What Makes You Weird Is Your Superpower: How a Simple Binder Keeps My Reading Life Organized

As we head into Labor Day weekend, I’m flexing one of my superpowers: organizing information.

 

In this episode of The Pharmacist’s Voice Podcast, I share the story behind my book binder — a simple but powerful system that helps me keep track of dozens of book recommendations and the 20–30 books I read each year. You’ll hear how I went from barely finding time to read as a busy mom to becoming an audiobook enthusiast with a binder full of possibilities.

 

I’ll also share 26 books currently on my “to be read” list (plus the Spy School series I’m enjoying with my son Kraig). Maybe you’ll discover your next great read from this podcast episode!

 

Even if books aren’t your thing, you’ll walk away with this takeaway: what makes you weird might actually be your superpower. For me, it’s organizing information. For you, it could be something else entirely — and when you embrace it, life gets easier, less stressful, and more fun. You just might help other people too!
