S2E3: Resisting the Bookstagram Hypnosis and Evolving as a Reader

When we sat down to reflect on how our reading habits have changed or evolved over the years we quickly realised that this could not be a one-dimensional conversation.  As a starting point, we sought to answer the question, 'Why do we read?' And with so many things influencing why and how we read, we had to go back to the beginning to unpack. We take a journey back in time and reminisce on our reading evolution from reading age inappropriate books as pre-adolescents to reckoning with the influence of social media on our reading choices. We pose the question to the listener, what has been your reading evolution story? 


On this episode;

- We reflect on our early influences on reading and the kind of books we read growing up

- We talk about coming into our consciousness and being deliberate with our reading choices 

- We talk about how Bookstagram algorithm has affected our reading choices and debate whether this is a good or bad thing; and

- Finally, we talk about our intentions moving forward. 


Join us as we take several tangents, all worthy of your time, with this conversation
