Today’s guest pointed out that we haven’t talked to an abundance of East Coast readers, and today we’re making amends. Karen Weiss is a nurse practitioner in Maine who gets many of her best book recommendations from her teenage patients, and she returns the favor — it’s rare for a patient of any age to leave her office without a book recommendation. Karen loves chatting books so much she talked herself into a job at her local independent bookstore, so ofcourseI needed to find out her secret.

We also discuss Karen’s take on the book—or books—she hates, stunning writers, well-written mysteries, and the awful feeling when a bestseller betrays you.
