Tell me your comfort book genres or you can be more specific; comfort book title! And tell me the reason as well. :P

I love consuming media that leaves me with a fluttering feeling and gives my heart too many blows of warmth and solace. Romance will always be my pick, especially if it includes a slice-of-life element. I love The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, my all-time favorite. I would also honorably mention Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. Sometimes, I believe I could write an entire book on the reasons why this one is my pick—although not necessarily a nice and easy-to-comprehend review. But if I were to sum it up succinctly, as someone who loves to cling to her emotions, both joy and pain, I feel this book does an excellent job of evoking your senses. There are four sections in this book, and three of them have a bittersweet quality with both warmth and sadness. I found them magically wonderful and emotional, something that could bring a sense of comfort even amidst the melancholy that came alongside them.
