Hey everyone, I'm Ann Bogle, and this is What Should I Read Next, Episode 23.

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.

Today's guest is Mallory Reese. Mallory came to me with a special request.

She's getting married next month, and she wanted good books to take on her honeymoon.

I was more than happy to apply to her fund request.

So many of you have asked on Instagram and in comments on what should I read next podcast.com

if I will ever have a regular reader on the show. This surprised me a little bit because we've

had quite a few of those already. I guess everybody sounds good on a podcast. Maybe they sound

like pros. There's a form on the podcast site where you can submit your own name or someone else

you'd love to hear from to be a guest on the show. You can find it at What Should I Read Next,

podcast.com slash guest. For today's episode, it doesn't matter what your relationship status is,

because what Mallory really is looking for is classic summer reads. While I totally agree with

Ann Patchett that a beach body is a body that's on the beach, and a beach read is any book you take

there. I know I'm not the only one that especially enjoys a good page turner in the summertime,

and that's exactly what we're looking for for Mallory today. Let's get to it. Mallory, welcome to the

show. Thank you. I'm so excited to be here. Okay. Well Mallory, you are in an exciting

way in a life right now. Tell us a little bit about yourself and what's going on this spring.

So I'm getting married a month from today in Los Angeles to my boyfriend or fiance of

and we've been dating for nine years. And I am looking for a great set of books for my honeymoon,

because I'm an avid reader and I take my vacation books very seriously.
