Today we’re heading to the coast of Maine… at least in our imagination.

I’m chatting with Amanda Dykes, author of the adult fiction novel, Whose Waves These Are, in a summer episode that celebrates seaside tales. 

In this episode, you’ll hear: 

• how the books we read as children can impact us for life
• the unique way that books transport us
• how books can serve as “functional souvenirs” (the best kind!)

I also answer a listener question about organizing personal vs family books, and how I decide if a book should become part of our permanent collection. (The book I mention in this part is Outside Your Window by Nicola Davies and Mark Hearld.)
