In this episode, Anne and Emily discuss the importance of the "beach read," or to use Anne's term, "the cotton candy read." While it's important to read for education and to engage with new ideas and other cultures and/or points of view, it is just as important to read in the pursuit of escapism and joy. Tune in to hear about why people often feel pressured to only read "hard" material, why "cotton candy reads" should make up the majority of one's book shelf, how reading for pleasure can actually help us grow as readers, and much more!
