Reading Is Good For You

What this episode covers

Books are my happy place. When I was younger and read something that moved me or something that I recognized as being superbly crafted, I would sleep with the book under my pillow, hoping to absorb the talent. Even as my job revolved around writing, the act of reading has always felt important and constant. And Traci Thomas, host of The Stacks, feels exactly the same way.IndulgenceNichole recommends saying no.GuestsTraci Thomas is the host of The Stacks, a weekly podcast about books and the people who read them, where she interviews authors and other book lovers about their relationships to books.
