It's timeeeeeeeeee!!!! ⁣
⁣
Today I’m joined by contributing editor at Vogue and freelance journalist, Michelle Ruiz, to recap the movie adaptation of our shared favourite book, Robinne Lee’s “The Idea Of You”. ⁣
⁣
I first heard of Michelle when she wrote an article for Vogue back in 2020 about my favourite book. Since then, we’ve both been anxiously awaiting the release of the book’s screen adaptation, a movie now available to stream on Prime Video starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, and directed by Michael Showalter. ⁣
⁣
I am THRILLED to have Michelle on the show today to dive deep into both of our POVs on this adaptation. As (very) passionate fans of the book, you can imagine we have some critiques. However, what we can say, is that you have never listened to a more comprehensive review of a book to screen adaptation EVER!! ⁣
⁣
Both of us would love to keep the conversation going, and are looking forward to your thoughts! Please, please, please chime into the conversation below - and share your perspective on the adaptation. We can't wait to hear what you think, too! ⁣

Today, my worlds are colliding. I am SO excited to share that I am sitting down with debut romance author and former ABC's Bachelorette, Hannah Brown, to discuss her upcoming book "Mistakes We Never Made".

Prior to joining Bookstagram, I was all about creating online content revolving around ABC's The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise -- so what a treat it was to be pitched an opportunity to sit down with one of my favourite leads ever - Miss Hannah B!!!!

Hannah's autobiography "God Bless This Mess" was one of the earlier books I reviewed on my page, so I was so thrilled to get to chat with her all about her experience writing a fictional romance novel. We of course chatted all about her time on reality TV, the characters she met and the experiences she lived through - which all then played a major hand and somewhat of an inspiration to the characters, tropes, and plot lines in this book!

This was SUCH a fun episode to record, and I can't wait for you to all listen to it! Since the book releases next month (May 7), this episode is completely spoiler free and the best prequel for pre-ordering your own copy right now!

Today I'm sitting down with author Kelley McNeil to chat about her latest release, "MAYLUNA".

This book has been taking over my social media feed for weeks, so I knew I had to reach out to Kelley to chat with her! If you're someone who is a fan of music love stories, particularly The Idea Of You, Daisy Jones and the Six or Almost Famous... this book is for YOU!

We didn't go too deep into the story with this one, because it's best to go into the book blind! But what a fun conversation!

Today I'm joined once again by romance author extraordinaire, Tia Williams, to chat about her newest book, "A Love Song For Ricki Wilde".

Tia has been one of my favourite romance writers for a few years now, so I am so excited to have her back on the show to chat about her newest book. Since we last connected, Tia's writing career has continued to blossom.

Her book "The Perfect Find" was turned into a Netflix film, her other novel "Seven Days In June" is currently being adapted into a TV series where Tia serves as an Executive Producer, and she managed to write this latest novel in the shortest amount of time!!

This was such a fun conversation. I loved getting to chat with Tia about what she's been up to, and really dive into the inspiration behind this story, the research that went into it, and all of the characters - without any spoilers!

DID YA MISS ME?! Today I'm joined by screenwriter-turned-romance author Alison Rose Greenberg, to chat about her latest book "Maybe Once, Maybe Twice".

Alison's book is my favourite read of 2023, and upon reading it I immediately knew I had to come out of my winter hibernation, and record this very special episode for all of you!

We spoke in depth about Alison's writing background, the inspiration behind this story in particular, how she managed to write a love story in THREE different timelines, some of the really tough but important plot lines included, AND THAT ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was such an incredible episode to record, as I learned so much from Alison's POV and *somehow* fell even more in love with these characters (didn't know that was possible!!)

Speaking of these characters, you will definitely want to listen to the end of this episode as there may or may not be a MAJOR teaser on Alison's upcoming book about a character you may want to hear from.....

Thank you to each and every listener for an incredible 2023! My plan is to be back in Spring 2024 with more regular podcast episodes. That being said... you may hear from me sooner ;)

Today I'm joined by debut romance author Kate Goldbeck, to chat about her new book "You Again".

I was so excited to chat with Kate after reading her book - since it reminded me so much of one of my fave romcoms "When Harry Met Sally". I was in for such a treat as to where this conversation would go!!

From learning about Kate's writing background, to all of the personal anecdotes and learnings she put into this story - it was such an interesting conversation. I loved all of the representation in this book and it was so nice to dive deep into the inspiration and intention behind them with Kate.

Today I'm joined by romance author Lindsey Kelk, to chat about her latest release "Love Me Do".

I was so excited to have Lindsey on the show since she has written so many iconic romcoms throughout her career.

This chat was such a pleasant surprise! I learned so much about the trajectory of her career, what it's like to adapt a novel into a screenplay (yes, there are some very exciting projects in the works here!) and then of course all about her latest release and the inspiration behind its plot line and captivating characters.

Enjoy!!

Today I'm joined by bestselling romance author, Jean Meltzer, to talk about her latest release "Kissing Kosher".

I've been a fan of Jean's writing since her debut romance book, "The Matzah Ball", was published a few years ago. She is one of the first Jewish romance authors I really resonated with, and it's been such a pleasure watching her career flourish!

In this episode we chat about the beginning of Jean's career (who knew she moved to Israel and went to Rabbinical school.... after being nominated for a Daytime Emmy for a career in TV writing?!), what is going on with the movie adaptation of "The Matzah Ball" (and all the epic stars currently attached!!), and of course the genesis of her latest book and the most important key themes surrounding chronic illness and intimacy.

I LOVED this conversation, and know you will too! I was grinning from ear-to-ear while recording it, and hope you feel the same while listening!
