Their friends were amazed that like this four-year-old can read,

but then they would look closely and like the book is upside down.

Ha ha ha!

Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogall,

and this is What Should I Read Next, episode 218.

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, it is always fun to read through the guest applications you all send in,

at WhatShouldIReadNextPodcast.com slash guest.

You fill our inbox with stories, goals, hilarity, and so much heart.

One particularly memorable application didn't come from today's guest, Anna Mittler.

It came from one of her best friends, Charlotta,

asking if we could make What Should I Read Next, a part of Anna's upcoming wedding.

I don't want to spoil the story before Anna has a chance to tell it herself,

so I'll just say that it took a full year to stitch the pieces together

and get this episode to your ears,

and I hope you love Anna's story as much as we loved making it happen.

Let's get to it.
