical top shelf for another day lol
Yes to Mac and Cheese and yes to books! Some choose shopping to soothe, celebrate, entertain...I choose reading. As a young child, we would go to the library weekly. I would leave with an arm load of books and simply couldn't understand anyone checking out just one book! I even have a "safety book". One I keep in case I run out of things to read. It is my security blanket, of sorts. And of course I now have my Kindle so I actually never run out but the " fear" is real! Except for the few years devoted to infants and toddlers commanding all my time, I have always sought out those sweet, quiet moments to immerse myself in the lives of those found in the pages I hold in my hands. And now, in retirement, I stretch out on the comfy couch with my wee 4 legged friend and sink into colors, sights, and sounds evoked in reading. Thanks for posting and I look forward to making your Mac Cheese!
Oh Susan get libraries... yes always the best. I spent so much time in them with my kids when they were little. Thanks for sharing your lovely memories x
