Today I'm joined by NYT Bestselling author, Georgia Hunter, to chat about her novel and its subsequent Hulu and Disney+ TV adaptation, "We Were The Lucky Ones".

I binge watched all of "We Were The Lucky Ones" in one sitting. I then needed to devour the book. This television series and novel could be my favourite piece of media consumed this year. I immediately knew I had to sit down with the book's author, as well as TV series' writer and executive producer, Georgia Hunter to learn more about the genesis of this story, and adapting the book to screen.

This is the story of one family's survival of the Holocaust, told in the most touching, real and raw way. I absolutely loved getting the chance to sit down with Georgia, who's a grandchild of one of the survivors, to learn more about the research that went into writing this book... and the devoting and work that went into adapting this novel in the most perfect 8-episode mini series.

I was on the brink of crying throughout this whole episode. What an absolute privilege it is to connect with Georgia and hear from her point of view what it was like to bring her family's story to the masses, especially during such trying times for the Jewish people.

Today I'm joined by author Renee Carlino, to chat about her new novel, “This Used To Be Us”.

Renee was my first guest EVER on this podcast just over 2 years ago, so I was so excited to welcome her back on the show!! I have loved every single book of hers to date, and knew I would love her latest release just as much.

We spoke in depth about her film background and what it’s been like adapting her books to the screen (her novel “Wish You Were Here” will be released in 2025, with Julia stiles’ directorial debut!) - and how she manages to write all of her novels so cinematically.

The highlight of this episode for me was getting to ask Renee all about her writing process for this newest release in particular (without any spoilers!), especially focusing on the different storytelling techniques, and her inspiration for the story.

I truly loved this episode so much, and am sure you will too! Make sure to check out Renee’s backlist, as well as her newest novel out right now!

Today I'm sitting down with New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Ashley Poston, to chat about her latest release "A Novel Love Story".

I have been waiting and waiting and WAITING to have Ashley Poston on my podcast, and I am so happy to have finally been able to connect with her to chat about her newest book, which is not just a love story between two characters, but also a love story between a character and her love for books. YES THIS IS FOR US BOOKISH PEEPS!!!!

I've never read a "book within a book" prior to this, and Ashley's execution of magical realism is just absolutely PERFECT. We got to chat about her entire writing background, including the wild success of "The Dead Romantics" and "The Seven Year Slip", as well as what she's working on next (y'all won't BELIEVE!)

This was such a great episode, I hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it!
