Reading Through Life

78: Our Reading Process


Listen Later

Show notes:

We get so many questions about our reading process - where we find books, how we track them, how we decide what to read next, and more. And that’s what we’re talking about in today’s episode. It also highlights the difference between Sarah and Mia’s reading habits. Which one do you think is more organized and which one is more fly by the seat of her pants?
