Life can be tough sometimes. We all have those days when we just need a little something to lift our spirits. If you're feeling down, one of the best things you can do is curl up with a good book. Reading can transport us to another world, make us laugh, and help us forget our troubles for a while.

If you're looking for a book to help you feel better, here are a few of my favorites:
