Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogle and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 102?

Welcome to the show that's dedicated to answering the question that plagues every reader. What should I read next?

We don't get bossy on the show. What we will do here is give you the information you need to choose your next read.

Every week, we'll talk all things books and reading and do a little literary matchmaking with one guest.

This week, we're hearing a familiar voice. Gretchen Rubin, author of the Happiness Project, and most recently, the four tendencies in which she investigates how different people, or in today's case, fictional characters, respond to internal and external expectations.

Gretchen joined us on the show last fall in episode 52 for our special Kid Week series, because she is a four-racious reader of children's literature.

But today, we're broadening our horizons and talking about books for all ages and books where we see specific tendencies on display.

In today's episode, we dive into habits and happiness, human nature, literary obsessions, and more. Let's get to it.

Gretchen, welcome to the show.

I'm so happy to be talking to you again. It's so fun to talk books with you Ann.

Well, I'm so glad you're back and back in our regular format.

So this is episode 102 of What Should I Read Next.

And I think 96 of our episodes have featured literary matchmaking, where guests tell me three books they love, one book that's not for them, and what they've been reading lately.

And we talk about what they should read next.

But you were, I guess, on our Kid Week special week that we had last November, and you came on to talk about all things children's literature.

And it was amazing.

So readers, go listen to that.

But today, we're having you in our regular format, and I'm so excited about it.

Yeah, that was such a fun conversation.

It's so fun to think about children's literature, but it's also fun to think about adult literature.

So that's what we get to talk about today.

All the books all the time.
