Show Notes and Episode

Quick Summaries: 

• Anne Bogel,  with the Modern Mrs. Darcy blog and What Should I Read Next podcast, is an amazing blogger and podcaster who is at the heart of the bookish world. Our Unabridged crew had the pleasure of reading and discussing her two books on our latest highlights episode.
• Reading People: How Seeing the World Through the Lens of Personality Changes Everything​ - This book discusses how by examining our personality types we can construct a deeper understanding of ourselves as both people and readers. From the publisher, “Reading People explains what makes you uniquely you, what makes the people in your life uniquely them, and why it all matters. “ Anne has researched and compiled information to help us discover more about ourselves in an accessible way.
• I'd Rather Be Reading: the Delights and the Dilemmas of the Reading Life - This one is a collection of bookish essays by Anne. She has the gift of making you feel comfortable and heard within the pages of her book. The essays speak to all the bookish loves, sins, and traps we all fall into.​​

My Take: These books were fascinating to read. I was captivated by Reading People, and I learned quite a bit about my own personality, especially in the chapter on highly sensitive people. I'd Rather Be Reading was a playful and interesting examination of the reading life and its manifestations. 
My conclusion:  I loved both of these books, and they were so fun to discuss with my podcast co-hosts. It's fascinating to think about your personality, and it can be a helpful way to connect better to loved ones and to live a more fulfilling life. The bookish essays within I'd Rather Be Reading were such a joy for my book-loving heart. 
Podcast Highlights: It was both fun and illuminating to discuss the books (and our personalities!) with Jen and Sara. We learned all sorts of things about ourselves, and it was such a joy to explore our bookish loves in our conversation together.
