Hey everyone, I'm Ann Bogle, and this is What Should I Read Next, Episode 30.

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,

six-year-old, a four-year-old, and a two-year-old. And so you can imagine having that many boys.
