"Comfort Reads"

In case you haven't noticed, many of the books I've added in the last couple of weeks are part of a series. Two series, actually, both by the same author. She is my current "comfort read." When the world seems a little hectic and the burdens a little heavy, she's created a world that gives me some escape. It's a world where problems always seem to have a solution and where people are ultimately kind to each other. Kind of like a 1950's tv show, huh?

So, what books do you turn to when you need that kind of escape? I'd like some new ideas.
