BACK WITH ANOTHER EPISODE ON THE BOOKISH HOUR...
Switching gears can be as nerve-wracking as it is exhilarating – just ask Fab about her leap from customer service into the dental assisting world, alongside her mom. But change isn't just about career paths; it's about gracefully closing one door to open another, and she's got some tales to tell on that front.
Ever been caught between the allure of a romantic readers' retreat and the anxiety of diving headfirst into uncharted social waters? Pull up a chair, and let's chat about the quirks of escaping to a literary paradise with strangers, where the line between relaxing vacation and reality TV drama blurs faster than a charley horse strikes during a beach volleyball game. As well as talking about how to support an author in need of some support more now then ever. Shea Ruby (@authorshearuby) all of her books are on kindle unlimited or you can get signed copies on her website or her books are available on the Zoe. Don't want to spend money you can just talk about her books, review, share and that support too.
BOOKCLUB PICK: If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio (SPOILERS & SPOILERS)
We discuss the whole book with its murky blend of love, betrayal, and the thin line that separates performance from reality. We dissect the hauntingly ambiguous ending, ponder the fate of its tormented characters, and reflect on the impact a powerful narrative can have on our five-star book reviews. Through the lens of Oliver's decade-old retelling, we debate the truth behind the characters' tangled relationships and the weighty theme of love versus illusion.
So, whether you're here for the personal updates, the laughs, or the deep literary analysis, this episode promises a mix of relatable anecdotes and thoughtful discussion that will linger with you, just like a good book.
