There’s nothing better than sitting around the campfire talking with friends, or a hug from a loved one after an incredibly long day. But sometimes, due to weather or circumstances, campfires and hugs aren’t always a possibility. If that’s the case for you, turn to these books for similar feelings of comfort and coziness.

Because as Paul Auster would say, “Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consultation, my stimulant of choice,” and I think that deep down, those of us who love to read could all agree. Which one will you enjoy first?

Learn what it was like working as an African American woman in the suburban houses of Jacksonville, Mississippi in the 1960s in this enlightening tale of struggle, friendship, and sweet justice. Though there was a movie adaptation of this novel released in 2011, I think the book leaves a heavier impact. If you haven’t yet read this to-be classic from our generation, make sure that you add it to your list ASAP.
