One of my all time faves returned to Books are Chic after missing last year, which will never happen again- Annabel Monaghan. We celebrated the release of Summer Romance which is a perfect summer read with romance and heart. It has some spice, some humor and truly is a love letter to moms of the mom figure in your life. Annabel is a true inspiration and just so humble and wonderful. I LOVE chatting with her and am so happy we could reunite.

ANNOUCEMENT! I am SO thrilled to welcome back my friend, Kristy Woodson Harvey to celebrate her upcoming novel, A Happier Life. I say this all the time but THIS is my favorite of hers. A love letter to Beaufort, to grandparents and to living your best truth and life- this is the the quintessential beach read. We talk writing, inspirations, her love for South Carolina and so much more. We ALSO discuss our upcoming EVENT! Listen up for more details. I can't even wait!

Past Reese Witherspoon bookclub pick, Amanda Eyre Ward joins me this week to celebrate her latest novel, Lovers and Liars. This book was a perfect segue to summer reading! Fun trip across the pond to a whimsical castle, three sisters who couldn't be different and an unforgettable wedding. I had so much fun chatting with Amanda about her journey, inspiration, that call from Reese and some of her very own past writing students! (Looking at you May Cobb!!)

I was so excited to welcome NYT best-selling author, Morgan Matson to Books are Chic to celebrate her newest YA Rom-Com- The Ballad of Darcy and Russell. I loved this joyful book! If you love music, young love, road-trips and family stories, you will devour this book. We talk writing, Taylor Swift, books and so much more! We need more Morgan in this world!

The one, the only, Sally Hepworth. Friend, influencer, author, mother- ICON. We are here to talk and celebrate her latest psychological thriller, Darling Girls. Loved it per usual and just love Sally as a human. We talk LIFE, fashion, writing, her career and the inspiration for this book. Think Mommy Dearest meets the TV show Sisters. Always love my chats with Sally!

Former Bachelorette now fab rom-com author, Hannah Brown joins me today to celebrate her new novel, Mistakes We Never Made. I loved this debut from Hannah. It had heart, laughs and great character connections. Browns writing felt seasoned and relatable. We chatted writing, inspiration, the shift from reality TV to books and so much more. You will read this delight of a book, wanting more from Brown and solidifying her place in the romance world.

I have been a huge fan of Jo since one of her first novels with Lucy Sykes, The Knockoff. When I heard about her latest solo project, I knew I needed to read it. Mystery, murder, food, Sicily, world travel- yes please. This book is special because Jo took on a real life family mystery and crafted a novel that will appeal to all. I had the best time chatting with Jo (over an hour!) talking books, writing, travel, Italy and so much more. Plus Jo just kept it REAL about so many things- motherhood, etc.- which I loved.
