My Reading Life Right Now: Favorites, Goals & Fermented Cookbooks?! – S4, E39

on August 8, 2025 by Jami Balmet 0 comments

After a few years in a reading slump, I’m finally excited about books again, and this episode is a joyful deep dive into what’s been fueling that spark! I’m sharing my current reading stats (57 books and counting!), how I track my progress, and the quirky way I rotate between fiction and nonfiction to stay motivated.

You’ll hear about the nerdy rabbit trail I’ve been down with fermented and cultured foods (hello, nine cookbooks in a row), the new Hunger Games prequels I couldn’t put down, and the Trim Healthy Mama book that might just be my favorite read of the year. Plus: a sneak peek at my next cookbook project and our upcoming fantasy novel Hearthstead—coming to the app this fall!

If you love books, need a little reading inspiration, or just want to peek at what I’m geeking out over right now, grab your cup of tea (or kefir 😉) and enjoy this cozy, bookish episode.
