Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogall, and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 262.

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 in the show. What we will do here is give you

Mrs. Darcy Book Club. This is where we gather online for community, classes, and conversation.

like the best books of the year with the whole Modern Mrs. Darcy and What Should I Read Next

Team. Gift memberships are available for three, six, or 12 months and include access to all of

our live events, all of our previous author talks and classes, and all the book talk you can handle.

Choose to email your recipient a confirmation of the purchase or keep it a surprise,

and have the confirmation come to you to share an accord on a bookmark or with a book you're giving

as well. Find out more and get your gift membership at modern Mrsdarsie.com slash shop.
