Join us as we chat with one of your most beloved Bookstagrammers Elaineandthebooks. As a leader of the Banned Books book club, and Stephen King 'We All Float' buddy reads, Elaine deep dives into her love of reading, why she is so impassioned about reading about the experiences of others, and why she thinks books are important places where we find validation about ourselves. We loved catching up with Elaine and we hope that you enjoy our chats as much as we did.
