Join us for Shakespeare Summer!


At the start of a new year, we are overwhelmed with the phrase “New Year, new you!” And of course, we want to be better wives, better mothers, and better people.

This desire to improve ourselves filters into our reading lives, too. It’s easy to justify a lot of our reading if it helps us be better for our families and communities.

But what about reading for fun? What about reading fiction? When you’re a busy mom, is it worth it to carve out time to read just for the fun of it? And how would you even make that time?

But reading for delight is like stopping for water on a long, dusty hike. It’s a lifesource for us mamas. Today, RAR Community Manager Kelsey Murphy joins me to talk about how to be refreshed by your reading life.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • How stories nourish us in essential ways
  • Why you have to give yourself permission to quit books that aren’t working for you
  • The way reframing reading for pleasure will help you make time and model a rich reading life for your kids
