Co-host of the Tea Time podcast, comedian Harper-Rose Drummond joins Joshua Turek to talk about crying over books and finding security in having three of them on your bed at all times. She describes falling in love with reading again during the pandemic and doing acid with her dad at a Grateful Dead concert right before that. Joshua brings a couple of downer books about the decay of the American empire while Harper sings the praises of a fantasy series called "The Assassins Blade". They also discuss the ethics of reading the popular erotic novel "A Court of Thorns and Roses" on a train.
