Ep. 194. Bookish Time Capsule (2017) with Catherine (@GilmoreGuide)

In Ep. 194, Catherine (<a href= "https://www.instagram.com/gilmoreguide/">@GilmoreGuide</a>) and Sarah head back to the year 2017 in the book world with this second annual special retrospective episode! They share big bookish highlights for that year, including book news, award winners, and what was going on in the world outside of reading. They also talk about how their own 2017 reading shook out, including their favorite 2017 releases. Plus, a quick run-down of listener-submitted favorites!

Ep. 193: Clare Leslie Hall (Author of Broken Country)

In Episode 193, author Clare Leslie Hall talks with Sarah about her US debut, <a href= "https://amzn.to/4iqnOt3">Broken Country</a> — a breakout hit and a <a href= "https://reesesbookclub.com/book/broken-country/">Reese’s Book Club pick</a>. A genre mash-up that is part love story and part murder trial, Clare talks about marketing Broken Country, how this came to be her first U.S. release, and the ways the novel evolved over time. Plus, Clare shares her book recommendations.
