This new episode is about Shelley and Rowena’s two favourite topics—reading and books! They dive into the latest update on their 24 for 2024 reading challenge. It's been a while since they last shared their reading progress, and they are excited to chat about all things reading and books!
Quick recap: The 24 for 2024 Reading Challenge is designed to elevate our nonfiction reading experience by infusing purpose and diversity into our selections.
There's still time to join the challenge, but our main goal remains: (1) to ignite your passion for reading and (2) to broaden your literary horizons.
