Ep 475: Help for a fiction lover who wants to read more nonfiction

All Episodes

April 29, 2025 • 48 mins

Today's guest is an avid reader, retired social worker, and What Should I Read Next? completist who lives in New Jersey. Jill Jaclin has a reading conundrum: she really wants to read more nonfiction, but she's struggled to find a way to incorporate it into her reading life. As she told Anne, she also knows that there are nonfiction books out there that will educate her if only she would take the time to read them. In fact, she's got a whole bookshelf full of books that she's acquired but hasn't touched. Today, Anne helps Jill explore her unread shelf and offers ideas to refine her reading balance in the future. Find the full list of titles discussed today at our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/475. We're just a few weeks away from releasing our 2025 Summer Reading Guide.
