I couldn't tell you before reading No Ordinary Love what it meant for a book to be "swoony." Enter - No Ordinary Love and in particular Miles. And... I get it now. Swoony, for me, has everything to do with the hero. And Miles is a hell of a hero.

OH! This book! This weird drink! And Lauren! What is not to love about this episode? I love everything Lauren writes - her touch with historical fiction is so deft. It's enlightening and page turning and as a reader I am never once bogged down by research - so much so her books feel like peeks into the homes and hearts of real people living in fascinating times. And this book is part court room drama, part true crime story - staring Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, before the duel. But the part I loved the mos...2025-03-2054 minDay Drinking With AuthorsLauren Evans, Casket Case and the second cheapest red wine at the store...The premise of this book made me gasp.

There's a company structure and he's working his way up the ladder. This, of course, is totally a secret. He says his job is logistics and that makes sense. Nora is grieving the loss of her family while taking on the family business A Casket Store. Yep. In small town Alabama. So, it's quirky. It's romantic. It's got a third act love triangle. But it's...2025-03-0631 minDay Drinking With AuthorsRochelle Weinstein, We Are Made of Stars, White WineI sat down with a glass of white wine to talk to one of my favorites - Rochelle Weinstein about her latest novel We Are Made of Stars.

You're going to need a Bloody Mary at some point while reading this absolute page turner. Alison combines conspiracy theories, cults and grief. It's a huge story and also a very small story. I honestly feel like there were some magic tricks in the writing of We Are Watching - all of which we talk about in our fantastic conversation. “Alison Gaylin proves once again that she is a master at mining the zeitgeist to create smart thrillers that are at once emotionally resonant and truly terrifying… utterly captivating.” — Alafair...2025-01-3139 minDay Drinking With AuthorsInes Johnson, Page Turner Pacing and sakeThis is one for the authors. Any author. All The authors. Forget every bit of pacing advice you've ever been given and pick up Ines' book - Page Turner Pacing How To Write a Bingeworthy Novel in 21 Days Using the Addictive Principals of Episodic TV.

And what makes Naima Simone a favorite of mine - is she always understands the assignment. This is a writer who gets romance. She knows how to pay off the tropes, how to create fully alive characters and most importantly, keep the pages turning. I've read a lot of Naima's books but nothing prepared me for Church Girl. It's hot. Like...real hot. It has an important conversation within itself about what is holy and what is profane. It's imbedded in rich deep culture. AND she had a fe...2024-12-2638 minDay Drinking With AuthorsHeather Webb and Hazel Gaynor, Christmas With The Queen and a Dubbonet and GinI had no idea Queen Elizabeth II had a favorite cocktail.
