I was so excited to welcome Jaclyn Westlake to the podcast for her latest romcom meets women's fiction, Lucky Break. Set in a small lake town, Eliza is ready to start over after her engagement crumbles. Setting alone will have you basking in the last final moments of summer.

Jaclyn was such a blast to chat with! We talked starting over, saying YES, romcoms, Bravo, writing and much more. If you are looking for a summer read finale filled with heart, look no further!

Take a look into the dark side of the art world with Anna Barrington's debut, The Spectacle. Hailed by People as a "social thriller", it is the perfect thriller to enter into fall or celebrate the end of summer.

I was so excited to chat with Anna (OG MA girl) , all the way across the pond, about her experience in the art world, the #METOO movement, why thrillers and much more.

Back with a new episode that has old Hollywood, glam, mystery and so much more. I had the best time welcoming first time author, Melissa O'Connor to Books are Chic. We were celebrating her debut, The One and Only Vivian Stone- hailed as "sparkling" by Abby Jimenez. A little romance, a little historical fiction and mystery make up this addictive read.

Melissa and I chatted our love for old Hollywood, Lucille Ball, celebrities, some Bravo ;) and a lot more. Melissa is one to watch!

What an author to have join me on my 50th episode of the year! Iconic, thoughtful and legendary writer, Mary Alice Monroe joins me this week on the podcast. We celebrated her latest masterpiece, Where the Rivers Merge, an epic, sweeping, historical story about friendship, humanity, love and trying times. It is a story Mary Alice tells so beautifully.

She and I chatted history, our legacies, friendship, the south and its natural habitat and so much more. This conversation was insightful, inspiring and joyful. Mary Alice is a lover of books, nature and so much more. I absolutely will cherish this conversation and the time we had to talk.

What a guest to welcome in August! Megan Miranda is a thriller queen and her latest, You Belong Here is no exception to her collection of masterpieces. College drop off can be heartbreaking enough for any parent but when there is a dark past associated with it, it can be a nightmare- this is the backdrop to this summery thriller.

I had so much fun chatting with this OG Reese Witherspoon bookclub pick about the inspo for this book (her own mother/daughter college tours!), thriller life, being part of the Reese's "sorority", her current reads and so much more!

Oh how I love a summer romcom with a magical twist! Do you? If so, The Art of Vanishing by professional book queen, Morgan Pager. I have been a longtime follower of Morgan as she is a top bookfluencer and now we were able to come together and celebrate her debut. History, art, romance, shall I go on? If you love A-Ha's Take on Me music video, this book will hit the heeartstrings.

Morgan and I chatted her colorful, bookish career, the shift to writing, books we love, broadway and so much more. I can't wait to see what more there is to come from Morgan!

Beyond ecstatic to welcome best-selling author, Karen White to Books are Chic! We were celebrating her latest, That Last Carolina Summer- a perfect blend of drama, mystery, family and romance.

I had the best time chatting with Karen about her career, writing inspo (Outlander for the win!), ghosts, the south and so much more. She is the real deal having more than 20 novels in her back catalog. I could have chatted with her for hours! Grab any of her books and you will be a fan for life!

A little Indiana Jones and a little Romancing the Stone are what make up, Heart Marks the Spot. A treasure hunting romcom with a bada** leading lady and a dreamy author. I loved welcoming Libby to Books are Chic! We had the best time chatting romance, writing, the TV show Outer Banks, Key West, treasure hunting, no topic was off limits. This was such a fun chat and an even more fantastic read!
