About this Podcast:
The podcast where two besties talk obsessively about all things bookish. The author is Rebecca Elder. She is known for writing emotionally immersive romance books that will make you ugly cry, laugh out loud, and kick your feet until your socks fall off. The reader is Lily. She’s been devouring books since 1991 and thinks her book addiction might possibly be a mental illness. Together, we hope to give you the best of both worlds when it comes to reading. We’ll take you under the covers of how books are born, from the writing process to the struggles of being an indie author. We’ll also go embarrassingly in-depth on a variety of truly chaotic topics, like gasp-worthy theories from your favorite books, things that give us the ick, or which fictional characters we would die to bring to life. One author. ✍️ Two readers. 📚 No outline. 😅Where the only plot twist is how off topic we can get✌️
