Cozy Reader
Cozy Reader is an anthology of short but powerful scenarios intended to be read slowly and savored. There is no tension in this book. Instead, each scene explores extreme comfort, relaxation, safety, and togetherness. The reader should be able to sink into the settings and benefit from the feelings within.
There are two sections of Cozy Reader. The first section focuses on scenarios involving no other people, such as Baking Cookies or Reading in a Hammock. The second section focuses on scenarios where friends and family are mentioned or present, such as Game Night or People Watching.
Cozy Reader is like a Thomas Kinkade painting, but you read it. It's like a spa day for your brain. It's a comforting ambiance but in words.
