I get such bad anxiety seeing all this scary stuff on the news with wars and politics and climate change and everything else in between. I read Factfulness, which I appreciated the message, but so much has happened since it was published. Both fiction and non-fiction are appreciated!

Turn off the news, it will make your life a lot better. Negativity sells in the news.
My current comfort book is The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. It feels like a warm hug and is an easy read.
For me, I like diving into long series I know I can escape into for a long time. Right now, that series is the Veronica Speedwell books. They’re mysteries set in Victorian England and feel like watching a BBC show. There are a ton of them. They’re predictable and a bit repetitive, but fun and fluffy, which is exactly what I want when my anxiety hits.
If you’re looking for more of a hug in book form, I recommend:
– Howl’s Moving Castle
– The Princess Bride
– Tress of the Emerald Sea
Definitely I will suggest that you turn off the news and social media the more that you read books the more that you realize **propaganda is a big thing in today’s world** 🌎 .
As the book **darkness at noon** presents, it tells about the story of “people who have no umbilical cord” they have no root they only go off of what propaganda tells them.
**That being said I would love for people to read tale of 2 cities** it’s a classic and it gives hope that even the most degenerate of us can find peace and realize that there is a higher power.
**“ keep your eyes on me“**.
It is Christian themed, and it’s a great story with a lot of character development I would advise tale of 2 cities.
**On a side note**: also look up the adaptation to the book which [when I was growing up I used to love your movies and one of the horror movies was **Fright night**] ,the vampire in the movie fright night plays the character of two of the main characters in the book of tale of 2 cities so if you have the opportunity to look up the adaptation I think that you will really enjoy it and for myself the book brought tears to my eyes
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune.
Don’t know if you want to read a 1000-page French tome from the 19th century, but *Les Miserables* is my go-to book to feel better about the world. All about finding hope in the most miserable circumstances imaginable.
