I'm Steph from ⁠@Stephanieshouseofbooks⁠ and today I'm talking to Fox Footy and Fox Cricket commentator, avid bookworm and historical fiction devotee Sarah Jones.

Sarah shares her tips for fitting reading in during a busy day, how she considers reading her meditation, and her ultimate red flags when it comes to choosing a new book.

Plus Sarah shares her favourite tips for developing a love of literature in kids, beyond 'the cat on the mat' readers from school.
