1.8 Re-Reading Childhood Favourites

Listen Later

Welcome back to another minisode! This week my topic of discussion is re-reading books, specifically childhood favourites. I talk about what happens when a re-read is disappointing, and why I’m scared of re-reading my Jacqueline Wilson favourites. Let me know if you like re-reading, and what the experience is like for you!

A full transcription is available on my website here.

The next discussion pick is The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
