RAD reading is a bookish podcast where the R stands for refresh and the D stands for discover and where two book-loving friends with very different tastes try to help YOU do those two things for your reading life. Join Roni Loren, a bestselling romance author, and Dawn Alexander, an indie editor, as they tackle reading roadblocks, give their best bookish tips, and of course, recommend all the great reads that have kept them turning the pages that week.

Women’s Fiction with Guest Author Sierra Godfrey
Today, we welcome Sierra Godfrey, author of A Very Typical Family, to talk about Women’s Fiction. Is it a genre? What does that category mean? Can it have romance in it? Does it have to have a certain kind of ending? We answer those questions and more. Then we’re giving our best women’s fiction recommendations!
Highlights:
Something in Sierra’s author bio already has Dawn nervous
The challenge of writing sibling stories as an only child
Women’s Fiction and what does that mean exactly
Roni can’t help being a “Well, actually…” person
Our best women’s fiction recommendations
If Dawn is ever in the woods, it means we need to send help
