Laura, welcome back.

Thanks.

Let's do that again, you're right.

Wait, I wasn't ready.

Hey, Raiders, I'm Ambogal, and this is What Should I Read Next, Episode 68.

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 do that, I want to ask that if you enjoy this podcast, please take a minute and rate and review it on iTunes.

The ratings and especially those reviews truly help your fellow book lovers find the show in iTunes, so thank you for spreading the book love.

Today's guest is Laura Tremaine.

You may know her as the Hollywood Housewife, thanks to her former blog.

You may know her as a co-host of the Sorta Awesome podcast, or the host of the podcast, the smartest person in the room.

If you know Laura at all, you know she's a devoted reader.

I always love to hear her thoughts on what she's reading, even though, or maybe especially because, our taste is not the same.

We cover a lot of bookish ground in this episode.

We discuss the author Laura thinks is underappreciated, even though he's a huge commercial success.

We touch on how competition and insecurity in the reading world are real things.

And we cover Judy Bloom, Reese Witherspoon, Book Clubs, and How Plot Summaries Are The Worst.
