Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogle, and this is What Should I Read Next, Episode 99.

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 the 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, one of the easiest ways you can support the authors and podcasters you love is to write a review.

It's free, it's quick, it's easy, but it makes a big difference to us.

If you enjoy this podcast, I would appreciate it so much if you would review it on iTunes.

Your review makes it so much easier for book lovers to find our show.

If you enjoyed my book of reading people, how seeing the world through the lens of personality changes everything,

would you take a minute and leave a review on a site like Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or Goodreads.

Your fellow readers rely on your reviews to decide what to read and listen to next,

and that's why writing a quick review means so much to your favorite authors and podcasters.

Thanks in advance for those ratings and reviews, I appreciate them so very much.

This week I'm chatting with Caroline Weaver, also known as the Pencil Lady,

because by day she owns and operates CW Enterprise, a shop dedicated exclusively to pencils and pencil-related goods,

and Manhattan's lower east side.

My husband Will and I visited her shop when we were in New York and June.

We totally fell in love, and the end result is this episode,

and also kids who are a whole lot happier with the erasers they're using for their schoolwork these days.

In today's episode, Caroline and I talk about the pencil business, and then we dive into Caroline's reading life.

Caroline loves contemporary literary fiction, although that's not all she reads.
