What Should I Read Next?

Ep 322: The art of a great reading experience

Today’s guest is an oil and watercolor painter with a deep appreciation for the storytelling power of both art and writing.
As a child, Gina Ariko Marioni discovered how language could help her better understand the world around her, and to this day, reading brings her joy.
But lately, Gina's been feeling stuck in her reading life. While she's used to reading a wide range of stories from coming-of-age tales to complex, multigenerational epics, in the past year or so she's found herself either reading extremely serious and weighty non-fiction or breezy, escapist, easy-to-read novels.
Today, Gina is asking Anne for some suggestions to broaden her reading palette. Listen in for recommendations for titles to fill in the gaps of Gina's reading life, and spark the feelings of surprise and delight she's seeking.
Learn more about Gina's art, leave your suggestions for what she should read next, and find the full list of titles discussed today over on our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/322.
