In times of distress, I find some of the best genres are healing fiction, fantasy and a subset of fantasy called cozy fantasy. The settings are often cozy and the author evokes feelings that make the reader feel comfort and ease. That being said, many people find immense comfort in healing fiction so I encourage you to check out the genre. In this way, reading fantasy can be incredibly healing in distressing times. Reading in times of distress can provide this break while indirectly helping to make sense of the tumultuous events outside the pages.
