I was so lucky to sit down with reader influencer, Lindsey, to talk about books. This was a fun, chaotic, giggly episode that was too good of a time to record. Lindsey has some incredible insights for authors looking to hook readers like her. We discuss her Icks (🐰), her loves, what catches her attention and what she hopes to see more of in upcoming novels. Lindsey is a bright, kind soul in the bookish community, one I am very thankful to have gotten to know!
