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.

While I love talking about books with readers of all sorts of tastes, sometimes I see a guest submission come across my screen and I think, oh, I know just the team member to have that conversation with.

If you've been listening along for a while, you may remember when a guest needed book picks for a bucket list trip to Australia and Southeast Asia, and I pulled in my teammate, digital nomad Holly Wilkoszewski, to share her recommendations because she had just spent many months in those parts of the world.

Well, today we are back again with a hopefully dynamic team duo.

I hope I'm allowed to say that, Ginger Horton, as she is coming on to help tackle one reader-specific reading dilemma.

We're trying something new today, and we hope you enjoy it.

But first, I want to tell you, readers, we've been having so much fun over in the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club lately.

And it's funny that Ginger's on today because she is our community manager in that space.

Last week, we hosted Cynthia Dupree Sweeney for a live author talk, and it was so fun to bring her back in a sense, though it was our first conversation with her.

But she was a summer reading author in the very first year, back before even Ginger officially joined our team.

And now...

Here she is, official in 10 years and counting.

Ginger has been instrumental in shaping how our community has grown.

And you may not know, but she is also the mastermind behind adding a live unboxing event to our summer reading guide.

So that was Ginger's idea then.

And at first I said, I'm sorry, you want to do what?
