The Comfort Book is a perfect pick-up-and-put-down book. Short, easy-to-read sections provide uplifting advice as well as entertaining musings.
I kept this on my bedside and read it a few pages at a time, in between other longer books. What fun! There’s something for everyone to enjoy in this unique little collection.
