March is National Reading month and we are kicking off the month with a special guest who has a rather radical reading agenda: Amanda Spencer.

Amanda is a Get Lit(erate). listener who is reading to change the way she thinks about the world and is inviting all of us along with her to do the same. 

Today, she talks about her reading life, her radical agenda, both figuratively and literally, and recommends a few books she thinks we all need to know about to help us read with a radical agenda, too. 

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
