Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogel and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 158.

Welcome to the show that's dedicated to answering the question that plagues every reader.

What should I read next? We don't get bossing 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.

Readers, we have so much great content coming your way this season right here on the podcast

and also on my blog Modern Mrs. Darcy. Check out modernmissasdarcy.com for lots of great book content

In episode 156, Michael and Smith inspired you to make your bookshelves beautiful.

And today's guest, Whitney Conard, is going to inspire you to cast a critical eye

to where the shelf that holds your unread books. If you have a gigantic pile of books that you own

but haven't yet read, looming somewhere in your house, Whitney totally gets you.

Today we're talking about her Instagram endeavor, the Unreads shelf project, saying goodbye to

reading shame, the right and not quite right times to read. And then at Whitney's invitation,

I get to take a hard look at her unreads shelf and help her decide from the bounce

of a selection of titles what she may enjoy reading next. Let's get to it.

Whitney, welcome to the show. Thanks, I am ecstatic to be here. A little nervous but mostly ecstatic.

What we talking about books, this is your comfort zone. Yep.

Well, I am so excited to talk to you today for a multitude of reasons. But before we jump in,

can you tell me a little bit about who you are, where you live, what you do?
