October's What I’m Loving is here! This month I’m sharing what I’m watching, reading, cooking, doing more of, buying, and—of course—what I'm reading. I'm talking about what we've been up to in October and what we have left for the rest of the month, what has been on my tv lately - spoiler, it's a lot of sports, the book to screen adaptation I don't plan on watching anytime soon, playing Mahjong with new friends, and of course the books I'm currently reading. I end the episode with a super personal update about what's going on in our ex-mormon journey. If you want more information regarding the Book Club on Patreon, ⁠click here⁠!

I've never interviewed two authors at once and this was one of the most fun I've ever had! We had an absolute blast chatting all about the inspiration behind Home for the Homicides and the start of a new holiday murder mystery series! Hannah and Elle were so down to earth and complimentary towards each other and the collaborative effort it was to bring this book to readers! The book is out October 13!

I had an absolute BLAST chatting with bestselling authors Hannah Morrissey and Elle Cosimano about their new Christmas murder mystery rom-com, Home for the Homicides, out October 13! This book is for anyone who loves a good Hallmark Christmas movie but maybe wants to turn up the volume a little. Think small-town Christmas charm, a murder to solve, two detectives with a complicated history, and just enough romance and spice to keep things interesting. And the audiobook?! SO well done. If you’re an audiobook listener, definitely add this one to your list! Fun fact, the narrators Patti Murin and Colin Donnell are married IRL! They're so adorable. Hannah and Elle were just as much fun to talk to as their book was to read, and we got into everything from writing together to creating the perfect Christmas mystery and, of course, a little Christmas this-or-that. Books they recommend: Heart of Glass by Jennifer Hillier The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch Websites: https://ellecosimano.com/ https://www.hannahmorrissey.com/ IG: @ellecosimano @hannahmorrisseywriter

This was such an insightful conversation! Bestselling author Elizabeth Wellington Rollins brings us into the inspiration behind her new novel The Three Graces of Pearl Street. To catch the full interview on video, click here!

I had the BEST conversation with debut author Elizabeth Wellington Rollins about her beautiful new book, The Three Graces of Pearl Street. Set in New York City, this multigenerational story follows three women, all named Grace, and explores family dynamics, the comfort of food, and the complicated ways we love the people who know us best. Liz and I also talked about her journey to becoming a published author, the highs and lows of the publishing process, why family was such an important story for her to tell, and how being a lifelong reader helped shape her path to publication. This was such a fun conversation about books, family, publishing, and the long road to becoming an author. I think you'll love getting to know Liz and the story behind The Three Graces of Pearl Street.
