It's been a while since I made a book list. There are reasons, one being that this isn't a fast process. The other is that due to the algorithms of 'social' media, I can no longer toss out the question of 'what do you like to read?' and get more than a hundred enthusiastic responses. Which is sad, because I refuse to believe that people are reading that much less than they did a few short years ago, and I know for sure that readers love to talk about books they want to share with other readers. I know I do! Even after all these years, I have the heart of a librarian and want to introduce folks to books they might also love, but I understand all too well that not everyone will like the same books I do. This is why I crowdsource the book lists, rather than completely curate them myself. It's fascinating to see, with this list, what readers find to be comfort reads.
