This week my friend Amanda White and I are talking about beach reads and books to escape into. Mainly because, as she said, if you can't go on a fancy spring break trip right now, just escape into a book!
We talk about our favorite "comfort food" books, all the time travel stories we can remember, and whether or not "bibliotherapy" is a real word. (Verdict: It might not be, but it should be.) And once again, I try to rationalize romance novels and TV shows about aliens.
