I'd Rather Be Reading

I just finished Anne Bogel's delightful new book, I'd Rather Be Reading: The Delights and Dilemmas of the Reading Life. The book is full of essays and thoughts about living a bookish life, and in it, Bogel mentions a lot of books. They're not all recommendations, but they're all mentioned somewhere in the book.
