Have you ever felt guilty or embarrassed of what you were reading? Perhaps you've felt shameful that you haven't read any classics or that your reading preference gravitates more towards romance than intellectual fiction. This episode tackles the subject of reader shame in all of its facets. Whether you feel judged or you tend to do the judging (we're looking at you, Twilight hater), this conversation will engage conversation, encourage reader independence, and maybe convince you to read a book you never thought you could!
