Megan's Bookish Life was absolutely honored to have on Payton from the makeup influencer account, Paytons.Makeup!

With over 2 million followers on TikTok and 364K on Instagram, Payton is an all around icon (says me and also everyone who meets her.) In her first ever podcast episode, she chats about how she started doing her own makeup in high school, how her Instagram account shows a more personal side of her that TikTok doesn't usually see, and she spills about if her cosmetics brand will be making a comeback (OMG!)

** FUN GIVEAWAY! At the end of December, Megan's Bookish Life will be having a giveaway called Payton's Picks. It will be a little goodie box of Payton's current favorite things, so follow me on Instagram for news of when to enter!

Megan's Bookish Life was joined on the podcast by author Elizabeth Hunter!

Elizabeth and I chatted about how she celebrates her release days, the way she knows what a new series will entail before she writes book one, and how I may have changed my answer to the question "if you could be one or the other, would you be a vampire or werewolf?"

Megan's Bookish Life had a great time chatting with multi-genre author, McKenzie Burns!

We talked about how McKenzie had some of her writing published in a magazine when she was in high school, how I, Megan, am a huge fan of authors writing different genres, and what is McKenzie's favorite time of year is to eat soup!

+Megan’s Bookish Life is a huge supporter of indie bookstores and the other day, a Chicago indie called Volumes Bookcafe, had to close after a decade because a Barnes and Noble opened down the block from them recently. I asked Chicago based Three Avenues Bookshop if I could link their Bookshop.org in my show notes when applicable. So when you see a + next to a link, you're supporting indie bookstores :)

Megan's Bookish Life was so excited to have environmental scientist and author, Shannon Jade, on the podcast!

We chat about how Shannon was able to be apart of a Rebel Girls book, how much Megan loved A Song for the Earth (even though she is still spiraling about the trash vortex in the ocean after learning about it in this book), and what message Shannon wanted readers to hopefully take away from her lyrical prose book.

I had such a fun time with author and literary event planner, Chiamaka Okike, who joined me on Megan's Bookish Life Podcast!

We chatted about the beginning of how she started putting on her own book events (the tea is hot but the outcome is even better), the ode she wrote to London via her book Seeri, and how her personal essays show her vulnerable side.

Megan's Bookish Life had the honor of having romance author, C.R. Jane on the podcast!

C.R. chatted about her talent for writing fast, how she picks her friends to co-author with, and why she wrote Natalie' s book, Merry Me, as a romcom and not a dark romance.
