Anne talks with Jacey Verdicchio from the Around The Table podcast about books that make her feel smart, books that make her feel not so smart and all the other books that she just loves to read.
We discuss the inner battle between reading what you love and reading what you feel like you should love. I recommend three bittersweet books that Jacey can enjoy without second-guessing herself about her taste.
