Looking for book recommendations

Jun 13, 2013 09:32

I'm looking for book recommendations in three different categories. I'm at a bit of a loss myself, so I hope you can help :)

Comfort book You know those books that feel like visiting an old friend and getting a big hug? Yeah, that kind of book. I know this is kinda vague, but most readers I've spoken to have books they'd refer to like this :) Some of mine would be the "Yada Yada" series, "A Modern Witch" series, the Anne books and the Little House books.

"Happiness Project" type memoirs... or "project memoirs" I guess you could also call them. Memoirs focusing on completing some project or the other - whether that be a journey (like "Changing Gears" by Nancy Sathre-Vogel), 365 days of cooking (like "Julie & Julia" by Julie Powell) or an actual happiness project (like Gretchen Rubin's two books).

Dystopian/Apocalyptic with good world-building. I've just finished the Newsflesh trilogy by Mira Grant and was absolutely blown away by it, so now I find myself wanting to read more in that genre.

Help, please?
