Hey friends — it's been a minute, but your girl is finally back behind the mic, and I could not be more excited for what's coming your way. I have a lineup of author interviews that are truly next-level, and we’re kicking things off with a total dream guest — my absolute fave romance author of all time: CARLEY FORTUNE 💖

Yep, the Carley Fortune — the brilliant mind behind the swoony, soul-crushing, unforgettable “Every Summer After” — is back on the pod (!!) for the first time since she joined us 3 whole years ago to talk about her debut.

Having her back to celebrate her brand new novel, “One Golden Summer”, feels like the most special full-circle moment. And y’all… this book is everything. Not only does it take us back to the world of Barry’s Bay (!!!), but it delivers all the heart, nostalgia, and summertime magic we didn’t even know we needed.

We dive into it all — the characters (TEAM CHARLIE, ALWAYS), the emotional core of the story, the setting that somehow feels like home, and what it was like revisiting this beloved world.

PLUS — if you’ve been keeping up with Carley on socials, you already know that both “Every Summer After” and “Meet Me At The Lake” are being adapted for the screen. You know I had to ask for all the juicy updates!

I’m SO excited for you to hear this episode — it’s the perfect way to dive back in after a little podcast pause. Buckle up, friends… there’s so much goodness coming your way. Let’s gooo!

Get Lit with Katie Holt, author of "Not In My Book"

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 11:00:00 -0500

Today I am sitting down with debut romance author, Katie Holt, (aka @readinromance on Bookstagram) to chat about her first ever published novel "Not In My Book"!!

I have been online pals with Katie for 3 years, and was SO EXCITED to learn that she was offered a book deal and that this book would be sold everywhere! "Not In My Book" is an epic enemies-to-lovers and workplace romance, set in NYC, where 2 students who HATE each other are forced to work together to write a novel. The steam in this book is OFF THE CHARTS and the swoony-ness is equally incredible. I literally could not put this book down!!!

Join me as I chat with Katie about the inspiration behind this book, her favourite scenes, and what she's working on next!

Get Lit with Emma Grey, author of "Pictures Of You"

Fri, 29 Nov 2024 10:00:00 -0500

Today I'm joined by author Emma Grey to chat about her latest novel "Pictures of You".

I could not put this book down, so I am so excited to sit down with Emma for this new podcast episode! We spoke all about her writing background (who knew she wrote a musical production based on her YA novel "Unrequited"!) and her latest novel "Pictures of You" that has quickly become one of my favourite books of the year.

This book deals with heavy subject matter, but it is executed in the most special and well-written way. I was obsessed from start to finish (so many twists and turns but also the best love story!!) and need everyone to read this book ASAP.

Get Lit with Eirene Tran Donohue, screenwriter of Lifetime's "Christmas In The Spotlight" movie

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 10:00:00 -0500

Today I'm joined by screenwriter Eirene Tran Donohue, screenwriter of Lifetime's latest Christmas RomCom "Christmas In The Spotlight", which is inspired by the globally obsessed relationship between pop phenom Taylor Swift, and NFL star Travis Kelce.

The movie, which premieres on November 23 on Lifetime, is inspired by the celebrity couple - though has not direct connection to the pair. Seen as a piece of fan fiction, Eirene sits down with me to chat about her writing background, the importance of showcasing diverse stories and actors on screen, her love for Taylor Swift, and how this swoon worthy film came to be!

I loved getting to dive deep into this film with the mind that created this story, speaking about all of the fun Taylor Swift easter eggs embedded into the script, and of course the themes that will resonate with so many romance readers/watchers. Even if you aren't a fan of Swift, this movie is a holiday classic that anyone will enjoy!!

Get Lit with Georgia Hunter, author of "We Were The Lucky Ones"

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 10:00:00 -0400

Today I'm joined by NYT Bestselling author, Georgia Hunter, to chat about her novel and its subsequent Hulu and Disney+ TV adaptation, "We Were The Lucky Ones".

I binge watched all of "We Were The Lucky Ones" in one sitting. I then needed to devour the book. This television series and novel could be my favourite piece of media consumed this year. I immediately knew I had to sit down with the book's author, as well as TV series' writer and executive producer, Georgia Hunter to learn more about the genesis of this story, and adapting the book to screen.

This is the story of one family's survival of the Holocaust, told in the most touching, real and raw way. I absolutely loved getting the chance to sit down with Georgia, who's a grandchild of one of the survivors, to learn more about the research that went into writing this book... and the devoting and work that went into adapting this novel in the most perfect 8-episode mini series.

I was on the brink of crying throughout this whole episode. What an absolute privilege it is to connect with Georgia and hear from her point of view what it was like to bring her family's story to the masses, especially during such trying times for the Jewish people.

Wed, 10 Jul 2024 10:00:00 -0400

Today I'm joined by author Renee Carlino, to chat about her new novel, “This Used To Be Us”.

Renee was my first guest EVER on this podcast just over 2 years ago, so I was so excited to welcome her back on the show!! I have loved every single book of hers to date, and knew I would love her latest release just as much.

We spoke in depth about her film background and what it’s been like adapting her books to the screen (her novel “Wish You Were Here” will be released in 2025, with Julia stiles’ directorial debut!) - and how she manages to write all of her novels so cinematically.

The highlight of this episode for me was getting to ask Renee all about her writing process for this newest release in particular (without any spoilers!), especially focusing on the different storytelling techniques, and her inspiration for the story.

I truly loved this episode so much, and am sure you will too! Make sure to check out Renee’s backlist, as well as her newest novel out right now!

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 10:00:00 -0400

Today I'm sitting down with New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Ashley Poston, to chat about her latest release "A Novel Love Story".

I have been waiting and waiting and WAITING to have Ashley Poston on my podcast, and I am so happy to have finally been able to connect with her to chat about her newest book, which is not just a love story between two characters, but also a love story between a character and her love for books.

I've never read a "book within a book" prior to this, and Ashley's execution of magical realism is just absolutely PERFECT. We got to chat about her entire writing background, including the wild success of "The Dead Romantics" and "The Seven Year Slip", as well as what she's working on next (y'all won't BELIEVE!)

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 11:00:00 -0400

Today I'm sitting down with author Alicia Thompson to chat about her latest release, "The Art of Catching Feelings".

This is one of my favourite books I've read this year, and it came in such an unexpected way! I loved getting to chat with Alicia about her writing background, our shared love for Paramore (YES!) and of course do a deep dive of this book.

The trope usage was *chef's kiss*, the text banter was A1, the steam was OFF THE DAMN CHARTS! So much of this book I truly adored, especially how layered and real the characters were.

Take a listen (this one's spoiler free!) and make sure to grab your own copy of this book now!

Tue, 18 Jun 2024 10:00:00 -0400

Today I'm joined by author Kate Spencer to chat about her latest romance novel, "One Last Summer".

This book was such a special read for me, since it's set at my favourite place on earth... sleepaway camp! I was so excited to chat with Kate after learning a bit about her background in entertainment news and improv comedy -- and it was such a treat to discover just how much MORE we had in common!

I loved chatting with Kate in depth about this book, while still remaining completely spoiler-free. We chatted about many of the key themes explored in this book, from work burnout and giving yourself the grace to take time away, self discovery in your 30s, the importance of friendships as you get older, the bliss of falling in love, and why nostalgia in books just feels so good. I hope you'll love listening to this episode just as much as I loved recording it!

Wed, 15 May 2024 10:00:00 -0400

Today I'm sitting down with debut romance author, actress, singer and songwriter Pia Mia, to chat about her book "Sand, Sequins and Silicone".

I am so excited to have Pia on the show today, given as I am such a fan of her music (currently am listening to Let's Do It Again as I type this) and couldn't WAIT to read her debut novel!

It was such a pleasure speaking with Pia about her music background, her acting background (YES she was in the "After" movie adaptations -- and Anna Todd herself is the one publishing this book!!!), and of course what it was like to write her first-ever romance novel.

This was such a fun episode, I loved learning more about Pia's life and how she drew inspiration from her experiences in Hollywood to build out this story! Enjoy this episode!

Get Lit with Michelle Ruiz, contributing editor of Vogue: THE IDEA OF YOU film recap

Mon, 06 May 2024 15:00:00 -0400

It's timeeeeeeeeee!!!! ⁣
⁣
Today I’m joined by contributing editor at Vogue and freelance journalist, Michelle Ruiz, to recap the movie adaptation of our shared favourite book, Robinne Lee’s “The Idea Of You”. ⁣
⁣
I first heard of Michelle when she wrote an article for Vogue back in 2020 about my favourite book. Since then, we’ve both been anxiously awaiting the release of the book’s screen adaptation, a movie now available to stream on Prime Video starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, and directed by Michael Showalter. ⁣
⁣
I am THRILLED to have Michelle on the show today to dive deep into both of our POVs on this adaptation. As (very) passionate fans of the book, you can imagine we have some critiques. However, what we can say, is that you have never listened to a more comprehensive review of a book to screen adaptation EVER!! ⁣
⁣
Both of us would love to keep the conversation going, and are looking forward to your thoughts! Please, please, please chime into the conversation below - and share your perspective on the adaptation. We can't wait to hear what you think, too! ⁣

Get Lit with Hannah Brown, author of "Mistakes We Never Made"

Wed, 17 Apr 2024 10:00:00 -0400

Today, my worlds are colliding. I am SO excited to share that I am sitting down with debut romance author and former ABC's Bachelorette, Hannah Brown, to discuss her upcoming book "Mistakes We Never Made".

Prior to joining Bookstagram, I was all about creating online content revolving around ABC's The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise -- so what a treat it was to be pitched an opportunity to sit down with one of my favourite leads ever - Miss Hannah B!!!!

Hannah's autobiography "God Bless This Mess" was one of the earlier books I reviewed on my page, so I was so thrilled to get to chat with her all about her experience writing a fictional romance novel. We of course chatted all about her time on reality TV, the characters she met and the experiences she lived through - which all then played a major hand and somewhat of an inspiration to the characters, tropes, and plot lines in this book!

This was SUCH a fun episode to record, and I can't wait for you to all listen to it! Since the book releases next month (May 7), this episode is completely spoiler free and the best prequel for pre-ordering your own copy right now!

This book has been taking over my social media feed for weeks, so I knew I had to reach out to Kelley to chat with her! If you're someone who is a fan of music love stories, particularly The Idea Of You, Daisy Jones and the Six or Almost Famous... this book is for YOU!

We didn't go too deep into the story with this one, because it's best to go into the book blind! But what a fun conversation!

Tia has been one of my favourite romance writers for a few years now, so I am so excited to have her back on the show to chat about her newest book. Since we last connected, Tia's writing career has continued to blossom.

Her book "The Perfect Find" was turned into a Netflix film, her other novel "Seven Days In June" is currently being adapted into a TV series where Tia serves as an Executive Producer, and she managed to write this latest novel in the shortest amount of time!!

This was such a fun conversation. I loved getting to chat with Tia about what she's been up to, and really dive into the inspiration behind this story, the research that went into it, and all of the characters - without any spoilers!

Get Lit with Alison Rose Greenberg, author of "Maybe Once, Maybe Twice"

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 10:00:00 -0500

DID YA MISS ME?! Today I'm joined by screenwriter-turned-romance author Alison Rose Greenberg, to chat about her latest book "Maybe Once, Maybe Twice".

Alison's book is my favourite read of 2023, and upon reading it I immediately knew I had to come out of my winter hibernation, and record this very special episode for all of you!

We spoke in depth about Alison's writing background, the inspiration behind this story in particular, how she managed to write a love story in THREE different timelines, some of the really tough but important plot lines included, AND THAT ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was such an incredible episode to record, as I learned so much from Alison's POV and *somehow* fell even more in love with these characters (didn't know that was possible!!)

Speaking of these characters, you will definitely want to listen to the end of this episode as there may or may not be a MAJOR teaser on Alison's upcoming book about a character you may want to hear from.....

Thank you to each and every listener for an incredible 2023! My plan is to be back in Spring 2024 with more regular podcast episodes. That being said... you may hear from me sooner ;)

I was so excited to chat with Kate after reading her book - since it reminded me so much of one of my fave romcoms "When Harry Met Sally". I was in for such a treat as to where this conversation would go!!

From learning about Kate's writing background, to all of the personal anecdotes and learnings she put into this story - it was such an interesting conversation. I loved all of the representation in this book and it was so nice to dive deep into the inspiration and intention behind them with Kate.

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Today I'm joined by bestselling romance author, Jean Meltzer, to talk about her latest release "Kissing Kosher".

I've been a fan of Jean's writing since her debut romance book, "The Matzah Ball", was published a few years ago. She is one of the first Jewish romance authors I really resonated with, and it's been such a pleasure watching her career flourish!

In this episode we chat about the beginning of Jean's career (who knew she moved to Israel and went to Rabbinical school.... after being nominated for a Daytime Emmy for a career in TV writing?!), what is going on with the movie adaptation of "The Matzah Ball" (and all the epic stars currently attached!!), and of course the genesis of her latest book and the most important key themes surrounding chronic illness and intimacy.

I LOVED this conversation, and know you will too! I was grinning from ear-to-ear while recording it, and hope you feel the same while listening!

It was SO MUCH FUN getting to know Timothy - and we really hit it off! I loved getting to chat with him about the genesis of his career, the inspo behind his newest book (calling all "13 Going On 30" movie fans!), how the heck he managed to write such a magical story with a time jump, his take on love scenes and intimacy in romance novels, and of course what he's working on next (y'all aint readyyyy!)

Mon, 14 Aug 2023 15:00:00 -0400

Today I'm joined by bestselling author, film producer and creator behind the internationally beloved romance series "After", Anna Todd!

I have been such a fan of Anna's for nearly a decade. Her series, "After", started on Wattpad as a fan fiction story starring Harry Styles and the rest of One Direction. The online story took off with over 1 million readers and downloads, leading to a published book series and cult-favourite movie franchise!

I loved getting to chat with Anna about the trajectory of her career, her involvement in the "After" movies (the final installation will be released next month!) and of course her latest book "The Burning".

What a treat getting to chat with an author I've admired for so long! I hope you will love listening to this episode just as much I loved recording it!

This is one of my favourite books of the year - so I couldn't WAIT to chat with Regina about her spectacular debut! For fans of Robinne Lee, Tia Williams, Kennedy Ryan and beyond... you will all be OBSESSED with Regina's book!

The story read like a Shonda Rhimes drama - and I think that's one of the reasons I loved it. Regina and I chatted about the intentional trope use in this novel (and how she played with them vs. how they are conventionally used), her intentions with creating flawed characters, the trajectory of this story - and so so so much more.

This is a powerful love story that you should all read! What a chat!

I am GIDDY to share that I finally managed to host Katherine Center on my podcast, and I can't hardly believe it! I've been such a fan of Katherine's books for the longest time, so it was SUCH a delight to chat with her about the trajectory of her career, and all the success that's come since.

A Netflix adaptation of her book, "Happiness For Beginners", starring Ellie Kemper and Luke Grimes comes out soon - so I couldn't pass up a chance to ask her about that experience... as well as what it was like to make the movie for "The Lost Husband", starring Josh Duhamel & Leslie Bibb.

We also of course chatted all about "Hello Stranger", face blindness, and how this adorable yet unusual romance came to be. Tune in now!

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Today I'm joined by debut author, Kara Alloway, to chat about her new book "Most Hated".

You may recognize Kara as the "villain" on The Real Housewives of Toronto, but let me assure you - Kara is anything but!! I was in for the surprise of my lifetime with this conversation. I really had no idea where this talk would take us, but MAN what a journey!

I learned so much about Kara's professional background, and how the opportunity to be a reality TV star crossed her desk. More importantly than all the crazy BTS stories she shares (and there's A LOT!) I loved getting into the main themes of this book and chatting about the importance behind female friendships and feminism.

Kara's book is a light-beach read that has something for everyone! I know you'll all enjoy it, too!

Get Lit with Bridget Morrissey, author of "That Summer Feeling"

Tue, 30 May 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Today I'm joined by romance author Bridget Morrissey, who wrote the new LGBTQ romance, "That Summer Feeling"!

I was definitely skeptical when picking up this book, because I heard the main trope used was Insta Love, which sometimes is really hard to nail. Bridget did such an amazing job at executing a difficult trope, by setting this romance in an adult-only summer camp, and having it be a real story of self discovery.

I loved chatting with Bridget about the themes of this book, how the story came to her, and why she thinks it's so important for readers to indulge in this type of book right now.

Thu, 02 Mar 2023 12:00:00 -0500

Today I'm joined by debut romance author and Bookstagram friend, Nina Arada who wrote the emotional, dual timeline romance novel "Because Of Us".

Nina (also known as @pillowtalkreads and @pillowtalkwrites on Instagram!) started her bookstagram account around the same time as me, and we quickly became friends. When she reached out to tell me she has written a book, I was so surprised and SO IMPRESSED!

I knew her love story would be one I'd adore, simply because we have the same taste and preference in romance books. And I was of course right!

"Because Of Us" has been POPPING OFF lately on Kindle Unlimited, and for the right reasons! This is one of the most raw, emotional, swoony and sexy second chance romances I've ever read.

I LOVED chatting with Nina about her decision to start writing, how it's been promoting herself as an author -- while also being a bookstagrammer, favourite moments from this book, and what she's got going on next!

I absolutely LOVED getting to chat with Melissa about the inspiration behind this story because of how unique the concept is -- and how it grabbed my attention from the first pages. I love how gently it broached heavy subjects, how wonderfully easy it was to suspend disbelief, and how ooey-gooey delicious Ewan, the male MC was!

I encourage you all to pick up this book and let me know your thoughts once you do!

Last winter, Emily took over romance book readers hearts with her debut, "Always In December", so I am so excited to chat with her about her newest release!

It seems as though Emily has mastered the art of creating sad, yet hopeful holiday romances - and she's done just that with her latest romance. In this chat, we talk about grief and how it's depicted in its most authentic forms, highlights and favourite relationships from this story, moments that didn't make the final edits of the book - and of course, what she is working on next!

Tune into this chat for more!

Join Instagram book content creator, @getlitwithlianna, as she sits down with a different guest author to chat about their books, writing career, and everything in between! Of course each conversation will have a very *LC* touch - aka crying over book boyfriends, marvelling over swoony moments, and obviously a ton of pop culture references!⁣
