You’re stressed. Things aren’t going your way today. You’re sitting at a desk, but all you really want to do is snuggle up with a cup of tea in a comfy chair. You, my friend, need some #TLCBooks.

You know what I’m talking about…those books that aren’t actually books, but old friends you turn to when you need comfort. You know them inside and out, they know exactly what to say when you need it, and sometimes you just feel like skipping the party and spending a night in with it. That’s your TLC Book.

You obviously know what TLC stands for, but did you know that it’s also the initials of one of our favorite authors? Tera Lynn Childs signs all of her emails to us the same way:

Hugs,
TLC

How sweet is that? So it’s no wonder that the author of the Sweet Venom trilogy and the Fins series has the initials she does. And the books she writes definitely fit the profile of #TLCBooks. Yes, because she wrote them (duh), but also because they’re light, they’re fun, they’re romantic, there’s just the right amount of page-turning adventure—basically, they’re the perfect books to curl up and spend time with.

What’s your favorite TLC book?
