Anne Bogel

It has a lot of slashes in it where there's three books in the spot on the spreadsheet where one book was designed to go.

And then there's three of those columns for recommendations for each episode.

It's a lot.

And I still get nervous every time because what if I can't think of the books?

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.
