Chaotic, sometimes murderous feel-good stuff
Look, I appreciate Cozy Fantasy and other cozy reads... but, to me, there are other books which fulfill the function of giving my brain a break and helping me relax and leave behind the stress of the real world. So this is a list of feel-good, "cozy" reads for all of you who don't find the usual cozy reads relaxing. Enjoy.
Books to Run Away With
The world scares me sometimes, and I need to run away. These are the books that let me escape for a while. I can't promise they are any less scary - but at least they are different!
