Discussion Friday

[geraineon]

Let's talk about comfort reads!

Do you have different preferences when you're not feeling well? Or perhaps when you're anxious/sad/angry/other negative emotions?

What sort of tropes/story beats/other things do you look for in your reading material during these times?

I tested negative for Covid, finally! (was down with it for more than ten days...)

During the entire time, I've been indulging in rereading stories, mostly of the funny/tropey variety when I am not watching a lot of dramas. I think I was looking for the "awww so cute" kinda feeling or the "this hurts a little in a 'nice achy bruise' way, but not 'destroy your soul' way."
