The main female character is so wishy-washy.

I just wanted to shake her and say, stop doing this, you can't steal this baby, this is wrong.

Hey readers, I'm Ann Bokal and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 151.

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.

Today I'm having a delightful chat with Maria Rebus, a literary agent who represents the author's

populating the candy aisle of the bookstore, gorgeous full-color cookbooks.

So yes, she totally has it covered in the nonfiction and self-help department as you'll hear,

but her fiction game could use a little freshening up and that's where I come in.

Whether you'd like exploring the stories behind a great recipe,

letting a lush historical novel sweep you away, pumping yourself up with a snarky self-help book,

today's episode will nourish your readerly soul.

Let's get to it.

Maria, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much for having me, Ann.

What Should I Read Next listeners love to get a peat behind the scenes of how the books they

love to read and use in today's case, cook from, get put together.

So I'm really excited to talk a little bit about I don't want to say how the sausage gets made,

although it's more appropriate than ever with someone who does your job.
