I have everything written by her including collections of her articles and her cake recipes. Not only do I have to slow down when I reach the end, I have read all of her books three or four times and I always pre-order the next one even if I don’t know what it’s about. Luckily, she writes lovely, long novels which keep me going for a good while. She ticks the boxes for all of my rules with most of her books – mainly because l I don’t want them to end. Marian Keyes is my absolute go to number one author if I want a bit of escapism and comfort. When I choose my books they have to tick five boxes – you can click here to see a reminder of the the rules If they don’t meet the criterion – they aren’t getting in. This is the second in my series on amazing books I recommended, have a look at my first one: Louis de Bernières and Liane Moriarty. Today this post is all about those funny, warm, and – above all – entertaining books which tell a bloody good story. If I’m having a hard day and there is no wine (or cake) available, these writers make is all better. When I say comfort reading, I mean that the books are so absorbing, so gripping, they help you escape from the world for a few hours. Hugging your loved ones, taking a bath, opening a bottle of wine, watching a good movie, or eating as much cake as you can get in your mouth.Īll of those work for me, but the cake is not a good idea if I’m trying to stick to my low-carb diet. Reposting in honour of the VERY exciting news Marian Keyes is publishing a sequel to ‘Rachel’s Holiday’ screech!Ĭomfort comes in many forms.
