Send us a text[Apologies, listeners! We're re-releasing this one because there was an audio glitch in the original episode. If you've already downloaded the episode from Wednesday, try this one instead!] Happy New Year! There are some beliefs, truisms, urban legends, myths, whatever you want to call them, about books and reading that seem like they just won't die. Do audiobooks really count as reading? Are all readers introverts? Has reading education in schools really gone downhill? Is learning to read a natural process that will just happen organically if we let it? We talk about all these questions and more. Join us for some bookish mythbusting to start the new year!-----------------------Books we're reading in this episode: The Paris Novel by Ruth ReichlThe House Witch by DelemhachThis is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max GladstoneLe Fay (Morgan Le Fay #2) by Sophie Keetch----------------------- Sources: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-biggest-myths-about-reading-booksFive Myths About Reading & How to Put Them to Death (goinswriter.com): https://goinswriter.com/reading-myths/Ten Myths About Learning to Read | Reading Rockets: https://www.readingrockets.org/topics/about-reading/articles/ten-myths-about-learning-readThe Myths About Reading We Need to Bust | LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/myths-reading-we-need-bust-bitelyaiPsst!
