What makes a good comfort read? Or, Murderbot has Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon and I have Murderbot

As I was (once again) re-reading Murderbot and reading about Murderbot re-watching Sanctuary Moon, I realized that Murderbot has a good theory of what makes for comforting media.

What makes a good comfort read?

Multi-topic blog for things that are too long for Mastodon

While recovering from Covid last summer I re-read The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells while crocheting a huge hexagonal blanket. And when I say read, I mostly mean I put it on text to speech on my Kindle. I was really tired all the time and could barely think. Not only that, even having strong emotions exhausted me, so I didn’t want to read anything new and potentially upsetting. I certainly didn’t want to read any news or current events, either.

@dys_morphia It's like a foldable Settlers of Catan board!
@WaywardScutrGrl I hadn't really thought of that when I planned it, but it totally is :)
