How To Rediscover Your Love of Reading at Any Age

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. Plus, she makes the case for starting with the movie, not the book, and how to set the example of lifelong literacy in a house full of kids. Whether you’re reading your first book in years or your hundredth this year, this episode will help you bring more joy--and more reading--into your life.
