E194: For the Love of Reading: 101 BOOKS TO READ BEFORE YOU GROW UP by Bianca Schulze

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Bianca Schulze about her newest book: 101 BOOKS TO READ BEFORE YOU GROW UP.

The amazing book is part book, part journal and is FULL of reading inspiration. From old favorites to newly released titles across a wide range of genres and age groups, readers are sure to find their next reading inside the pages…and then keep reading, too.

Come listen as we talk about how Bianca tackled the challenge of whittling down all the books she loved into a smaller list, the overall themes found across the books and her hope that this book will open doors for readers and their reading life. It’s for young readers and the older reader who hasn’t grown up, too…like me!
