If your waiting-to-be-read pile keeps growing but your motivation to read keeps shrinking, you're not alone. This week, Janssen Bradshaw from Everyday Reading joins Lisa to help us fall back in love with books. No guilt. No pressure. Just practical ways to make reading feel doable again. She shares tips for easing back in with audiobooks (even if you think they’re not for you), making time to read in the margins of a busy day, and quitting books that aren't for you.
