What are your favorite comfort reads?
It looks like there are several people that have already said Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, but I am going to say it too. I have re-read my copy of this novel so many times that it is quite literally falling apart.
Robin McKinley has also previously been mentioned. I love her novel Beauty and have re-read it several times.
Authors I also thoroughly enjoy and would read and re-read any of their books are Julie Klassen, Karen Witemeyer, Tamera Alexander and Melanie Dickerson.
