    8 - What Makes Us Pick Up A Book?
    Mar 23 2021
    Content Warnings: passing mentions of racism, homophobia and transphobia, mentions of stigma against sex workers.

    Here's food for thought: what makes you pick up a book? Is it genre alone? What draws you in? Conversely, what makes you put down a book while reading? What tropes do you avoid? This week, we talk a little bit about our own personal preferences!
