Gilmore To Read: Rebecca Ross’s Newsroom...

Tara Llewellyn & Haley McIntosh
About this episode

Hi book besties, Another episode of Gilmore to Read, but for this one---let's time travel to the end of 2023 when I had a conversation with the author of the Reading is Sexy pick for *November 2023* Rebecca Ross!

Rebecca Ross is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows, a duology set during WWI-esque war of the gods following two journalists connected by magical typewriters.

In this episode, Rebecca and I talk about what she writes in her brainstorming journal, why she waited until she was an adult to watch Gilmore girls for the first time, and how her critique partner convinced her the world (and the story of Divine Rivals) needed a Roman C. Kitt POV.


In February, Reading Is Sexy is reading This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan and Where You Read, I Will Follow is continuing Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors!
