Yeah, that was the goal, it's just to say like, hey, I know you probably got a life and you're super busy and you're probably cooking some good food for people you love in your life.

But over here in Georgia, I need more books. So please help me out.

Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogle and this is What Should I Read Next, Episode 91. 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.

Readers, my book reading people is coming this September 19th. The subtitle of that book is How Seeing the World Through the Lens of Personality Changes Everything. Because this is the story of how my long journey, digging into seven popular personality frameworks, changed my life for the better.

And how you can put those frameworks to work for yourself to make real lasting change in your life, in your work, and in your relationships without going through quite so many hard knocks yourself.

To get yourself in the mood for all things personality, pop over to WhatShouldIReadNextPockast.com slash quiz to take our reading personality quiz. It's fast and free and easy to take and hopefully a lot of fun as well.

Go to WhatShouldIReadNextPockast.com slash quiz to find out which one of nine reading personality types best describes you.

If you want to know more, I made a class for you where I spend an hour diving deeper into all nine types and give each set of readers their own book recommendations.

That class is available for purchase in the shop at WhatShouldIReadNextPockast.com slash shop. It's $15 there. Or you can get it for free when you pre-order reading people.

You also get a free audiobook download of the book when it comes out on September 19th. This is a terrific deal and a rare opportunity to get the book in two different versions plus my reading personality class at no additional number.

Today's guest is Bethany Armstrong, a lifelong reader who describes herself as the kind of kid who always had a book in her hand.

But after studying literature and college, Bethany suffered through a period of bookish burnout. The worst, right?

But a surprising thing reinvigorated Bethany's reading life and you'll hear all about it in today's episode.

Today Bethany's reading life is thriving and in this episode we dive into the specifics. We talk about how it's all about the story for her and why it's important for her to get the balance in her reading life.

She shares the three books she recommends more than any others and she shares the book she hates and I understand why she thinks some of you wants to come after her with pitchforks when you find out what it is.

This is a fun one. Let's get to it.

Bethany, welcome to the show.

Hi, thank you so much for having me.

Oh, it is my pleasure. Thank you for coming on today.

Bethany, we've connected a little bit online but I don't know anything about your reading life. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself as a reader?

Sure, and I think that's funny because I feel like you know a lot about my reading life because I listen to your podcast so much.
