You know, I'm driving to work and I'm drinking my coffee and I'm listening to your podcast and then all of a sudden it's like casually mentioned while Sally Rooney has a new book coming out and I am like slamming on my brakes like what?

So, what is the one coming out like what?

Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogle and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 287?

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, as you'll hear in today's episode, our guest is in search of a community of readers who will dig in and discuss books together with enthusiasm and intention.

If you've been looking for such a place for yourself, we're inviting you to the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club where you'll find our members who love reading as much as you do.

We read together every month, discuss books with their authors and host live classes and events designed to help you get more out of your reading life.

We record all our author events and classes so you can join the conversation at your own pace on your own schedule.

And you don't need any social media to participate and get to know fellow readers.

Join us in the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club this summer, as we talk with summer reading guide authors like Emily Henry,

discuss our favorite titles in our discussion forums, and revisit old favorites with our backlist book club.

We've talked with lots of English majors who need a break from the books before finding joy and reading again.

But today's guest is living the opposite experience. Her studies have rejuvenated her reading life and are keeping her love of literature alive.

After graduating from college, Alison Matt is eager to take her book discussions from the classroom to the scenic shores of Lake Michigan.

But as she answers a new season of life without bookish classmates nearby, she's looking for a group of readers to keep the book talk and book racks coming.

Alison prefers to be Twitter and Instagram free, even though she knows there are vibrant book communities on those platforms.
