Everyone knows I have a soft spot for a thriller that feels straight out of a ’90s movie and Yours Always absolutely delivers. Corinne Sullivan’s dark, twisty love triangle is a true page-turner, and I was beyond excited to welcome her to the podcast.

Fun fact: Corinne is Cosmopolitan’s resident reality TV expert and news reporter so yes, reality TV by day and twisty thrillers by night…sign me up. We chatted about her genre shift, creative inspirations, must-watch true crime docs, and the thriller reads she can’t get enough of.

I’m already eager for whatever Corinne writes next, but I also love that she’s a fellow reality TV fan. I’ll say it forever - books and escape TV are truly a match made in heaven.

Such a joy chatting with fellow New Englander Riss M. Neilson as we celebrated her latest romance, The Bridge Back to You. Set against the backdrop of a restaurant and a touch of forced proximity, it’s the perfect recipe for heart, heat, and so much more. I found myself telling Riss again and again her stories feel like the people we know and the lives we’ve lived.

After speaking with her, it’s so clear how deeply she values human connection and how it shapes healing, love, and family. We talked about everything from our shared love of the beach and books to writing, grief, and the ways our pasts can quietly influence our futures. Riss is incredibly thoughtful and insightful, with a warmth and positivity that truly shine both in conversation and on the page.

Beyond thrilled to welcome this month’s GMA Book Club pick and March Book of the Month author, Elizabeth Arnott, to Books Are Chic! Her latest, The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives, is a glamorous, darkly delicious tale that defines killer chic.

Elizabeth joined me during the U.S. leg of her book tour, and honestly I could have talked books and true crime with her for hours. We dive into her bold shift in genre (and why we’re so glad she made it), serial killers, the intrigue of the 1960s, what’s next for her in the mystery space, and so much more.

This is a perfect book club pick, sparking conversation around women’s roles in the ’60s, the stigma faced by families of criminals, and the power of female friendship. Trust me- pour yourself a margarita and get ready to fall in with this unforgettable group of women.
