It's that time again for our mid-month check in! This episode was fun to record because I was coming off the high of seeing Jimmy Eat World (for the first time!) at the Red Rocks Amphitheater. The show was one I'll remember all my life! We then pivoted to my new "adult bevs" group on Instagram, book world news, my thoughts on Whistler, and a few other books I'm currently reading.
This week on the podcast, I’m joined by one of my longtime favorite authors and humans, Courtney Walsh, to talk about her uplifting new novel, Brighter Than Before. We chat about second chances, found family, reinvention in your forties, and the courage it takes to become who you really are. Courtney’s books always leave me feeling hopeful, and it’s always such a joy catching up with her about writing, life, and everything in between.Website: https://courtneywalshwrites.com/IG: @courtneywalsh
May was a busy reading month filled with a few highlights, some disappointments, and plenty to discuss. In this episode, I'm breaking down every book I finished, sharing what stood out, what fell flat, and which stories are still lingering in my mind. I kept things as spoiler-free as possible but did warn you that I talk more about the plot issues I had in Life, and Death, and Giants, but I warn you! Hope you had a wonderful month and I can't wait to see what we read in June!Favorites:🎧 Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫🎧 Down with the Shipmans ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The Top of the World ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Really Liked🎧 Both Can Be True ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 A Sociopath’s Guide to a Successful Marriage ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 Villa Coco ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 The Forgotten Midwife ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 Cover Story ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫Just Okay🎧 Good at Being Alive ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫Habits of the Sea ⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 The Summer Share ⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 The Island Club ⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 Austenland ⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 The Midnight Train ⭐️⭐️⭐️Meh🎧 Wasp’s Nest ⭐️⭐️💫🎧 Take Me With You ⭐️⭐️💫🎧 Life, and Death, and Giants ⭐️⭐️💫The Half Life DNF @50%
On today’s episode, I’m joined by bestselling author Meg Mitchell Moore to celebrate her newest novel, Down with the Shipmans, available now. We had such a fun conversation about the writing process behind this summery family drama, Meg’s journey to becoming a published author, and the scenes and storylines that ultimately had to be edited—or completely removed—from the book. We also chat about the exciting events surrounding the release and what readers can expect from this heartfelt story about three sisters returning to their childhood home, each carrying secrets of their own. If you love family drama, complicated relationships, and behind-the-scenes publishing talk, this episode is for you.Website: https://www.megmitchellmoore.com/IG: @megmitchellmoore
I’m back with a mid-year catch-up Q&A episode, and it was really fun to dive deeper into some of the questions submitted earlier this week on Instagram. I share more about leaving the church, how it has affected our kids, relationships with friends and family who are still in the church, and whether we have any interest in seeking out another religion. I also chat about trying alcohol for the first time!!! I discuss more about my job, starting a bookstagram account, making money online, and my plans for the new library space (spoiler: more bookshelves are definitely involved). Plus, I share a little about our summer plans and what our routine looks like this season. I always enjoy these more personal catch-up episodes and hope listeners enjoy getting to know me a little better too!Happy Summer!
This week on the podcast, I’m joined by bestselling author Annabel Monaghan to chat about her delightful new novel, Dolly All the Time — a heartfelt and funny romance about a single mom returning to her seaside hometown and falling into a fake dating situationship with a wealthy workaholic. Annabel is always such a joy to talk to, and her warmth and humor shine just as brightly in conversation as they do in her books. We catch up on life, writing, and all the latest happenings in her world.Website: https://annabelmonaghan.com/IG: @annabelmonaghan
