Summary

Mindy Mejia enjoys propulsive, fast-paced books with strong characters—and she writes them, too! Mindy writes thrillers, or as she calls them “murdery books,” but she reads from a whole banquet of literature. Anne got to talk with her about setting reading intentions, sampling books—which, as you’ll hear, is a bit of a euphemism—and learning about surprisingly fascinating topics as we read. As always, she recommends a handful of books we think Mindy will love, including an upcoming thriller that Anne loved, a nonfiction book she wasn't expecting to be talking about today, and selections from a genre that doesn’t get mentioned all that often around here. To see a list with those titles and all of the books we mentioned visit the show page at https://whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/278.

0:12.1	Welcome to the show that's dedicated to answering the question that plagues every reader.
0:16.5	What Should I Read Next? We don't get bossy on this show. What we will do here is give you the
0:22.3	information you need to show our next read. Every week we'll talk all the books and reading and do a
0:27.5	little literary matchmaking with one guest. Readers, even though I'm the one recommending books to
0:35.0	my guest here each week, I always come away with a recommendation or two or five for myself as well.
0:41.4	This week I added two of our guest favorite books to my own to-be-read list. If you are ever curious
0:46.9	about which books move from my TBR to my currently reading pile, I send an email every Tuesday that
0:51.9	follows our show format. Three things I love, one thing I don't and what I'm reading now.
0:56.4	The three things I love are usually links to reading related articles or bookish news,
1:00.8	and what I'm reading now is typically one of the books on my nightstand or loaded on my phone

1:21.5	and she writes them too. Mindy Mahia writes thrillers or, as she calls them,
1:26.7	murdery books, but she reads from a whole banquet of literature. I had a delightful time chatting
1:32.8	with Mindy about setting reading intentions, sampling books, which, as you'll hear, is a bit of a
1:38.7	euphemism, and learning about surprisingly fascinating topics as we read. As always, I'm recommending
1:45.3	a handful of books I think Mindy will love, including an upcoming thriller that I really enjoyed
1:49.5	myself, a nonfiction book I didn't expect to be talking about today, and selections from a genre
1:54.5	that doesn't get mentioned all that often around here. This is a fun one. Let's get to it.
