Lori Gold, ROMANTIC FRICTION

Hi! I'm Zibby Owens, host of Totally Booked with Zibby (formerly Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books). In my daily show, I interview today’s latest, bestselling, buzziest, or underrated authors and story creators whose work I think is worth your time.&nbsp;As a <a href="www.zibbymedia.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bookstore owner, publisher,</a> <a href="www.zibbyowens.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">author </a>and (obviously) podcaster, I get a comprehensive look at everything that’s coming out and spend my time curating the best books so you don’t have to. Stay in the know, get insider insights, and connect with guests like I do. Every single day. FYI, my show has won many awards! It was one of Oprah's top literary podcasts - twice! - and has been downloaded 15 million+ times. With 2,000+ episodes to choose from, you'll never run out of book talk.
