Description

We like BIG BOOKS and we cannot lie! In today's episode, Steph and Shan guide us through the world of big books. What are they? Should we read them? What strategies can we use to tackle them? They'll discuss things like choosing the right time to invest in a big book, determining if your lifestyle supports the effort they require, and balancing the completion of a big book with a lighter read. You'll also receive pro tips; such as, using audio books so you can freely move while reading, or buddy reading to keep you accountable, or even finding a condensed Young Readers edition when the big book is simply too much to tackle. Shan will make an argument for why Lord of the Rings is the ultimate big book. And Stephanie will tell us all the reasons why Stephen King should be on your reading list. If you've been intimidated by big books in the past, let this episode inspire you to finally curl up with a hefty tome this winter. Enjoy!
