Beloved writer, teacher, bibliophile, and Thurber Prize semifinalist Shannon Reed joins Zibby to talk about her whip-smart, hilarious collection, WHY WE READ: On Bookworms, Libraries, and Just One More Page Before Lights Out. Shannon describes her lifelong passion for reading, starting with her grandmother teaching her how to do it when she was just two. She also talks about the impact of her hearing impairment on her love of reading and the challenge of finding time to read (ha!). Finally, she hints at some potential future projects.
