Ep 15: The audacity to tell people what to read
Anne chatswithMarybeth WhalenandAriel LawhonofSheReads.org, an online reading site and book club for women. Under Marybeth and Ariel’s leadership, She Reads does a terrific job of highlighting excellent titles you’ve never heard of.
These women are writers as well as curators and reviewers:Ariel is the author ofFlight of DreamsandThe Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress.Marybeth is the author ofThe Things We Wish Were True.
This is a special episode: it’s WSIRN’s first freewheeling conversation about book recommendations and the reading life. Anne talks with Marybeth and Arielabout how they became a go-to book resource for thousands of readers, why you have to be a little bossy to recommend books (and why Marybeth and Ariel are overqualified for the job), and how they keep reading FUN even when—and especially when—it’s a job.
