Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogall, and this is What Should I Read Next, Episode 104.

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.

First I have another book to our stop for reading people, rapidly approaching.

This one is in the Indianapolis area.

Wild Geese Books is graciously hosting me in Franklin, Indiana, Saturday, November 18th

at 1pm.

Tickets are available at their website, visit wildgeesebookshop.com slash shop to get yours.

We dig into how reading 150 books in a year for the first time represented a silver lining

for her during a really difficult time, and how a nudge from an old boss pointed her to

take her literary life in a new direction.

Today, Alexandra and I chat about her diverse favorites and her role in the diverse books

club, books that make you laugh and cry almost at the same time, light hearted books that

carry meaningful lessons and authors that don't hold anything back.
