I have been known to read while cooking, showering, walking the dog, and on one memorable occasion, at a concert. On more than one occasion when I have been behind the wheel, I have seriously considered whipping a book out at stoplights to continue a story that has gripped me.
Unfortunately, even though I have tested the limits of where one can responsibly and comfortably read, you can’t read books all the time. And even though audiobooks can scratch the reading itch for many of those instances when it’s simply impossible to bury your nose in a book, there can be times when readers need something a little different.
There’s where reading and book-related podcasts come in. With these podcasts, not only can you listen to people talking about your favorite subject, but you can also get some great suggestions for what to read next and get some new insight into stories, authors, books, and subjects that you hadn’t thought of before.
If you are looking for your next great book-related listen, consider one of these 12 podcasts for bookworms. (See also: 11 Great Apps for Book Lovers)
