Hey readers, I'm Ann Vogel and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 127.

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

and do a little literary matchmaking with one guest.

Jordan Bradley gets great book recommendations from his wife and from his local library

reading island. If that sounds like an adventure you want to go on with us and I hope it is,
