Prompt: What I read when I'm not feeling well
Comfort reads! The short, easy answer is that I tend to go back and re-read books that I enjoyed previously. (Or, alternatively, play video games that fall into the same general category.)
That includes some stand-alones:
- Martha Wells, Wheel of the Infinite
- Martha Wells, City of Bones
- Roger Zelazny, Lord of Light
- Jennifer Crusie, Welcome to Temptation
- Jennifer Crusie, Faking It
- Jennifer Crusie, Bet Me
It also includes some series:
- Roger Zelazny, Chronicles of Amber
- Barbara Hambly, the Darwath Cycle
- Robert E Howard, various Conan short stories
- Martha Wells, The Books of the Raksura
And, as I mentioned, a couple of video games that occupy a similarly comfortable/comforting niche for me:
- Infamous and Infamous 2
- Infamous Second Son
- Soul Reaver (and various associated)
- Star Wars: Battlefront (the PS2 version, not the newer one)
There are a few others that I might jump back to if I were feeling poorly and the mood took me, but these are my go-to list.

I really need to check out Martha Wells sometime.
