Anne Bogel

But our main focus today is on Kate's reading life.

She's interested in building out a deep reading roster for the kinds of books she especially enjoys.

Books featuring literary women, books where an investigation or detective work is a big part of the story, books that center on a house, and nonfiction about creative and artistic women in history.

She's also very interested in finding more books with magical realism and ghosts, and had some interesting thoughts to share in this vein connecting Stephen King and Ellen Montgomery, if you can believe it.

Stick around to hear more.

Let's get to it.

Kate, welcome to the show.

Oh, well, thank you.

I'm so excited to chat.

And I have to tell you, when you wrote in to our submissions inbox about your work as chair of Ellen Montgomery Studies, which it makes me happy to know I live in a world where such a role exists, our team members who review those all said, hey, hey, I think now's a good time for a conversation about Anne.

Not just about Anne, but I'm happy to talk a little bit about Anne of Green Gables today.

I've been looking forward to this.

Have I said out loud how much I've been wanting to reread specifically The Blue Castle recently?

But I'm sure that's just going to set me down all of them.

But I have to finish my summer reading guide reading first.

That's where I am right now at the moment we're recording.

I was not aware I did that, though.

Is it really?

Okay.

Well, I have a beautiful edition in my library.
