Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogall and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 135.

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 this 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.

Readers, guest and author Jen Hatmaker is known for speaking publicly about a lot of things

her to enjoy reading.

Today Jen and I get to chat about the intricacies of her home library, the book that gave her

nightmares, the finer points of humor writing and why she loves it and much more.

Let's get to it.
