The Comfort Book by Matt Haig

THAT FRIDAY FEELING

Is there any better feeling than receiving the book you really want at the exact moment you find yourself absolutely needing it?

My mum dropped this over to me last weekend and for the past couple of days, I’ve had my youngest at home with me, poorly and Chaya’s littlest has been stuck home, also under the weather.

I’ve not been able to read or do anything much — apart from a lot of Cocomelon, football when he’s been up to it and force feeding of Calpol (if you know you know!) but @mattzhaig’s The Comfort Book has been the perfect solution; you can dip in and out onto any page at any time and find yourself taking in some nuggets of hugely important wisdom. From the categorically life-changing to the laugh out loud, I know this is one that will be added to the pile of books that I have to keep by my bed — the little pile of books that I really need.

Needless to say, this comes highly recommended but in case you require any further persuasion, The Comfort Book is also raising money for some superb and vital causes — @grassrootssp@youngmindsuk and @beatedsupport. It will give you what you need whilst helping to give others the support they urgently need, too.
