Discomfort Reads

from Bookruptcy

On this episode, hosts Demetria Spinrad and Magali Ferare go deep on what a “comfort read” is, why one might read for comfort, why reading too much romance can leave one with an emotional hangover, and why The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir is Demetria’s perfect comfort read. Dive in with us!
