Books Songs and Other Magic | Defending Reading For Pleasure (A Rant - Response) @hardysbooks @bookssongsandothermagic | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
This is a response video to a great video put out by @hardysbooks, a brilliant channel I have just discovered - go and check out their videos, they are awesome.
Their video was about reading for pleasure and how important it is to remember that - reading is for fun and should always be a positive thing.
As they say in their video, pursue joy and let your freak flag fly.
I also mention Garbaugust, as it's great timing, being such a celebration of fun reading : -
