Chapter Description:

Want to hang out in New York?

Yes, let\\u2019s go back to pre-pandemic when sidewalks were full, strangers shook hands, and everybody popped in and out of stores like it was nothing. Sound like a faraway dream world? Yeah, it does to me, too. Yet somehow only a few months ago I flew down to New York and hung out in Union Square and The Strand bookstore with literary phenom Anne Bogel.

Anne runs Modern Mrs Darcy, one of the world\\u2019s largest book blogs, as well as What Should I Read Next? and One Great Book, two of the world\\u2019s largest books podcast. Is that all? No, of course that\\u2019s not all! Do you know Anne? She\\u2019s like the Tasmanian Devil. She\\u2019s also a bestselling author and has three books to her name including Don\\u2019t Overthink It, I\\u2019d Rather Be Reading, and Reading People. Oh, and did I mention she\\u2019s the mother of four children!?!?

In Chapter 57, Anne shares why she\\u2019s hesitant to look at people\\u2019s bookshelves when she\\u2019s just met them, what your \\u2018reading life\\u2019 is and how to grow and nurture it, what makes a city liveable, how Anne would organize a bookstore, and, of course, Anne\\u2019s three most formative books.

I am so excited to share this conversation with you. I dare you to listen to Anne and not feel immediately excited to grow your reading life\\u2026

Let\\u2019s go!

What You\\u2019ll Learn:

  • What is your reading life?
  • How do you grow your reading life?
  • What do your bookshelves say about you?
  • How do you lean into reading new narrative structures?
  • What books should you read to your kids to introduce them to death?
  • What would Anne Bogel\\u2019s bookstore look like?
  • How do you measure success?
