The three gush about their love of reading from their very first favorite books as young children to what draws them to the books they cherish today.

(Don't miss the full reading list below from this episode!) The episode ends with a speed round of SJP’s auto-read authors and favorite books of the year so far. We hope you can hear the pure passion and genuine joy for reading and books from your hosts Elin and Tim, and this iconic guest and powerhouse publisher, Sarah Jessica Parker!
