This week, we are answering readers' questions about working full time in the publishing space. Between myself, a literary strategist, Mollie Goins, an author, and Tori Ann Reads, a marketing designer for a publisher, we are able to cover all angles of what it is like to work full time in the bookish space.

In this week's episode, I am thrilled to welcome Ellen O'Clover to book club! In case you missed it, her newest release, If Not You, was released on September 15th, and it is truly magic on paper. Ellen and I discuss her process of writing this story, finding these characters, and what she hopes people take away from this particular book.

I am over the moon to welcome the incredible Julie Olivia to Book Club! I have been a fan of Julie's whimsical settings and three dimensional characters for years, and it was truly an honor to chat with her about her stories!

On this week's episode, Harlow James joins me for book club! I absolutely loved chatting about her recent transition to being a full time author and how she releases a book every 90 days. If you are a small town reader, look no further than Harlow's backlist! 

The most overdue episode of them all! Please welcome my best friend and very first booktoker I followed @toriannreads to book club! Tori Ann and I met through the book space and have become best friends over the past year and a half. We both work full time in the book space and are truly each other's yin and yang, and I am so excited for you all to get a peek into our friendship.

It is time for a much needed audiobook deep dive! Audiobooks have been sustaining me in 2026 and I am so excited to share a few of my favorite reads that are worth the listen!

Corinne Michaels is back for book club! Corinne and I went live to chat and celebrate the release of West of Forever, book one in the Heartstone Ranch series. This is a quick little chat but this conversation was too fun not to share!

Well... That was a week! On this week's episode, I am debriefing you on everything that has been happening in my life over the last few weeks and getting into the weeds on a few of my favorite bookish topics. 

On today's episode, the one and only Maggie Gates is joining the book club! All of my regular book club members know that Maggie is one of my all time favorite authors, and getting to talk about her upcoming releases was an absolute honor. 

In today's episode, I am flipping the script and asking YOU for hyper specific book recommendations. From vulnerable personal experiences to magical realism requests and everything in between, I have requests for them all!
