0:00.0	Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogall, and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 58.
0:09.6	Welcome to the show that's dedicated to answering the question that plagues every reader.
0:13.9	What Should I Read Next? We don't get bossy on this show. What we will do here is give you the
0:19.2	information you need to choose your next read. Every week we'll talk all things books and reading
0:23.8	and do a little literary matchmaking with one guest. Today's guest is Jamie Durham.
0:29.0	Jamie lives in Tijuana, Mexico with her family, and for them picking up new books to read means
0:33.7	a trip across the border. Jamie's an ISTJ with diverse tastes. Her favorites are all over the map,
0:39.6	but the book she hates is one many of you have been begging us to feature and that segment of the
0:44.0	podcast. It's a lot of fun. Let's get to it. Jamie, welcome to the show. Hi, thank you. So you're

1:09.2	before you lived in Tijuana? So I've been here for about 14 years, which is crazy. In my mind,
1:16.3	I'm still like 18 years old, so that's crazy. But I grew up in the Northwest in Washington state.
1:23.3	My husband and I, we actually both are from Washington state. He's from the eastern side and I'm
1:28.8	from the western side, but we met here in Tijuana probably about 16, 17 years ago. So that makes
1:35.3	it really convenient when we go visit family and stuff. Okay. So some of our international readers
1:41.2	have talked about the impact and it's not always a good impact that living where they are has on
1:47.1	their reading life, especially when they're connected to what's happening in literature and a lot
1:51.8	of different countries and how it's just frustrating to not be able to get what you want when you
1:55.9	want to get it or to have to wait for delayed publication schedules or to have to pay up the
2:01.0	wazoo to get the machine on when you want to get them. So you're close to the border, but how does
