Alright, let me kind of spicey question.

I like spicy questions.

I'm excited.

Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogall, and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 301.

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 the 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.

Except for this week when we're sharing a special celebration edition of Ask Us Anything.

We're featuring your requests and questions today, and I'm sharing answers alongside our editor, social media manager, and returning what should I read next guest, Lee Kramer.

Today's episode is part two of our three part, 300th episode celebration.

The final chapter in this particular trilogy takes place on October 7th on Patreon.

The special live event will include interviews and conversation with three of our most recommended and most read What Should I Read Next authors.

If you are not a member of our Patreon community, we'd love to have you join us and tune in on October 7th.

In our 300th episode, we took a look back at where What Should I Read Next began, and I had the joy of sharing some of our team's voices and contributions with all of you.

But we know that the heart of this podcast community is you, our listeners, and we thought it would be fun to spend our 300th and first episode answering your bookish questions.

We've had fun with these mailbag episodes before, here on the show. We've also held Periodic Ask Us Anything sessions over in our Patreon community.

It's so much fun to hear what you're curious about, and I'm really looking forward to diving into your questions today.

We hope you enjoy our answers and that they give you a little more insight into the world of What Should I Read Next.

And also, intimize sometimes strange reading habits.
