Without counting, I'd say this episode of ijustreadthisbook--the podcast has the most tangents yet.
'Yellowface' perfect novel for writers, authors, and readers.
'Yellowface' perfect recap from writers, author and readers for writers, authors and readers.
Writing tip: take a sentence from a book, song, etc. to start; write off that sentence and when you get to the bottom of the page/paragraph, delete the first sentence.
Writing tip: you do not have to write linear.
Writing tips: embrace the journey, put on your blinders when/before the comparison monster strikes, and sharing is caring.

New season. And new guest.
After Pat read John Green's NF novel, I begged him to read my favorite John Green novel ('Turtles All The Way Down') and join me on ijustreadthisbook--the podcast. I remember when a high school teacher thought I had ADHD and I was like 'uhm no' but the many avenues Pat and I took this hour could have determined otherwise. Or, I just love talking with friends about books and I can't think straight, so I think constantly and say everything without taking the time for my brain to slow me down. Oh well, I hope you enjoy.

JSYK: so much abuse, I donāt even know how to categorize it. Olivia is back to talk through what Lynne and Val put us both through while reading their novel 'The Last Mrs. Parrish.' Also, Olivia is raising money for the Special Olympics this year and participating in this years annual Polar Plunge, if you would like to donate--click the following link: https://secure.e2rm.com/p2p/fundraising/367787/participant/5040172/en-CA?fbclid=IwAR3oYsIkTlveGUjmNHTbbucdgRPs1dKRGNtlvevODphgBTIMRmIgvq9N4sE#.YfCEw42tFx4.twitter Again, I did not complete Dry January. Dry January is STOOOOPID! THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN!
I invited my friend Jamie to talk about Kathleen Barber's 'Follow Me.'
I have never felt my age more than trying to understand the life of an influencer and it shows.
If you're doing Dry January, we have four more days people! WE GOT THIS
*UPDATE****
I broke dry January. Dry January is stupid.
Also, since the recording of this episode instagram has updated their algorithm for dog and book ads and I am pleasantly surprised at where a chuck of my money will now be spent, thank yew.
TW: abuse.
āI canāt explain the mind of a writer to youā¦ Weāre able to separate our reality from fiction in such a way that it feels as if we live in both worlds, but never both worlds at once.ā
Two writers discuss the writing of Colleen Hoover's 'Verity' and the writer Verity. There were tangents and opposing points for the first time on ijustreadthisbook--the podcast and I was here for it. See you next time in 2022--THURSDAY JANUARY 27TH to be exact.
TW: fat shaming, fat phobia, eating disorders, disordered eating and addiction. āAnyone who makes you feel youāre not enough isnāt worth the breath it takes to tell them to go to hell.ā My friend Lauren joins me on the podcast to discuss the themes of Denise Williams' 'The Fastest Way to Fall.' AND A BIG SHOUTOUT TO MY NUMBER ONE BESTIE, NICHOLAS ALLEN!!!!! This year wouldn't be much without you. I love you forever.
