I re-read Lord of the Rings every year, but I don't consider that an escape or a cozy read. I'd say the Spooks Apprentice series (first 9 books) by the late Joseph Delaney. They are young adult focused, but I find them immensely enjoyable. On my fourth re-read. Mmmmm.
I used to love magazines back in the day (er, the 90s) so I’d probably grab a home decor book or something with lots of pictures in case I accidentally take a nap under a really nice blanket.
Martin Walker’s “Bruno, Chief of Police” series offers mystery, insight into modern France, and much more including incredible writing about food and wine!
I’m not too proud to say that my go-to cozy read is The Complete Calvin & Hobbes…
On that note, I can’t wait to check out Bill Watterson’s new book, The Mysteries, too! Asking for it for Christmas…
This is the best answer of all time.
For escape, I tend to gravitate towards espionage and mystery book. My latest escape reads are the Slow Horses series by Mick Herron.
Such a great series! I’m curious what book you’re in now Ralph.
Just starting #3. Real Tigers
Excellent, just in time for the next season of the series to come out. Enjoy, I recommend that series to anyone who will listen!
Not sure if I want to watch season 3 before I finish the book. I’ll probably watch it this weekend
My comfort reads include Three Junes, by Julia Glass (the audiobook, if you can!);
84 Charing Cross Road, by Helene Hanff; and anything by Ann Patchett.
Karl May
Lee Child
Terry Pratchett
Agatha Christie
Mine is Love, Rosie by Cecilia Ahern. It’s such a heartwarming love story that spans decades. I get comfort it reading it over and over again.

The Hobbit and the Harry Potter books for me.
My go-to authors are Craig Johnson, Louise Penny, and a slew of cozy mystery authors--Amanda Flower, Paige Shelton, Carlene O'Connor to name a few.
