You're listening to reading glasses, a show about book culture and literary life designed to help you read better.

I'm writer, filmmaker, and book devour, Mallory O'Mara. And I'm Bria Grant, actress filmmaker, and e-reader.

This episode, we're talking about breaking up

with your bad books and interviewing author and podcaster
