About this Podcast:
📚✨ Welcome to The Reading Rift ✨📚 I am Lydia, your new book bestie _____________________________ About Lydia: Lydia is a mom and wife to a writer. After 10+ years of not reading her husband, Sam, brought home Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and told her they were reading it together. "But I do not want to read a book about dragons" She said, but little did she know that reading that book would throw her into a reading addiction and 50 books later in one year she started a bookish Podcast to be her own book bestie hoping to create community for others who love books but do not have anyone to talk to about them.
