Here are the show notes for Episode 24 (Season 3: My Reading Journal Year, Episode 7) of Reading Like an Adult. In this season, I’m sharing my experience from my first year of keeping a reading journal as well as my journey from a year of nonfiction, practical reading tips, and my favorite books of the year so far.
