Summary

,The team at MMD HQ has always been enthusiastic about fall reading. We shared our first Fall Book Preview back in 2019, and last week we released the seventh annual edition. Today, we’re sharing a sneak peek into this year's event that concludes with Anne describing the first three books in our literary and contemporary fiction category. Our Fall Book Preview offers the gentle guidance you’re looking for in selecting your fall reads. This preview and its 35 books are all hand-selected by Anne, and in our Unboxing event recording, she tells you about why she chose every title and why it might (or might not!) appeal to YOU. If this excerpt makes you want to go deeper into this particular type of book talk, you can access your own copy of this year's Fall Book Preview and the Unboxing replay immediately by joining our Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club, our Patreon Community, or purchasing your a la carte ticket.

0:00.0	Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogle, and this is What Should I Read Next?
0:13.8	Welcome to the show that's dedicated to answering the question that plagues every reader.
0:19.1	What should I read next? We don't get bossy on this show.
0:23.1	What we will do here is give you the information you need to choose your next read.
0:34.9	Every week we'll talk all things books and reading. And today, we're talking fall books
0:39.5	with an excerpt from our live fall book preview unboxing event. I've always been enthusiastic about
0:45.1	fall reading, and I know it's not just me. We first started sharing our fall book preview back in
0:49.9	2019. This is our seventh year. But back then, I'd just return from a big publishing trade show to promote my
0:56.1	forthcoming book, Don't Overthink It. And I thought, gosh, our community would love to hear more about what
1:01.1	it was like for me to go to this insider publishing event. So I came back with insights, like which
1:06.5	titles were publishers excited about, which under the radar titles would be harder to discover,
1:11.5	but would people really want to know existed? Which books were booksellers gossiping about over
1:15.7	lunch, and which books were highest on my own reading list because of that fall book,
1:20.5	my own fall book preview. Back then, I thought it might be fun to talk about the buzzy fall
1:24.8	books because there wasn't that much happening in the literary
1:28.1	landscape for fall season. It wasn't anything like summer back then. But those types of insights
1:33.4	are even more helpful these days when we're all searching for ways to cut through the noise of what
1:37.7	feels like endless reading lists. I hope you'll find our fall book preview continues to offer
1:43.0	the gentle guidance you're looking for in selecting your fall reads.
1:47.0	This preview and its 35 books are all hand-selected by me, from among hundreds I could have considered including, and I tell you about why I chose every title and why it might or might not appeal to you in our preview.
2:00.1	We recorded our preview live last week, so it's now available for you to download and enjoy immediately on your own time.
2:06.6	And when I say our preview around here, I'm typically talking about the one-two combo package of our 12-page digital PDF booklet
