Anne Bogel

I'll remember tomorrow when I'm walking the dog and then I'll email the guest.

That's what happens.

Cheryl, we're glad you're here.

What I like to tell all our guests is if we could work this out across time, space, and just...

logistics of talking and drinking coffee on mic at the same time.

I wish we could just do this at my local coffee shop.

We'd just be three readers around the table talking books.

We would not be nervous a bit, except maybe when we first walked in the door and had to wave and go, hi, it's me.

Are you Anne?

That would be the only awkward part.

And then we'd just have a wonderful conversation.

Well, Cheryl, tell us more.

We have already learned that Charleston is near and dear to your heart.

And we really want to give our readers a glimpse of what the life of our guests is like.

That sounds lovely.

Cheryl, tell us about your reading life.

I love the metaphor you shared in your submission about beginning to read the classics.

It might just have been unique to the Russians, but do you remember what it was that you could share with us?

Yeah.

Well, you may have just begun to answer the question that I was formulating, which was, I think a lot of readers would have been like, guess this isn't for me.
