Woman Yells At Cloud :D

I wouldn't be able to ration the books, so I've solves that by just listening to the books multiple times... (That qualifies as a solution, right?)

A few pieces of media I come back to a lot: Tamora Pierce novels-particularly the Beka Cooper series or sometimes the Circle of Magic books, the tv show Leverage, the Canadian tv show Flashpoint, sometimes Lord of the Rings in audiobook form, and a number of various pieces of fanfiction (and some audio files of commentaries for Leverage and The West Wing episodes)

The audiobooks are so very good and absolutely really the only way I consume the series (and I've been very slowly sort of rationing the books out because I have a tendency to ignore things I should be doing in favor of more listening and I have school, and I also like to relisten, so I'm only up to Lies Sleeping, I think)

Every time a new one is released I’m straight in there. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith’s voice is just perfect.

My go to media for several years now have been the Rivers of London books. Well actually the audio book because I can listen to them while I'm at work and thus that's my preferred way of consuming them

The Martian (book and movie) have been comfort go tos ever since they were released

My go-to movie when I'm tired or ill has always been The Princess Bride. It was the movie my mother and I watched over and over when I was a kid, and it's literally a story being told to a sick child, so it's sort of doubly appropriate.

Comfort movie: The Last Starfighter--video games! Little Brothers! Rockets! Robert Preston as an alien! The California high desert! And, it says right on the dvd cover, spectacular special effects! Comfort series: live a fantasy in real life with LARPs, a series produced by Beanduck Productions in Canada, All time favorite comfort books: All three volumes of The FionavarTapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay--a heartbreaking and wonderful tale told in impeccable, beautiful prose.

I (Theresa) call those my "brain junk food" books. I like the Freedom's Landing books by Anne McCaffrey, and her Crystal Singer series. Those are sci-fi - not fantasy in the least, however. (Also cozy murder mysteries!) Videos? I like most of the Miyazaki movies (Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle are the top), and some of the murder mystery TV shows - Father Brown (the new one) and Poirot (with David Suchet).

Glad you're feeling better :) Comfort film: "The Dish", about the Australian space telescope used to capture the first moonwalk video during Apollo 11 - it is a gentle comedy that I (re-)watch when not very well. Books: The Liaden Universe books - the anthologies are full of short stories which make for easy dipping in and out. Also Pest Control by Bill FitzHugh for silly but enjoyable light reading.

John Walsh

My 'comfort food' books that I'll go back to when I just want to read something that's familiar and comforting is anything by Douglas Adams (no explanation necessary I presume), 'The Pride of Chanur' books by C. J. Cherryh (look, it's a space-opera about lion-people flying starships and I love it), and the Garret P. I. books by Glen Cook (a series of stand-alone, case-file type books about a noir-ish private detective in a fantasy world.)

When I had covid, or was drugged out post cancer surgery, I had the attention span of a gnat. I literally couldn't watch any show longer than 30 min, and even then kept falling asleep during commercials. Reading was even harder. It does get better though. Thanks for the book recommendation. I'll be reading it later. :) *edit* Things I watch when I'm sick, kiki's delivery service. Things I re-read when I'm sick, The murderbot stories, good omens, discworld novels, the chronicles of narnia, the parasol protectorate, and peter shandy mysteries.

I'm on my 3rd re-reading [since Christmas] of The Scholomance Series by Naomi Novik, which "I think you would like".... Re-reading Discworld books [especialy the Watch series] is comfort food.... For films to watch when feeling down the Brendan Fraser Mummy movies [1 & 2] are pretty good bang for buck.

Positives? Don't usually repeat because I remember things too clearly but/ TV: I've watched Loki, She Hulk and Wanda vision twice in the last year and some episodes more than that. Films Started the MCU first time I had Covid. Also Princess Bride and George of the Jungle enjoyed several times Books Rereading the Kencyrath saga yet again (for my son, but I'm enjoying too). Also Dianne Wynne Jones books like Archer's Goon (the tv series is a very good adaption and available on YouTube). I enjoy progression type Video Games. Repeat played Baldurs Gate (but only completed twice), also Master of Orion and Civilization type games. Basically where you feel a story playing out as you play. And for the really weird. Last week a workmate put me on to The Last of Us. This reminded my imaginary friend that she's a The Walking Dead fan. I'm not. We're currently watching it on Disney+ because she enjoys it, I'm appreciating it's well made but.. . Sometimes we watch things for others 🤷‍♂️ Regards Fenrir and Calypso

I've been able to train the YouTube and TikTok algorithms to generally give me good things, TikTok gave me Fantasy Heroine repeatedly but YouTube never did.

when it comes to the Storm-light Archives, I'd say that they are pretty good epic fantasy novels, likely to be the big series of our time. But this is also the series that made me decide to stop reading epic fantasy novels and pick up Pride and Prejudice instead, because I realised that I'd actually enjoy myself more.
