Holly, I gotta tell you I'm taking notes and circling the ones that sound really interesting.

I just circled them all.

Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogall, 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.

Or in today's case with one host.

And I'm so excited for that.

Readers, over the past 370 episodes, I've had so many amazing conversations with readers, authors and book lovers.

And I have added literally thousands of books to my personal reading list as a result of those discussions.

But here at What Should I Read Next HQ, we realized that it has been ages since we last asked you for recommendations about what I should read.

In fact, the last time we did this was an episode 62 all the way back in 2017.

Readers, we were overdue.

So, if you tuned in a few weeks ago, in episode 367, you heard me share about my reading life lately, including three books I've loved and one that didn't work for me, before asking for your recommendations.

So many of you responded and are curious about what you'd like to read.

And in the end, I'll be very excited to read them.

So, I'm going to read a few of these books and read some of the books I've been reading and do a few of them.

So, if you tuned in a few weeks ago in episode 367, you heard me share about my reading life lately, including three books I've loved and one that didn't work for me, before asking for your recommendations.

So many of you responded and our team has had a blast pouring through your voicemails with your suggestions.

Today, I'm joined by our media production specialist, Holly Wilkiteski, to hear your recommendations.

Talk about the books you all loved and decide what I want to read next.
