S. 7 Ep. 154 Around The World Reading: Australia with Guest Lily Raiti

We are back with a global reader episode this week and are traveling to Australia using the magic of the internet. We had the pleasure of chatting with Lily Raiti, an avid reader who lives outside Melbourne and has worked as a personal trainer for 16 years and also does some freelance copyediting on the side.

It’s always fun to hear about what book lovers in other places are reading and Lily had some great indigenous author suggestions for us which we’ll have in our show notes for you to check out. Of course, Lily also had to answer some general Australia questions like how far it takes to fly from one city to another but we avoided anything about Crocodile Dundee.

You can find Lily Raiti on Instagram @lilyraiti.
