Summary

Today Anne's guest is an Alabama teacher whose love of reading has touched every aspect of his life—from where he met his wife to the theme of his classroom today. Derek is a MATH teacher but he puts his reading right there on the wall for his students to see and he loves talking books with fellow teachers. You're going to love this conversation about his early library adventures, the books he’s passing down to his son, and the gorgeous engagement photos he and his wife took in the library where they met. Derek knows his go-to AND the font that tells him this book is right for him–but he’s challenging himself to try and push some boundaries and not be quite so carefully curated. Anne's challenge is to recommend three books that are right for where he is in his reading life right now.

0:38.3	Readers, I talk about Book Club here on the podcast, but because it's so much more than your
0:42.2	average book club, you usually hear me mentioning an upcoming class or one of our events like
0:46.7	the summer reading guide unboxing, which is just a couple of months away, or at the end of last
0:51.2	year when our team shared their best books of the year. So I don't talk about
0:54.8	our books or author events as much, but let me tell you, they are so much fun. Of course, I can never
1:00.6	resist asking our author guests about their books, the ones they're writing, but we also find out
1:05.2	more about them as people, and importantly, as readers. We get into their process, what they have in
1:10.4	the works right now,
1:11.4	what books are on their nightstand. All of this is greatly enhanced by the show and tell
1:15.9	that we always invite them to bring to our online events. Our next author chat is next week
