Every reader has a story, and these are the books that shaped ours.In this episode, we're taking a trip down memory lane and sharing the 10 books and series that formed us into the readers we are today. From beloved classics our parents read aloud to us as children to the stories that sparked lifelong obsessions with fantasy, adventure, and literature, these books helped shape our imaginations, our values, and our love of reading.Along the way, we share family memories, childhood stories, and a little bit of our reader lore as we reflect on the books that have stayed with us for years. If you've ever wondered what made us the readers we are today, this episode is for you.Whether you grew up reading alongside Anne Shirley, journeying through Narnia, exploring Middle-earth, attending Hogwarts, or venturing across Arrakis, we hope this conversation inspires you to revisit the books that helped make you who you are.
