I ask authors what they read for joy. The answer is always your next favorite escape. What to Read Next is a book recommendation podcast hosted by Laura Yamin — built around author conversations where the most interesting moment is never about the book being sold. It's the hidden gem. The guilty pleasure. The book that has nothing to do with what they write but everything to do with what you should read next. Every episode delivers unexpected recommendations, curated reading guides, and honest takes across romance, cozy mystery, romantasy, women's fiction, and every genre where a great story pulls you somewhere better. Whether you need a book to get lost in, a reading list you can actually trust, or just someone who reads the way you do — this is the show for you. New episodes every week.
