If you, like me, are not eagerly diving into that 800 page novel sitting on your bedside table, these comforting books are for you. These books have gotten me through personal crisis before, and they’re getting me through this one. Whether you’re working from home, quarantined with a houseful of kids, or are out there providing the rest of us with essential services-it’s a lot.
