Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I don't know. I kind of feel like, Ginger, you don't need me to butt in with any recommendations. But if I can't help myself, then maybe we'll tag team you, Cheryl.
We could probably give her another 52, like the Anne and Ginger list.
Danger, danger. I mean, honestly, I do feel like I could read another 52 equally valid books, and it would be awesome. Don't do that yet.
Chapter 2: Who is Cheryl and what is her reading background?
Hey, readers. I'm Anne Bogle, and this is What Should I Read Next? 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.
Chapter 3: Why did Cheryl decide to read the classics?
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.
Chapter 4: What are the main themes in Don Quixote?
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.
Chapter 5: How does The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn resonate with modern readers?
And now... Here she is, official in 10 years and counting. Ginger has been instrumental in shaping how our community has grown.
Chapter 6: What makes A Gentleman in Moscow a favorite among readers?
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? Why?
Chapter 7: What insights does Dead Wake provide about historical events?
Who's going to come? Who wants to see that? And now she was right. And it is, I'm going to say, the most fun thing we do all year. if I'm allowed to have many favorites, like we allow our guests on What Should I Read Next?
So it's hard to believe that this year marks our 10th anniversary of Book Club, but it has been so much fun along the way, and we've got great events queued up to celebrate this year. Plus, this is a wonderful time to join because it's summer reading season. Ginger, do you want to share one thing we do in Book Club that you really enjoy?
Oh, yeah.
Totally. I did not prepare her in advance for this.
always glad. I mean, it's probably like you favorite is a category. So this is my favorite at the moment, because we're going to talk about some nerdy fun today. So I love the nerdy classes that we've had things like how to set your reading intentions, things like a great conversation about great books.
I might mention a couple of others throughout this conversation that have impacted my own reading life, but I love to get nerdy with classes.

Chapter 8: How does 1000 Books to Read Before You Die serve as a reading guide?
Ooh, I'm glad to hear it. Okay, I'm gonna go for a tried and true favorite, the Reading This Week Forum. Every Sunday, we kick it off. And by we, I mean one of our members had the idea and now it's a tradition. But every week, whoever wants to, shares what they've been reading that week. And y'all, our members are smart and fun and funny and well-read.
And their little one sentence to a paragraph or two commentary about what they're reading could keep me in books forever. until the end of time. But they also give me the information I need to decide what I'm going to choose to read next. For more from Ginger and more book club fun, join us at modernmrsdarcy.com slash club.

Readers, today's guest recently completed a classics reading project, and now she really wants to keep up that momentum while also bringing more non-classics back into her reading life. This sounded so fun, so intriguing, and I couldn't help but notice that both Cheryl Drury's tastes and her recent focus on the classics make me think of my friend and teammate, Ginger Horton.
As we mentioned above, Ginger is our Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club community manager. And while she and I do have a nice wide space in our overlapping Venn diagram, Ginger has recently been immersed in the classics due to her current enrollment in a Great Books graduate study program. So for Ginger, it's not all classics all the time, just mostly classics most of the time these days.
That's why Ginger seemed like exactly the right reader to bring along for this conversation with Cheryl. Cheryl hails from Charleston, South Carolina.
