[BONUS] Medium Lady Reads Episode 1: The Books that Made us Readers

Medium Lady Talks

Hello and welcome to Medium Lady Reads! This is a podcast about books and reading as self care, and today Medium Lady, Erin Vandeven and her co-host Jillian O’Keefe embark on a new project, the very first Medium Lady spin off podcast, which will be entirely book focused.

In this first episode, Jillian and Erin discuss how this dream host matchup came to be and what you can expect in future episodes.

Erin and Jillian briefly discuss how their reading is currently going, and how they sometimes come up against their own self-imposed reading rules and how they work to push through them.

This week’s theme is "Which books turned you into a reader?"

When it comes to reading, Jillian and Erin don't really believe that there's a right or wrong way to do it. Audiobooks, ebooks, physical, whatever works for you works for them. Regardless of how you intake your books, there were that book or books that sparked the love of reading for you as a child, or even as an adult, as Erin and Jillian will share in this episode.

These are the books that stand out, and bring a sense of joy whenever you think of them!

It’s fun to dive into this topic because you never know what books someone is going to mention – they run the gamut!! You’ll notice that’s even true between the books that Erin and Jillian share in this episode.

Two of the individuals mentioned in this episode were Lis (@everyoneslibrarian) and Hodges Soileau (@hodgessoileauartist).

If you enjoyed this episode we would love if you recommended us to a friend or loved one. Be sure to take a screenshot and share on Instagram stories, and be sure to tag both Jillian (@jillianfindinghappy) and Erin (@medium.lady) so that they can reshare the love!

Thanks for listening and be sure to tune in on June 26th for the next Medium Lady Reads podcast episode.
