Hey readers, Anne here with a quick reminder that what should I read next live is happening again.

Thursday, November 4th at the Fabulous Mel at Props Bookstore in Asheville, North Carolina.

6 p.m., free and open to all. Hope to see you there.

Hey readers, I'm Anne Bockel, and this is What Should I Read Next, Episode 103.

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, but 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. Today I have the pleasure of chatting with

Katherine Rhyling, a mom, math teacher, and new Alaska resident whose go to genre is historical

fiction, but she doesn't want to read it all the time, and that's where I come in. As you'll

hear, her three favorites are seasonally appropriate and have something strangely specific in common.

Today we also dig into libraries versus use bookstores, copycat books that miss the mark,

and the perfect climate for curling up with a thick book. Let's get to it.

Katherine, welcome to the show. Thanks Anne, I'm excited to be here.

So Katherine, you just mentioned when we were chatting before we officially began on the record

that your family just moved to Alaska, which I have had on my mind because I just finished my first

A1IV novel, The Snowchild. Oh, that's such a good book. Yes. So did you read it before you moved?

Yes, I actually read it a couple years ago, and she lives on an hour north of me and works in a book

store up there, and I'm dying to go and like, Sarah Pticiously meet her. You know what I'm going to

pick fan, I love your books. At the time did you have any inkling that you would be in Alaska right now?

No. How did you end up there? And where are you? I live in Anchorage. My husband is in the Air Force,

so we got stationed up here, and we were really excited to be here. We wanted to try living in Alaska.
