Summary

We're kicking off 2025 with a special episode: today Anne is joined by her husband Will Bogel to discuss Anne's best books of the past year. Every week here on the show, we take a personal approach to the reading life, really digging into what readers love, what they don't, and why. Our conversations are about individual readers and their individual taste, so it's not often Anne shines a spotlight on what she loves and why. But Anne doesn't work in a vacuum: her own reading life plays a role in her recommendations, and today she's sharing some insights into her taste as she shares the books that she loved most last year, and why she loved them. Find the list of the titles discussed today on our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/460, where we'd love to hear from you in the comments section, too. Our Spring Book Preview is just around the corner, on January 16th at 8:30 PM EST. This is an annual event that invites our Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club and Patreon members to join us: we've also got a la carte tickets on sale if you're not currently part of one of those communities. There are so many incredible titles coming out this season, and Anne will be talking about her most anticipated selections with all of you.

0:00.0	If you could see my notebooks of jotting down like my first draft of the 60 titles that I absolutely loved in 2024 and want to share with you, it's a little ridiculous, but I hope a good kind of ridiculous.
0:17.3	Hey readers, I'm Anne Bogle, and this is What Should I Read Next?
0:22.8	Welcome to the show that's dedicated to answering the question that plagues every reader.
0:27.4	What should I read next?
0:43.6	Friends, we have a special episode today. My husband, Will Bogle, is joining me to talk about my best books of the year. Every week, we take a personal approach to the reading life, really
0:48.4	digging into what readers love, what they don't, and why. And today, I get to talk about what I love and why, and I'm really
0:56.4	excited to dig in. This will be our third year with Will joining me more about that in a moment.
1:01.0	But first, we want to tell you about our spring book preview coming up quick later this month
1:06.7	on January 16th. Our seasonal previews are our marquee events for our Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club
1:12.5	members and our What Should I Read Next, Patreon community members. Spring Book Preview, which covers
1:17.8	January to the middle of April, includes a whole bunch of titles I've read, and those I'm most
1:22.5	excited about this season, and I've already read so many. They are so good. This is a great season. At this event,
1:29.6	you'll get a sneak peek at the books everyone will be talking about in the early months of the
1:33.0	year and also those books that might not land on your radar without events like this.
1:38.7	Our Spring Book preview comes with a digital booklet and this year we're doing what we did
1:42.6	in the fall. We're bringing back our printed booklet too, which you can order online. That's an additional option you can choose
1:49.2	if you'd like to. We'd love to have you join us for our live event book party. And also,
1:54.9	if you're on the fence, events like these really help us keep the lights on at Modern Mrs. Darcy
1:59.2	and What Should I read next HQ.
2:05.0	So thank you to those who attend, whether that's by joining one of our communities or opting for the al-a-cart option, which is always very popular. Your support really means that we
2:10.0	can do our work and we're so grateful. It's happening Thursday, January 16th at 8.30 p.m. Eastern Time, of course, we'll have the replay available if you're
2:18.3	unable to join us live, but we'd love for you to join us. Sign up at modern mrs. Darcy.com
