Victoria spills the tea on what books are coming up in the future, talks about the changing publishing industry, and we even read her our queries LIVE and she gave us amazing advice on how to improve them! If you're about to start querying, this is the episode for you!

If you're a reader and want to know more about the industry, this is the way to do it! But seriously, we can't thank Victoria Marini enough for sharing her time and talent with us!

Hi, so we're Mary E. Pearson fangirls. We have been for such a longgggg time. This is Mary's THIRD time on our podcast because we are, respectfully, in love with her and her personality. Oh... and her writing.

Hi, so we're in love with this woman. Katherine Center's the Rom Commers has the magical ability to make us laugh and cry.... SIMULTANEOUSLY? So we dragged her into this podcast to discuss HOW SHE DID THAT. And bless her, she spilled her secrets. This woman is so down to earth, kind, and so funny. You're in for a treat!

This book was giving EVERYTHING escapism and witchy. Anna had disregard all our other episodes to record because this one was SO IMPORTANT to discuss. We recap Heartless Hunter and give all our out of pocket reactions, the moments we laughed, screamed, and we share the story about a WILD dead bride story.

There's nothing better than reading Shadow Hunters for the first time. The Mortal Instrumental Series is EVERYTHING for a sixteen year old. As a 29 year old, the whole brother thing was a bit wild.... (and they did it TWICE, CASSANDRA CLARE) but it literally was such a fun romp, we had to put this in the rotation for Nostalgia Tour 2024!

Anna rants about Crescent City (No, she's STILL NOT OVER IT) and brings us on THE MOST BEAUTIFUL journey with Prison Healer. After MUCH urging from Celine and the Novelbounders (shoutout to Emma and Katie!) Anna gave into the peer pressure and ignored her family for three days straight as she ABSORBED the entire book series into her blood stream. She's healed now, She loves reading again, and here's the girl's take on this BEAUTIFUL series.

This is the first episode of the NOSTALGIA TOUR 2024, where we go into the books of the 2000s and 2010s that had massive hype, and talk about them as we re-read them! First up, the classic book that started all the fae love we know today!

Over the last year, Anna and Celine have BOTH been writing books. And now, we're embarking on our next step: GETTING PUBLISHED. We're testing out both traditional AND self publishing, and thought we'd learn from someone who has ALL the knowledge and know-how!

Yes babes, we're going back to the era of CHUCKS, twilight, midnight premieres, and business casual outfits to go party. Anna takes us through her FAVORITE fallen angel books and their moody, beautiful hold on her and we'd LOVE to hear what books had YOU GUYS in a chokehold!
