Seeing this title, I was enticed to read a book about ... well, books! As a bookworm, I love to hear others gush about their own love of reading as well. In 'Every Day I Read' we follow 50+ short chapters on why we should read, and what we should read! There was a lot of euphemisms and insights I enjoyed in this book, like the reasons we annotate, and nods to reading and anticapitalism. However, ultimately the book fell a bit flat and repetitive to me. It bounced between deeper narratives into broad specifics and just as I'd get hooked on an idea, the chapter would end. Perhaps if the book honed in on a fraction of the ideas and delved deeper it would have been more of a hit for me. But overall I still enjoyed the authors tales of why she reads!

Thank you Bloomsbury USA via Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I love when someone's love of books oozes out of the pages, almost as much as I love books about books. Luckily, this is both!

Why do you read?

I am not sure that I am able to explain why I read. I read every day. I read everywhere.

Reading a book about someone else's experience with reading is interesting, and the suggestions are a great way to encourage increased reading.

All in all, I enjoyed this and recommend it for everyone. It will either resonate or inspire!

Thank you to Net Galley and Bloomsbury for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
