Bookcast Episode 117: Why (and how) do you read so much?

from Books by DL White Bookcast · host Books by DL White

In Episode 117 of The BookCast, I tackle the topic so many readers ask about... how I manage to read 100+ books every year while working full-time and writing novels. I share my reading philosophy, why audiobooks absolutely count as reading, and why I believe the whole "reading competition" debate misses the point of enjoying literature. In other news, I've reached 58 books toward my 100-book Goodreads challenge for 2025 and share recent reads including Happy Land by Dolen Perkins-Valdez and Love, Rita by Bridgette M. Davis. Plus, get updates on Calculated Risk, Baking Bad (releasing April 18), and preorder updates on Ruby's Ten anniversary editions and Drinks at Mink's.For complete show notes including my full reading list and all links mentioned: → booksbydlwhite.com/bookcast/117 Support the showStay connected:Visit my website–Booksbydlwhite.comJoin my newsletter – booksbydlwhite.com/newsletterFollow me on Substack–Main Substack | Short Fiction SubstackBuy books & merch – booksbydlwhite.com/shopSupport this show with a recurring gift at bookcast.buzzsprout.com or Buymeacoffee.com/booksbydlwhite.If you enjoyed this episode, please rate & review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
