March 01, 2024 Books are Chic with Zibby Owens
The godmother of book influencing is on Books are Chic today, to celebrate her fiction debut, Blank. THE ZIBBY OWENS. Her story is incredible. Her work ethic is enviable. Her vibe is inspiring. I loved Blank and know her fans and book lovers will too. It was fun, had heart but also was a tribute to books and authors and everything in between. I so enjoyed this chat, as Zibby is so excited about books and writing that you can't help but be as equally excited. She is the friend you'd love to get lost in a bookstore with.

February 16, 2024 Books are Chic with Tia Wiliams
One of my favorites is on Books are Chic! 🖤 @tiawilliamswrites 🙌🏻 She is such a delight and we gathered to talk about her latest, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde ✨ It is romance, magic, spice and so, so unique and special. I’ve never read anything like it. 📖 It has been so fun to watch Tia’s career and all she has accomplished- @reesesbookclub pick, @bookofthemonth , a @netflix movie and so much more! P.S. She was a former beauty writer so of course I love her even more for that! 💄 🔥 🎥 🍿 #bookpodcaster #podcastersofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #booklover #book #bibliophile #bookofthemonth #reesesbookclub #netflixadaptation #booktoscreen

February 06, 2024 Books are Chic with Kristin Hannah
A readers bucket list dream. The one, the only, Kristin Hannah. Let me preface I started this interview with "I am so nervous". Never in a million years would I have thought, that when I started my little blog that could, which would then become a podcast, would I have the absolute privilege of chatting with Kristin Hannah. We all know her and we all love her. Her books are friends we never want to say goodbye to, who last forever in our book dreams. Her latest, The Women is no exception to her amazingness. The plot, the characters, all feel like things that could have happened to you, people you may know- the thing I love about Kristin's stories. She was a delight. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. It is an opportunity I will never, ever forget.
