I really need to make sure I milk my reading time.

And even when I'm reading a book, I find myself thinking,

is this the best use of my time right now?

Like, I don't want to waste my reading time on a book that's not perfect for me.

Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogel and this is What Should I Read Next.

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.

Before we jump into today's conversation, I want to tell you real quick about the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club,

where we are learning to read better together through delightful and ongoing classes, community, and conversation.

One of the things we love best is our regular author chats.

Members chat about each selection all month long at their own pace in our forums,

and then the author joins us to talk about the book and their process and writing life.

This month we're reading Salty, an excellent work of foodie nonfiction by Elisa Wilkinson.

And then in December we're reading Sarah Nisha Adams's Book About Books,

their reading list, and we can't wait to talk with each author about their works.

These events are so much fun.

They're like a bookstore author talk, but chatier and very interactive.

Our members love these.

That's not the only thing that makes the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club unique.
