Hi angels! 🪽

Today I am sitting down with one of the hottest authors on the market right now, Miss Alexandra Andrews! She writes sexy thrillers with complicated, morally gray women and we are so obviously here for it. 💁‍♀️

Her newest book The Fine Art of Lying has not only consumed my brain for the last few weeks, but is also Reese’s Book Club pick for the month of May AND an adaptation is already in the works with Scarlett Johansson attached.

Watch while we discuss Alexandra’s writing process, from plotting out all the crazy twists to how her daughter inspires her.

This week, we get a rare peek behind the curtain of women’s HERstory. 

Lifelong feminist Dannielle Robay joins us today to give us ALL the details about Gloria Steinem's Talking Circles, a tradition that's shaped generations of feminist conversation, and why it still matters today.

xoxo,

Hi angels! I couldn't be more excited about this week's guest, Danielle Robay!👸👠Known as the Queen of Questions, she hosts not one but TWO iconic podcasts: Reese Witherspoon's book club podcast "Bookmarked" and her own show "Question Everything," where she interrogates the most interesting people alive. Today, we're flipping the script and putting HER in the hot seat.We're asking her about her love of books, how she's developed her interview style, and where her curiosity comes from — and maybe I'll pick up a few nuggets of wisdom for my own interviewing along the way.You don't want to miss this one, babes!coxo,Olivia 🎀Timestamps:00:28-02:45 Intro/Bev of the Day02:46-05:06 Danielle’s likes & hobbies05:44-08:54 What’s it like interviewing for a living?08:55-11:55 Favorite authors to interview11:56-14:55 Learning from others vs experience14:56-19:44 Advice for interviewing Chapter 119:48-25:06 Danielle’s reading journey 25:07-27:37 Hosting Bookmarked (Reese’s Book Club podcast)27:38-30:06 Getting into fantasy booksChapter 230:10-35:35 Booktok vs “institutional” book world35:36-37:18 What Danielle’s reading now37:19-40:12 How do you read 100 books a year??40:13-41:41 Books every girl should readChapter 341:46-45:22 Rapid fire book recs45:22-45:51 Wrap up!#booktube #booktok #bookish

Not sure if Red Queen is for you?? Let us help!

Victoria Aveyard and I describe the type of girl who would love this book so you’ll know exactly whether it belongs on your TBR 

(Spoiler: it probably does...)

Hi angels!!!

Today I am joined by the one and only Victoria Aveyard, the BRILLIANT mind behind Red Queen... the only book I have ever reread in my entire life 😭📖

We get into her film school background and how 'Game of Thrones' shaped her writing, why dystopian fiction feels more relevant than ever, and how to actually write a plot twist that makes your readers lose their minds 👀✨

Plus we dive into her newest book Tempest, the Pirates of the Caribbean inspiration I did NOT see coming, and a very important conversation about women and power.

This one is for the girls who aren’t afraid of a strong female character....

Who knows you better than your own friend group?? The girls and I sit down to *lovingly* call out each other's most toxic traits and honestly? It might be the most self aware we've ever been. Jojo, Aleska, Phoenix, and Hannah... thank you for keeping it real… I think? Cozy, chaotic, and weirdly therapeutic. You're going to love this one.
