  • Kristina McMorris (The Girls of Good Fortune) is on the Radar!
    May 20 2025

    New York Times and USA Today bestselling author KRISTINA McMORRIS joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss The Girls of Good Fortune! This novel transports us to a dark time in our Nation's history - we meet Celia in Oregon in 1888, where anti-Chinese sentiment is running high and injustices are rampant. Is good fortune simply a matter of luck - or is it fought for or earned? Standing up for what's right takes courage ... it might get you killed, but it might also inspire your future daughters and their daughters. We talk with Kristina about extreme injustices and whether it's ever too late for a reconciliation. Who keeps your family stories? Do you share a family lifeline through food? How can a simple bun be such a symbol of identity? What a beautiful discussion! Join us!

  • Chris Pavone (The Doorman) is on the Radar!
    May 20 2025

    New York Times bestselling author CHRIS PAVONE returns to BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss THE DOORMAN! This novel has been called a modern-day version of The Bonfire of the Vanities -- and we're not surprised. It's a blistering, powerful, and thoroughly entertaining take on current society, all against the backdrop of gritty NYC. You'll want to hear Chris' ode to the real-life doorman who inspired the idea for this story. We talk about the transitional times in our lives - are we more vulnerable to poor decisionmaking? Affairs? Should we trust the choices we make at those times? We discuss his characters' confusion surrounding identity -- what if we don't fit in anywhere? And why are certain non-political issues very political now? Ultimately, we talk about empathy and love ... tune in; you'll be so glad you did!

  • Jessie Rosen (All the Signs) is on the Radar!
    May 6 2025

    Bestselling author Jessie Rosen joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss ALL THE SIGNS! You might know her from her award-winning blog (20-nothings), her bestseller (The Heirloom), her live storytelling show Sunday Night Sex Talks (featured on the Bachelorette) or her various television shows (The Baxters). In her newest novel, we meet Leah Lockhart, a young woman who is proudly science-minded and woo-woo averse. But the life she’s carefully curated is knocked suddenly off course by a series of events. We talk with Jessie about those types of transformative events. Why do we spend so much time trying to defend and protect our original life's course? Why do we sometimes intellectualize our feelings ... instead of just feeling? What happens when a parent places some heavy-duty expectations on our lives? Nature versus nurture, anyone? Are we destined to become our parents? And what is a STAR TWIN? We cover it all - an wait until you hear some of the behind the scenes details shared by Jessie! Fantastic, lively, engaging ... join us!
