This book was initially banned.

Church officials really campaigned against this book,

because I don't want to reveal the twist.

I'm sorry, am I selling this at all?

Hey readers, I'm Ann Boko, and this is What Should I Read Next, Episode 152.

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.

This is a show where we celebrate the delights and dilemmas of the reading life,

which is exactly what I do in my new book I'd rather be reading, just out September 4th from

Baker Books. Readers, thanks so much for your support here. I so appreciate you reading it,

sharing it, checking it out of your library, and buying it for your bookish friends.

At book signings this fall, some of you have brought me two, four, seven,

even ten copies to sign all at once, because you bought copies for all your reading buddies.

I appreciate that so much. Readers, when you pick up a copy of I'd rather be reading,

or ten of them, if you're buying for your whole book club, you truly do support the show and the

work I'm doing here. If you've read it and enjoyed it, leaving a review would be much appreciated,

because your fellow readers rely on them when they're deciding what they should read next.

I so appreciate you reading, sharing, and spreading the word about I'd rather be reading.

Readers, I would love to meet you until you thank you in person. Come see me on my book tour.

This week I'm in Texas, then it's on to Colorado, the West Coast, Nashville, and Cincinnati.
