Talk Wordy

Hey y'all! Back at it again with another episode I recorded back in February at LoveLit Con, this time with romance author Mona Shroff! This episode mixes in our mutual love of pop culture references, diverse representation, and tons of swoony/steamy moments in contemporary literature. Be sure to check out her other works through the links below, and thanks for tuning in! (Recorded February 2026).

Hey y'all! Back in the studio with my solo setup for a 30+ minute long yap session about my love and adoration for season one of OFF CAMPUS. As a lover of the books, this adaptation captured my heart, made me giggle, and had my friends and I swooning every episode. Be sure to go watch the show on Prime and read the source material by the queen herself, Elle Kennedy. XOXO! (Recorded May 2026).

Hey y'all! Today's episode is one that is so near and dear to my heart. Happy release day--both this episode and her book--to the incredible Eva De Lauriers. Together, we chat about the depth of literature for younger readers and how YA, particularly romance, captures the heart and soul or so many firsts, fears, and high octane emotions. Thanks for tuning in (Recorded February 2026).
