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.

This week, we're giving you the information you need to find out about a whole lot of reads.

We are sharing the excitement of our upcoming summer reading guide that will be our 15th edition, releasing this Thursday, May 14th.

I am joined today by the absolutely perfect guest for this episode.

If I do say so myself, that is our Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club community manager, Ginger Horton, and we can't wait to tell you more.

If you are already a member of our Modern Mrs. Darcy book club or our What Should I Read Next Patreon communities or you purchased your a la carte ticket, you are all set to get the guide on Thursday and attend Thursday's unboxing events at either 1 p.m.

or 8 p.m.

if you'd like to join us live.

Those times are Eastern New York City time.

We are holding two book parties and we call them book parties not because they're parties in the traditional sense.

They're, you know, informative literary events, but we call them parties because they are so much fun.

But there are two events happening live, so you can choose the one that suits you best.

or some readers join us for both.

And if neither time works for you, never fear.

We have the recording for you available beginning very late in the day on May 14th, but anytime thereafter, you have instant access.

Summer Reading Guide veterans make a big deal of unboxing for good reason.

You'll hear Ginger and I talk more about that today.

Readers do things like take the day off work, gather with friends, or plan whole weekend getaways to different cities because of unboxing and the summer reading guide.

With this year's theme of reading retreat, you could even create your own special day to watch the event, peruse your guide, and plan your to-be-read list.
