I have been a huge fan of Laura Dave's since the first time I read Eight Hundred Grapes. Then came, The Last Thing He Told Me, classic, loved, continued my Laura Dave love fest and THEN we get the "soulful suspense" (more on that in the episode) gem, The Night We Lost Him. Laura is a master on storytelling and writing. It was so fun to chat with her about her inspirations, her love for the west coast, page to screen developments and so much more.

2024/09/10

We all know her ~ mom, influencer, OOTD queen and reality TV maven, Stassi Schroeder is back with her third book, You Can't Have it All. I was fortunate enough to chat with Stassi this summer after reading the book. My first comment to her was she should be so proud; for speaking up about motherhood, marriage and all the things in between. She has come so far from her SUR days and it was so fun to chat her journey. I laughed outloud with this book and thought it would make such a great bookclub

Books are Chic with Audrey Bellezza and Emily Harding

Books are Chic ·

2024/08/28

One of the many reasons I love the internet is when you meet people who feel like friends you had growing up. This is how I feel about Audrey and Emily. Not only do I love their books but I just love their conversation, energy and sparkle. We were reunited over their latest rom-com, Elizabeth of East Hampton, which I devoured. We chatted writing, book tour, Hamptons, Austen and FELICITY! You will adore them once you listen to this chat.

Christie Watson joins me this week to chat her latest psychological suspense, Moral Injuries. This was one of my favorite chats. Watson, a former nurse, chatted all things medical (my fave) and her insights, opinions and thoughts were so valuable and fascinating. Her medical expertise is so beautifully woven into her stories and this novel is no exception. I could have listened to her journey all day. This chat is not to be missed!

FINALLY! Emma Lord is on Books are Chic. I shout that with the most love. She is the human form of the loveliest confections (tying in her love for dessert here!)

Colleen McKeegan joined me this week to celebrate her latest novel, Rip Tide. I was so excited to have her on! This book was layer, upon layer of drama, mystery, a little romance and a whole lot of 2000's nostalgia. Top notch beach read ingredients. I loved chatting with Colleen about our own memories of the early '00's, writing, reading, sisters, beach towns and motherhood. It was such a fun discussion and she is such a gem.

Books are Chic with David Ellis

Books are Chic ·

2024/07/24

This episode is for the record books. If you ask me, "Court, I need a really great thriller?" one of my recommendations will always be, Look Closer by David Ellis. Clocking in at almost 2 hours, David gave me so much of his time, his story, insight, inspiration and so much more. We probably could have chatted all day. His latest, The Best Lies, is a twisty, police/FBI/lawyer driven tale with the classic Ellis recipe of bad guys who may be good buys, OMG twists and devious, deceitful

My OG guest, Jamie Brenner is back with her latest, most fabulous beach read, A Novel Summer. Jamie pays homage to readers, bookstores and the magical little town of Provincetown, MA.
