What Should I Read Next?

Ep 496: Warm and inviting stories of hearth and home


Listen Later

When the world feels heavy, many of us reach for books. Today's guest is looking for a specific style of comfort reads.

Jemima Welsh is joining Anne today all the way from Brisbane, Australia, where she lives with her family and her pets, including four chickens named for the March sisters. 

Right now, Jemima is specifically looking for books that feel, quite literally, close to home. She's looking for stories that feature warm, rambling houses, complex but inherently lovable and perhaps found families, and scenes of cheerful domesticity. 

Anne shares ideas for Jemima and other readers seeking a similar reading experience. Find the full list of the books discussed at our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/496.
