Part 1 of my Halloween double feature:

Hidden Pictures was one of my favorite reads last year so I was thrilled to welcome Jason Rekulak to Books are Chic! His latest, The Last One at the Wedding, was wedding gone wrong - a fave suspense plot line. Boston, murder, fabulous wedding and too many suspects were all the ingredients to this perfect fall read. I had to much fun chatting with Jason about thrillers, writing, Stephen King and parenting. Definitely a conversation not to be missed!

You all know I love welcoming new authors to Books are Chic and I was so thrilled to welcome Alexandra "Zan" Romanoff for her new romcom, Big Fan. What I loved even more was that Big Fan was the first romance novel under the brand new, women run romance imprint, 831 Stories. Big Fan is a blend of politics, boy bands and a whole lot of heart. It is a bite sized read that will leave you wanting more. Zan and I chatted books, romcoms, pop culture and everything in between. Zan felt like an old friends as did her characters. This book is a perfect fall accessory and the fact we are supporting new bookish imprints is just the icing on the cake.

If you love Disney, if you love pop culture, TV and early 2000 celebs, you will LOVE Disney High. I was so thrilled to chat with Ashley Spencer about her debut book and chat all things Disney channel. This book is a love letter to the early aughts Disney channel celebs and shows that set off a global Disney phenomenon. Spencer thoughtfully pens this book with insider interviews, fun facts and stories of the start of Selena, Hilary, Miley and the Jo Bros. I was on the older end for these shows but I have had fun watching them through my kids, they still hold up! You know I love a pop culture celebration and this book was no exception!

I really don't know what is more chic than a book about Taylor Swift and her style? I'll wait....

Sarah Chapelle the brains and style behind the instagram handle, Taylor Swift Styled, has thoughtfully written and curated the most epic book of all things T Swift style. The must-have for any Swift fan, fashion lover or pop culture enthusiast. I had the best time talking all things Taylor, fashion and Eras tour with Sarah and celebrating this chic and stylish must-have.

Once More From the Top is a nostalgic journey that will have you thinking of all your most favorite singers as well as all your most favorite high school memories. I had the best time chatting with Emily Layden and celebrating this book. We chatted the importance of music, writing, pop culture and so much more. If you loved Daisy Jones and the Six, you will devour this novel!

Chic. That is what this book is. When I say books are chic, this book is the epitome of just that. I LOVE a good non-fiction fashion history book so much so that I have a whole bookcase dedicated to the genre. When I heard about Nancy's book, I knew it was a must-read and it did not disappoint. If you love fashion, this is for you. If you love history, this is for you. If you love New York, this is for you. The thought, research and detail Nancy put into this book is unmatched. She is an expert for a reason and this book is an investment piece if there ever was one.

I have been a huge fan of Laura Dave's since the first time I read Eight Hundred Grapes. Then came, The Last Thing He Told Me, classic, loved, continued my Laura Dave love fest and THEN we get the "soulful suspense" (more on that in the episode) gem, The Night We Lost Him. Laura is a master on storytelling and writing. It was so fun to chat with her about her inspirations, her love for the west coast, page to screen developments and so much more. She is an auto-buy author for me for a reason and after this chat, she will be for you too!

We all know her ~ mom, influencer, OOTD queen and reality TV maven, Stassi Schroeder is back with her third book, You Can't Have it All. I was fortunate enough to chat with Stassi this summer after reading the book. My first comment to her was she should be so proud; for speaking up about motherhood, marriage and all the things in between. She has come so far from her SUR days and it was so fun to chat her journey. I laughed outloud with this book and thought it would make such a great bookclub book. SO many little nuggets that will inspire you, will have you calling your mom friends and appreciating the little things in life.

The fabulous writing duo of Ali Brady joined me, two of my most favorites, to celebrate their latest novel Until Next Summer. I have loved watching Alison and Bradeigh's writing journey and always love our chats. They take us back to summer camp with some romance, friendship, nostalgia and lots of spice. We talk the love of romance novels, summer magic and so much more.

Read with Jenna pick! Barnes and Noble August Book club selection! Book of the Month selection! NYT bestseller! The list is endless and this book was a gem. I was so thrilled to chat with Alison Espach to celebrate the many achievements and accolades of The Wedding People. This book is smart, thoughtful, funny and heartbreaking all in one, perfect end of summer literary aperitif. We chat writing, luxury hotels, mental health, friendships and so much more!
