In this episode, I’m diving deep into how reading more fiction has been an absolute game-changer for me. I also spill on how I thought I was banned from the library, how fiction can be simply superior to a 10-step manual, and the books I devoured this month—including the one that had me bawling and reconsidering every other book I’ve ever rated.

Books Mentioned in This Episode:

• Don’t Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen (audiobook on YouTube here)
• Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan
• The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
• Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
• Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid
• Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
• Heir of Flames by Asia Monet
• Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
• White Nights by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
