Always Booked

Toxic Reading Rules We Are Leaving in 2025


Listen Later

Reading is supposed to be FUN but for so many readers it’s turned into pressure, performance, and constant comparison.

In this episode of the Always Booked Podcast, we’re breaking down the unspoken reading rules we’re officially leaving in 2025 and the *healthier* reading habits we’re taking into 2026.

From DNF guilt to book count obsession to algorithm driven TBRs, we talk honestly about how modern reading culture can steal the fun and how to get it back.

This episode is for anyone who wants reading to feel fun again.
