‘I’d Rather Be Reading: The Delights and Dilemmas of the Reading Life’ by Anne Bogel

The sub-title of this book says it all. It’s a nice little volume of bookish essays about reading, mostly for book nerds. It’s nothing profound but a nice love letter to the reading life and some kinship in commiserating about possible perils and pitfalls.

The author is, however, someone that book lovers should be familiar with if they aren’t already, because of her podcast called What Should I Read Next (search for it on iTunes or in your favourite podcast app) and her blog called Modern Mrs. Darcy. Both have many helpful suggestions for reading choices, whether old favourites or what’s new!
