Chapter Two: Why Books Still Matter

In this episode of A Life in Chapters, I’m talking about books — not in a critical or academic way, but in a deeply personal one.

I share how reading shaped me as a child, from fairy tale marathons to daily story sessions in my parents’ toy shop. And I talk about why books still matter now — how they comfort us, transport us, and remind us who we are.

This isn’t a review podcast. It’s a celebration of the emotional connection we have to stories… and why that connection still matters in a noisy, fast-moving world.

📌 In this episode:

• My earliest memories of reading (and reading to people)
• Why a glamorous toy shop employee helped make me a lifelong book lover
• The quiet magic of checking out 12 books at a time — and begging for more
