In this episode, Leslie sits down with Zibby Owens -- publisher, author, and host of "Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books", an award-winning podcast.

Zibby has been referred to as New York City's "most powerful 'bookfluencer." She just released her latest book, Blank: A Novel. She also has two other bestsellers, "Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature" and a children's book called "Princess Charming."

On top of her own writing, she is the co-founder and CEO of Zibby Books publishing house, owns an independent bookstore in Santa Monica, CA., and runs what is referred to as "Zibby-Verse" -- a community of book lovers for which she offers retreats, classes, special events, and more.

Leslie and Zibby discuss her inspirations and how this mom of four finds time the time to sleep all while creating an entire literary universe.
