In this episode, I chat with Traci—a lifelong book lover and twin mom—about her reading journey and how it’s evolved alongside parenting. From the books that shaped her childhood to the ways she sneaks in reading time now, Traci shares how stories have always been part of her life. We dive into the joys and challenges of introducing kids to reading, how audiobooks can be a lifesaver for busy parents, and why making reading a family activity matters so much.

Traci also opens up about her approach to reviewing books, curating recommendations for expectant and new parents, and finding the right titles to spark curiosity in little ones. Whether you’re a parent of twins, an avid reader, or someone looking to bring more books into your home, this conversation is full of practical tips, personal stories, and a whole lot of love for reading.
