Chapter 10: Challenge Your Reading with Julie Parr

2020-02-24

Sitting down with one of your best girlfriends and hitting "Record" means anything can happen - and nothing could be more true about my time with Julie Parr. Julie is one of my dearest friends, and she is as full of wisdom and inspiration as she is likely to say something that will make me snort with laughter. Today's interview is exactly what I hoped for - challenging and entertaining. We have always had books in common and today we touch on the value of reading a book that pushes the line and opens our perspective on the world. How ready are YOU to read something challenging, step out of your comfort zone and dare to think differently about what you believe to be true? Books are a fabulous conduit for evolving as a Reader, and I am eager to hear YOUR thoughts on our conversation.

This was my first face to face interview, and I had the microphone setting flipped in the wrong direction (oops), so please forgive me for the imbalanced sound. I will endeavor to make the next in-person interview better, I promise!

Books we discussed:

The Family Nobody Wanted

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

The Hiding Place

The Grapes of Wrath

Beartown

Us Against You

Britt-Marie Was Here

My Grandmother Sends Her Regards & Apologises

Pillars of the Earth
