I saw the quote about reading and empathy on WSIRN’s Instagram story this morning and remembered hearing Dave say those very things on SSoP. I recalled it because I have always felt the same way. Turns out it was Dave they were quoting! So fun to listen to the three of you today on the WSIRN podcast!

YAY! I hope you enjoyed the show. I love when we get to talk to Anne — such a great bookish friend.

How fun! Three of my favorite book "friends" all in the same place :) I will give a listen later today.

This was one of favorite WSIRN episodes ever. I have added so many books to my TBR and added your podcast and Substack to my lists

Thank you for your interest: Three Road Scholar Trips: just returned from Bermuda, hiking in Newfoundland and Labrador and NYC: Art Museums in the fall. Plus I'm taking my 33 y.o. youngest to Iceland next month and booked Palm Springs for January 2026 and my happy place this June: Up North in Michigan :) Petoskey and Harbor Springs.

What a fantastic year of travel! I'm quite envious of your hiking in Newfoundland and Labrador! We've had that on our list since our podcast episode about Canada's Atlantic provinces. And NYC in the fall is pretty much perfect. And Iceland! Wishing you many happy adventures! (Thank you for indulging my curiosity/nosiness :-)

I am a completist of both podcasts and love them!!!! Thank you for being readers, travelers and empaths. I wish I was coming to Wales in the fall, however I had 5 trips already booked and had conflicts. Congratulations on the wonderful reception for the Reader Adventure :)
