Description
Our guest today is Anne Bogel, most recently the author of <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780801094460">Don’t Overthink It</a>, which came out on March 3, 2020. Followers of this podcast who’ve taken my advice may have checked out her podcast, <a href="https://wondery.com/shows/what-should-i-read-next/">What Should I Read Next</a>, where she talks books, reading and recommendations with guests—because I’m a huge fan. Anne is also the author of <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780801072925">I’d Rather Be Reading</a> and <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780801072918">Reading People: How Seeing the World Through the Lens of Personality Changes Everything</a>, the host of a second podcast, <a href="https://modernmrsdarcy.com/onegreatbook/">One Great Book</a> and the blogger behind the <a href="https://modernmrsdarcy.com/">Modern Mrs. Darcy.com</a>.<br/><br/>We talk about genres, owning your expertise, finding your voice and launching a book in a global pandemic. Some favorite advice goes straight to the title of Anne’s latest book: don’t overthink it. Sometimes, the right idea for a book is the one that’s always with you, that you’re interested in, that feels easy and obvious to you because it is—but isn’t such a cakewalk for everyone else.<br/><br/>#AmReading<br/><br/>Anne: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781501176418">Musical Chairs</a> by Amy Poeppel (available July 21st, 2020)<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781250769862">The Switch</a> by Beth O’Leary, who also authored <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781250295637">The FlatShare</a><br/><br/>KJ: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780062444134">The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet</a> by Becky Chambers<br/><br/>Jess: <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781643130644">Wild Horses of the Summer Sun</a> by Tory Bilski<br/><br/><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781538748145">The Boy from the Woods</a> by Harlan Cobin<br/><br/>Thanks to everyone
