Meet the New Wonderfully Bookish Co-Host! (Ep. 11)

Meet some of the most exciting voices in young adult literature during this special panel discussion at Foyles, London, with authors Lucy Powrie, Alexandra Sheppard, Kate Mallinder, and Gill Stewart. Sitting down with award-winning book blogger Michelle Toy, the panel explored the topic of Empowering Teens in YA, focusing on characterisation, storytelling and representation as a means of encouraging young peoples' creative expression through reading. Thanks so much to Sweet Cherry Publishing for inviting me to this event and giving me the chance to share the panel on the podcast! See the full show notes at wonderfullybookish.co.uk.

Panel Event: Empowering Teens in YA (Ep. 10)

In this episode, I speak with debut science fiction author Stephanie Bretherton, whose first novel The Bone Lines is a dual-narrative tale that explores both pre-history and contemporary genetic science. We talk about climate fiction, how the issues we're facing in the world are reflected in fiction, and women in sci-fi, among other things. See the full show notes at wonderfullybookish.co.uk.

How to Deal with Burnout in Blogging, Books, and General Life (Ep. 08)

I talk with fellow book blogger Hollie about all kinds of books: fantasy books, audiobooks, and weirdly formatted books. We also talk about setting deadlines for ourselves, and trying not to burn out from working too hard. Finally, we give each other some book recommendations and I, as usual, fangirl over author Neal Shusterman. Find the full show notes for this episode at wonderfullybookish.co.uk/podcast.
