In this episode of the Nurturing Librarian podcast, Nicole introduces the concept of a 'time audit' to help listeners find time for reading. By analyzing daily routines, she suggests identifying overlooked opportunities, such as commutes or waiting periods, that can be transformed into valuable reading time. Nicole argues that reading should be prioritized like other self-care activities, proposing a shift from mindless phone scrolling to more meaningful engagement with books. She offers practical tips tailored to individual preferences, highlighting audiobooks as a versatile solution for busy schedules. After all, listening to books is reading, too. The show finishes with book news and recs including the National Book Awards and an overlooked gem from last year, Curious Tides.
