Tea or Books?

#131: Do We Read Deeply or Shallowly? and One Year’s Time vs Which Way?


Listen Later

Angela Milne, Theodora Benson, and reading deeply – welcome to episode 131 of Tea or Books?!

https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/tea-or-books-131.mp3

In the first half of the episode, we discuss a topic suggestion by Heidi – do we read deeply or shallowly? Do we like critical editions? Or do we just ‘switch off’ and enjoy? In the second half, we pit two British Library Women Writers titles against each other – Which Way? by Theodora Benson and One Year’s Time by Angela Milne.
